The Our Girl Addicts Thread 64 Stay focused, Stay alert, Stay alive and carry on....spying

[Ilovelblue]

We started to follow Our Girl back in 2014 and although there will be no further sries, we do revisit from time to time. We have watched all seven series of Soldier Soldier to keep up our military terminology and have galloped through all three series of The Musketeers. There was a definite connection between Our Girl and The Musketeers in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino. We are revisiting series 2 of Our Girl currently but when this has come to an end, we have agreed to start watching the old BBC series of Spooks. Please join in if this grabs your attention.

Rhu when you watched it first time round, what were the comments re the plausibility of it all? I'm thinking of how people reckoned OG1 was wide of the mark and we had various army wives and girlfriends saying it wasn't true to life.

You have to be jack of all trades when you are a spook. Teaching computer skills now. Contact made

Neatly done there, getting her on side. Now a staged bag snatch too.

Oh she used a bad expression there. Wonder if that is because she is married to a racist or was thought acceptable to say then. I wouldn't have thought so.

Tom gives tips on how to avoid getting drunk!

Is Danny fixing his own credit ratings?

I don't know. It was so many years ago there wasn't any social media then like this.

Finding this too engrossing to post!

She is ad libbing at the moment. NIce work.

Oh dear, she is getting a bit close to him now. Not sure what Ellie would think of this. Awkward...

I think she has designs on Tom. Sorry, can't even remember her proper name!

Eejit - can you see how I got hooked so quickly? I'm now on series 4!

Secret ink...how very famous five!

Nobody is who they seem or say they are. Got to have nerve for this even an undercover journalist now

One thing I can remember being said about Spooks was that it was discouraging women from joining MI5 because the survival rate isn't good for some.

That's why he didn't give him the pen to write because it's an audio bug.

Did I not read on MN that MI5 were trying to recruit women via Mumsnet?

Oh, dear, does that mean something nasty is going to happen with a waste disposal unit?

Looks like they've persuaded the wife to leave her abusive husband. This is tense.

It was on here a few years back ilove . They really are trying to shake off the Spooks misconceptions. I imagine it's really quite mundane a lot of the time.

You'll have to wait and see. I'll be sounding the claxon at the right moment!

When do I look away?

They've been betrayed. Oh no.....

Things aren't looking good here. I'd prepare to look away fairly soon eejit.

Oh that snide little journalist has dropped them it

Soon...they are in the kitchen. Might be an idea to do something else now....
