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.

Oh Oh he has cottoned on

[Ilovelblue]

Zoe goes to find what Gordon has been up to. He's with one of the young schoolboys. What's going on?

[Rhubarb01]

How times have changed in the teaching world.

[eejittwo]

Well, that was quick.

[Magi84]

She's appealing to his "better" nature

[Rhubarb01]

So, the kid is the hacker it seems. That's a twist.

[eejittwo]

Oh, how’s Dad? I recognise him.

[Rhubarb01]

INCOMING....TAKE COVER!!!

[Ilovelblue]

The schoolboy is the hacker - what does his father have to do with it?

[Magi84]

I think he used to be in SilentvWitness eejit

[Rhubarb01]

Now, I've heard of kids setting off the fire alarm to get out of school, but planting plutonium takes the biscuit.

[Rhubarb01]

Is the Dad real...or is he imagining him?

[Ilovelblue]

What on earth is Ruth talking about?

[Rhubarb01]

So, Ruth will prove to be the key to solving the puzzle after all.

[Magi84]

Well I have to admit I'm lost

[Rhubarb01]

Yes magi there's a lot of back story being thrown in and it's a bit confusing to follow.

[Ilovelblue]

I've been struggling here. Not the easiest episode to follow.

[Ilovelblue]

The child hacker is now in some sort of psychiatric clinic. His father's death must have sent him over the edge.

[Rhubarb01]

Well, that's a nostalgic view of your school days, Harry...hmmm 😕

[eejittwo]

Well, that was confusing.

[Magi84]

I never thought I'd say this but I think I prefer it when they are all running about in action episodes. All that endless explaining git a bit much. By the way the other thing the Dad was in was an early episode of Soldier Soldier

[Rhubarb01]

The next episode looks better.

[eejittwo]

Have we agreed on Monday?

[Rhubarb01]

Yes, he was in Soldier, Soldier, wasn't he magi. According to IMDb he was Major 'Dickie' Bird in what was probably series 1. I think I remember it a bit. He was the smug one that the Laura's moustachioed husband wanted to beat in the wargames.

[Rhubarb01]

Yes, Monday's OK I think for everyone?
