The Our Girl Addicts Thread 65 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 series, 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 have now agreed to watch the old BBC series of Spooks and are currently in the middle of series 2. Please join in if this grabs your attention.

[Rhubarb01]

Danny is going undercover at the bank.

[Ilovelblue]

Here we are again. Series 2 episode 4.

[Rhubarb01]

Poor old Zoe. Fancy getting the cleaning job, bit of a come down from chasing down terrorists.

[Rhubarb01]

Must cost them quite a bit in expenses to keep meeting at the London Aquarium. There she goes making flirty eyes again.

[Ilovelblue]

I like the idea that Ruth is teaching Danny to be a stockbroker.

[eejittwo]

Gosh, this is bringing back so many memories of what happened in real life.

[Rhubarb01]

Times have moved on...they'd been in headsets now.

[Rhubarb01]

Meanwhile back at the coalface, Zoe is stealing the shredding to be glued back together again, I presume.

[eejittwo]

Dustbin bags of shredded docs.

[Ilovelblue]

I had a mad boss once who tried to prove you could do just that Rhu and stuck some shredded spreadsheets back together again!

[Ilovelblue]

OMG what a way to die.

[Magi84]

Danny is a success. He will be in his element here

[Rhubarb01]

Well, each to their own ilove

[Rhubarb01]

A bit racy for Spooks, it's usually a little more restrained than this.

Meanwhile, Zoe gets to do the drudgery.

[Ilovelblue]

Cute fox. Trader of the day Danny.

[eejittwo]

That’s back when traders were stars.

[Magi84]

Is that co-op bank then?

[Ilovelblue]

One place I worked (going back over 30 years) had dealings with a stockbroking firm. I went down to London a couple of times. The guy we dealt with had Dennis Thatcher as his godfather. Strange the things you remember.

[Rhubarb01]

Oh we are in McMafia territory now. Once again, this is still reasonably topical.

[Magi84]

Oh dear "Dickie" is involved with the Russians

[Rhubarb01]

The bank boss is in on it.

[Ilovelblue]

I do like Malcolm. He makes me laugh. So geeky.

[Ilovelblue]

So how has the head of the bank got involved with the Russians?

[Magi84]

The plot thickens.the dame from the Chancellor's office is also dodgy

[Rhubarb01]

So, the narky woman is in control of the bank chap.
