The Our Girl Addicts Thread 66 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 3. Please join in if this grabs your attention.

Happy New year all, mi5 needs us.

Happy New Year ladies! Are we ready to start on series 4 on Wednesday? I don't know about you but I have been so mixed up with the days over the holiday period and the extra bank holidays (even though I'm retired) have totally thrown me!

Have any of you been watching Stonehouse with Matthew MacFayden? A very different character than when he played Tom Quinn.

See you all tomorrow.

Happy New Year to you all. Despite my best intentions I am afraid I won't be able to join you this evening. I will of course watch episode 1 of series 4 ASAP and read all your comments. I am celebrating a birthday this week and as it is a rather large round numbered one family and friends are descending on "chez nous" on varying days at varying times. All very enjoyable of course but nips into my normal routine.

Ooooh Magi! Given your username and the length of time we've known you, I can guess at that large round number. Congratulations! Enjoy your celebrations. XX

Hiya, I too will be celebrating a birthday but, as it isn’t a round number, it’s not quite so important, so I hope you will all join me in a glass of your choice while we watch tonight’s episode and we can raise them together to Magi’s large round number.
All the best, Magi!

Thank you ilove I guessed you'd get the number Think I'll start counting backwards from now on.

Hope you too have a lovely birthday eejit. I like your theme of a glass or two to celebrate. You probably feel like I do that early January is not all that marvellous as a birthday time. Remember feeling that very much in my younger days after a good Hogmanay

Everyone’s partied out come early January. 😪

Happy birthday eejit.

I may have a coffee and some After Eights tonight if that's ok. Alcohol whilst concentrating on one of our episodes will undoubtedly result in me falling asleep on the job as it were. Been there, seen it and got the T shirt on that! Haha.

I've been overdosing on After Eights.

Evening Ladies!

Many happy returns Magi and eejit - enjoy your birthdays!

Magi spending the whole week celebrating, sounds ideal - hope there is plenty of 🎂and 🍷

Just pressed play and they are doing the recap for the end of the last series...

Well here we are at the start of series 4. Just doing the recap from the very sad last episode. RIP Danny.

Looks like the team are heading for Danny's funeral.

So DEFRA is the cover for Danny's job. Rotten singing...come on Ruth...you do scratch Requiems.

Danny's funeral service and loads of mobile phones going off. Something's afoot?

Sorry - a tad late, trying to persuade iPlayer I didn’t want to watch Happy Valley. Thanks for the good wishes.

Meanwhile, terrorists have set off a bomb. Blimey, all those peeps...

Fantastic retort from Harry to the Americans!

Nice change of patter at the vital moment there from Harry.

Juliet...she looks like she might be trouble!

Harry looks somewhat perplexed at the arrival of Juliet. Is she muscling in on his pitch?

What a gorgeous cat.

When they say Professor Curtis I think of Professor John Curtis and his electoral polling forecasts.

Burmese cats are like the racehorses of the feline world.

I love oriental cats but I want a cat that can go outside and catch birds and mice. I don't want one I have to keep inside in case it gets pinched.
