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.

I've often thought (and we are on our fourth series aren't we) that the plots are still relevant today, some 20 years on. The NHS crisis is very pertinent.

Who is the communist guy's wife? Her face looks familiar.

Apparently her name is Janet Amsden. Doesn't ring a bell with me.

I wonder if Adam would be better in action rather than slops

That's the sometimes scary thing, is how close sometimes it mirrors real life

Hey, we can take dodgy time scales - we’re OG addicts.

We could write a book about those inconsistencies!

eejittwo · 28/02/2023 21:15

Yup - Russian oligarchs and dodgy deals. Plus ca change.

Well that's very true eejit. We spent hours and hours trying to work out timescales, especially in series 1 and 2. We could write a book!

As for your question eejit about demanding cats, there is the sleeping variety which isn't too demanding!

Normal is a matter of perspectives, at least what they do overall is for the greater good

You can't have friends in MI5 so says Harry.

That club looks awful.

I don't think the GCHQ mole is going to come out in one piece.

When your in the field, you can truly only trust yourself, you never know who's truly who

Yep, the big chief is back pedalling at rate of knots.

That's the thing, go for the greater good, or follow orders

Hawkins003 · 28/02/2023 21:29

I've usually presumed, that the intelligence services should help set policy especially if they can get spooks all over
