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.

The Russian guy, I have temporarily forgotten his name!

Ben Daniels is a multi-award winning performer who is equally at home whether working in Film, Television or Theatre. He was born in the Midlands and became interested in acting through drama lessons while at comprehensive school. He began his career after leaving London's prestigious LAMDA drama school. His early work in theatres around the UK led to him being cast as Richard Loeb, one of the two Chicago "thrill killers" who murdered a nine-year-old boy in John Logan's factual play, "Never the Sinner", at London's Playhouse Theatre. His performance earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in that year's Laurence Olivier Awards and has led to a highly respected theatre career, notably "Martin Yesterday" by Canadian writer Brad Fraser for which he received a M.E.N. nomination for Best Actor, "As You Like It" (TMA Supporting Actor award nomination), "All My Sons" receiving an Olivier Award and a Whatsonstage Award for Supporting Actor and, most recently, starring opposite Academy Award nominee Laura Linney in the Broadway revival of Christopher Hampton's "Les Liaisons Dangereuses", for which he received a Tony Nomination for Best Actor, A Theatre World Award for Breakthrough Broadway Performance, a Drama Desk nomination for Distinguished Performance and an Outer Critics Circle nomination for Outstanding Performance.

Ben's television breakthrough came playing philandering "Finn Bevan" in three seasons of the BAFTA-nominated BBC series Cutting It (2002). Other notable television work includes the late, great Frank Deasy's hard-hitting drama Real Men (2003) and the controversial The Passion (2008), playing "Caiaphas"; "Francis Walsingham" in The Virgin Queen (2006); HBO's Conspiracy (2001); Ian Fleming in Ian Fleming: Bondmaker (2005); the political thriller The State Within (2006) and, more recently, four seasons of the acclaimed ITV drama, Law & Order: UK (2009), as senior crown prosecutor "James Steel".

His diverse film work includes the religious fanatic "Goat" in Doom (2005); "Leopold the Tutor" in Daisy von Scherler Mayer's Madeline (1998); neo-hippy "Tony" in Beautiful Thing (1996); "DJ Bob" in Michael Winterbottom's I Want You (1998); "Augustin Robert", the soldier who falls in love with a leopard, in Passion in the Desert (1997), the sadistic "Danny" in Noli's disturbing Married/Unmarried (2001) and the also excellent Luna (2014), written and directed by cult artist and graphic novelist Dave McKean.

That's true, hopefully he will begin to heal

eejittwo · 28/02/2023 21:59

That were good. Nobody died - though a couple became cabbages.

Hawkins003 · 28/02/2023 22:00

Looks like a plane takedown for next episode

Rhubarb01 · 28/02/2023 22:00

A poignant episode. At least Adam began to come to terms with it.

Back to Wednesday next week?

Magi84 · 28/02/2023 22:01

Lots covered in that episode. Very poignant ending too.

eejittwo · 28/02/2023 22:01

I’m not around next Wed and for some reason I think the next is Monday 13th, or have I had a mind wipe?

Ilovelblue · 28/02/2023 22:02

Are you around any other day next week eejit or should we jump to 13 March (the only day Rhu is available that week)?

Magi84 · 28/02/2023 22:12

I'm staying out of a conversations about senior moments, mind wipes and going with Hawkins in anything that I can't mention is because it is classified and nothing whatsoever with one's memory ..

eejittwo · 28/02/2023 22:35

Could do Monday or Thursday

eejittwo · 01/03/2023 11:23

BTW - advance warning that I can’t do Wed 22.

Ilovelblue · 01/03/2023 20:01

I'm fine with either Monday or Thursday next week. What's the consensus?

eejit if you'd rather swap our weekly watchalong day if you're starting to struggle with Wednesdays, I'm happy with that.

Rhubarb01 · 01/03/2023 20:14

Either Monday or Wednesday next week are OK for me.

Magi84 · 01/03/2023 21:27

I can fit in any day next week so I will wait to see what you decide. However I can't do Monday 13th the following week or indeed any day that week so I will watch the episode and read all your comments.
