The Our Girl Addicts Thread 68 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. After the end of series 4 of Spooks, we have taken a short break and are back with our first love - Our Girl. The consensus of the group was to view series 2. We are now viewing series 1 to remind ourselves just how much we enjoyed it. Please join in if either Spooks or Our Girl grab your attention.

The detainee is Bashira's brother.

[Magi84]

Yes Rhu I kept thinking surely someone mentioned the boss's wife. Also her being medic would she not have knowledge from his medical chart re NOK

[Rhubarb01]

Bashira's brother suggests there is a threat to her and it must be an attack in Kabul.

[Rhubarb01]

Come hither nod...join me in my portacabin.

[Magi84]

Oh heck here we go into his cabin and we have a nice chat before it all goes wrong

[Rhubarb01]

CJ's speech here is just a little bit cringey.

[Rhubarb01]

Yes...I've been to Bath!!!

[Rhubarb01]

Love that his parents seem to live in Royal Crescent...as if!!

[Magi84]

Yes the phrase "you taught me that" sounded a bit unlikely

[Ilovelblue]

@Rhubarb01

CJ's speech here is just a little bit cringey.

Totally agree!

Like the bit about Bath though!

[Rhubarb01]

Talking of Christmas, here comes the Panto moment. Lock Molly in the wardrobe.

[Rhubarb01]

Blimey, unhinged Smurf, love that quip from CJ. He must be so embarrassed.

[Magi84]

Oh dear now it is a cringey speech from Smurf

[Ilovelblue]

It is rubbish that she hides in his wardrobe.

Isn't it number 21 at the Royal Crescent? Every time I've been up there for a look since this series, they've had a dead box bush outside the front door!

[Rhubarb01]

CJ must also be horrified that Smurf thinks he's in love with Molly. LOVE TRIANGLE.

[Rhubarb01]

CJ just wants him out of here. Must be very confusing for Smurf to get this reaction. Now he drops the bombshell.....the WIFE!!!

[Ilovelblue]

Ooops, now Molly knows CJ is married (well thinks he is).

[Rhubarb01]

Remember how we all thought what an utter cad he was....Molly is out of there like a shot.

[Magi84]

Now surely that was an unlikely thing also asking how did you propose to your wife

[Ilovelblue]

... and now she finds out there's a child in the mix.

[Ilovelblue]

Why does Smurf think a pizza would cheer her up?

[Rhubarb01]

@Magi84

Now surely that was an unlikely thing also asking how did you propose to your wife

It was a classic soapy type twist.

[Magi84]

Why could he not just say he was divorced. Not good television though eh. Too straightforward that would have been.

[Rhubarb01]

Like I said earlier, surely his family situation would have been mentioned at some point if Smurf knew he was married. The others must have thought so too.

[Rhubarb01]

Smurf hands over the ring, and Molly in her weakened state agrees to look after it. I feel sorry for him because she has messed with his feelings albeit unconsciously.
