The Our Girl Addicts Thread 72 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 the three series of of The Musketeers. There was a definite connection between Our Girl and The Musketeers in the delightful form of Luke Pasqualino. We are currently part way through series 8 of Spooks. Having recently witnessed the demise of Adam Carter in the last series, he has been replaced by Lucas North.

We are in the final stages of series 9. We start series 10 very soon.

It's true that Ros did what was required once, but found it highly distasteful. I suppose we've got double standards here to some extent, imagining Dimitri wouldn't mind, but perhaps it makes him feel uncomfortable.

This bloke is taking his checking up very seriously.

I know it's fiction, but how come the MI5 guys have such cover stories that - for instance - Dimitri can work at an estate agency and one of the members of staff know who he is. Will that member of staff get paid some sort of retainer I wonder?

They called her a 'tame' estate agent, so I assume they've got various people they can tap for assistance as and when. They probably do get some sort of payment for being on standby.

We could volunteer for that!

I'm going to say it...I find the stuff with the old Russian flame a bit boring. All that deep meaningful staring into space and cryptic words.

Not sure I'm very good at lying on the hoof, though. I'd be umming and ahhing and the fate of London would be all my fault.

ooh, Ruth's got a date with the Home Sec.

Doesn't look like Ryan is getting a warm welcome. Perhaps it's the psycho brother?

Hmmm, he wouldn't be my choice - I wonder what's on offer?

This Home Secretary thinks he is a bit of a comedian

Three's a crowd! Look who's the gooseberry.

Is it another rogue Yank CIA agent?

It's been a while since the team descended on a house like that. Who thinks the brother will go back and nearly catch them?

Dimitri is going to give himself away with his fighting skills.

Yes, you don't really think of estate agents being SF trained (he was in the SAS or SBS wasn't he?).

SBS - he can drive boats, rememberi.

Yes, big boats!!

They lied to him about the heroin.

An estate agent who also knows about pharmaceutical drugs?

I bet Dimitri feels a bit rotten now.

Oh, the brother lied too.

That didn't do him much good, but I assume Dimitri legged it fast enough.

Bless, Erin for being so kind.

Back to the original story. Yes, who did kill Tariq?
