The Our Girl Addicts Thread 80

We've been going since 2014 and have watched numerous other series as well as Our Girl. We're currently on the second series of Last Tango in Halifax and are enjoying it immensely!

Hi folks. Sorry missed last night. Bit of a hiccup as I have broken my right arm. So plaster and sling. Won’t be with you for a few weeks but will watch the episodes. Hopeless left handed.

Oh you poor thing! How did you do that? As eejit says, in plaster in this heat! Look after yourself. xx

Hi everyone, I've just realised that the England game is on at the same time as our watchalong tomorrow. Would anyone object to a postponement or possibly delaying until Thursday if that would be convenient? Apologies to the Scotland fans (I was genuinely willing them on, I promise - I always support all home nations, the same in the Commonwealth Games) but I'm not sure I'll give LTIH my full attention if we go ahead as normal 😂

Happy with either proposal Rhu.
TBH - I only watched the first half of the second two Scotland games before losing the will to live. Now, Saturday’s rugby match against South Africa, that had my pulse racing! 😁

HI all

I don't mind whether we postpone or change to Thursday. It's your choice Rhu, I don't mind the odd big football match and have seen bits of all of them (in fact all of the one against Norway) but did avoid the England v Mexico one due to the timing. It comes of working with so many men over the years - if I didn't know what was going on, I couldn't join in the conversation. They did know I wasn't a total fan though. Tennis is more of my thing. There were some amazing matches at Wimbledon this year. I felt quite bereft on Monday after it all finished!

I'd be happy to do the watchalong at 9pm tomorrow (Thursday) if that's OK with everyone else.

Ilovelblue · 15/07/2026 09:20

I may have to set a reminder but I'll be there!

Hope we win tonight!

Thursday ok with me too.
Advance warning that the only free evenings I have the last week of July are the Friday and Saturday.
Happy to catch up on my own rather than ask you all to postpone, though.

Rhubarb01 · 16/07/2026 20:05

Evening all!

Well after a Lost Opportunity In Atlanta are we all ready for a Last Tango in Halifax? I have a sneaking suspicion it might be an Argentine Tango 😪 It also strikes me that 60 years of Hurt, might be an apt alternative title for LTIH 😂

Anyway, all that aside. Ready for the next episode at 9pm.

eejit I could do the Friday or Saturday if everyone else could manage one of them?

eejittwo · 16/07/2026 20:58

As we say in Scotland, Rhu, it’s the hope that kills.
All ready for tonight’s episode.

Pressed play...doing the recap.

Ilovelblue · 16/07/2026 21:01

I'm here. Just got in from watering in the greenhouse!

Gillian uncomplicated...I think not!

Ilovelblue · 16/07/2026 21:04

Where Gary and Alan were meeting was definitely Halifax. We have never really seen the town so far, have we?

OP posts:
Rhubarb01 · 16/07/2026 21:05

I'm never quite sure where they are as I'm not familiar with the area and they tend to dot about a bit.

Rhubarb01 · 16/07/2026 21:06

I'm surprised that Gillian isn't going to Caroline's wedding.

The most interesting part of the town is an architectural masterpiece called Piece Hall. It's amazing.

Blimey, John has gone to the class with Kate - hilarious - but awkward too.

eejittwo · 16/07/2026 21:08

John is such a hoot!

Rhubarb01 · 16/07/2026 21:08

Kate's my wife's girlfriend....yes quickly moving on!

Ilovelblue · 16/07/2026 21:08

Oh John, why are you even there?

OP posts:
eejittwo · 16/07/2026 21:12

Isn’t that a tad unfair, Caroline, glugging wine in front of Kate.

Rhubarb01 · 16/07/2026 21:17

A good moment to open up, I think Alan.

eejittwo · 16/07/2026 21:18

What I do like about this series, is the phone calls, with the mouthing to one person while on the phone to another.

Ilovelblue · 16/07/2026 21:18

It's confession time about Gary as a result of Alan's affair.
