Our Girl

[hellywelly4]

I thought the final episode last night was wonderful. I realised I was watching with a smile on my face for most of the time - not Smurf's death, obviously, but I would certainly be in the queue for Ben Aldridge if I was 50 years younger. Ends tidied up nicely, a really feel good ending.

[quizzywig]

Totally agree helly. Great series. I would be there right behind you for the dishy Captain!!!

[patsyann]

Oh no you dont hellywelly4 this 74years young lady is first in line for Ben Aldridge. Just something about him and you obviously feel the same. Seriously though I thought it was such a lovely programme and Lacey played Molly Daws so well. Sad about Smurf though that was unexpected. Wonder if we will get a sequel. Hope so.

One of the most ridiculous series I have watched, oh so amateurish.

It might have been a little more believable if the one female had been amongst a number of other females, but one and sleeping in a tent along with a crowd of men?

I don't know what anyone who has served in the Afghanistan campaign thought about it, but to me it was a prime example why women should not be on the front line.

East end girl meets Toff Captain who falls in love with her and sets her up in his mansion, yeh?

[patsyann]

Aw anotheoldgit I don't think any of us regarded the programme as factual. it was just entertainment with a bit of romance included that gave us old girls a bit of a thrill. Lol. Ben Aldridge just has that special something particularly when in uniform.

[patsyann]

Oh sorry Piper H. You will still enjoy the programme we have not given away that much.

[patsyann]

Yes but you don't know how. Lol

[bednobs]

i thought it was fluffy and quite poorly written (that bloody clunky dialogue they were looking embarrassed to say last week) and large parts of it did not make sense. However , i really enjoyed it as sunday night fluff and think lacey turner is a great actress. I can't imagine how it could be used as a real world argument as to why women can't serve on the front line though

[hellywelly4]

Lovely to see your comments. perhaps it's a 'girlie' thing old git, we didn't really care whether it was factually accurate (sorry but in my case that's how it was), I just melted at the way the Boss looked at Molly. I wish he could look at me like that, but no chance, at 74 minus 4 days there's no hope for me, or you, patsy ann!!!

[quizzywig]

I think you're right helly. Bring on more 'girlie' things I say, especially with Ben Aldridge!!!

[horselady]

Didn't watch the series but after reading some comments have just googled Ben Aldridge. Please can this 65 year old join the queue? No harm in dreaming!!

[patsyann]

Dear ladies of a certain age on this thread.Do you think we might be able to become Bens Cougars. Lol How funny that we have all found him so attractive.

[hellywelly4]

What a good idea!! I've never been a fan of anyone before, so this will be a first for me. I thought he was irresistible.

[quizzywig]

Put me down for being one of Bens Cougars straightaway please!!!

[islasmum]

Me too!
