byslantedlightYeay! Nine o clock! Pros!
Ah, the Turkel brothers... there's something about the colour of this ep actually, it looks very... brown? Or grainy perhaps? Very seventies somehow! (non-remastered version, I'm watching)
Bloke with stocking on his head... bored squaddie... not so bored now. Shoots pointlessly at truck - that worries me more than the thought of the police with guns in some ways...
And a disused warehouse - ah, the baddies are Irish... The other baddies have bigger guns - oh and ew, bad moustaches. That blond looks kind of like Hutch... Bang. Eep. Many bangs.
And yeay! The car through the window and our lads running - now we're into it! I wonder when they took these credit shots, Doyle's hair is at the loose-curly stage...
Eep - many bodies, and sometime now... any moment... Cowley! "Bod-ay! Doyle!"
Oh dead blokes everywhere! Bodie's first line - very posh accent... second and third lines a bit more normal... eep, Valentine's day line posh again... "Yeah, didn't they though" - nice line, very... tough. Cynical. That's our lads. But they're very... acting. Aren't they acting? Bless 'em...
Stuff with young feller-me-lad, whotsis-who and his grenades and guns...
Oh, look at those cars!
Doyle asking Bodie if he was in Belfast... hmmn! Doyle wanting to know "Whose peace?" - he's a bit sympathetic to the IRA? Or..? Anti-British army? Anyway, Bodie pokes him in the back as he goes past - yeay touching lads!
Ah - Cowley and his lecture. You throw that chalk, dust those hands... Better yet, here come the lads, sneaking in... oh yeay. I like them sneaking in. Sort of sidling. There's our Bisto Kids... "One whiff of anything and you're there..." *g* Actually I quite like that this was the third ep in a way - sounds less like exposition, knowing that. Though the "Bod-ay! Doyle!" line would have been a good opener.
Ah, Cowley's fascist overtones... hmmn - maybe Bodie was playing up to Doyle, who'd sort of accused him of being fascist in Belfast? Ah... now that kind of makes sense. Trying to redeem himself, but getting it wrong. Bless!
There's our Pamela - sorry, Nurse Bolding. And yes, that's what you do when your friend has been taken by a bloke with a gun, you go running towards them, cos that'll be helpful...
Bodie looking peeved at Doyle arguing with him... Cowley agreeing with Doyle - Bodie convinced it's more terrorists. I wonder why..?
Ooh, music! Not the usual tune! They really do not come over as extra-cool in that brown... Rover? Whatever it is.
Hee - Doyle laughing at Bodie's joke about appendix. Bodie being all joke-y in general... the lads both knowing procedure well enough to tell the police they've done it wrong. Ever so confident they are...
Ooh, Doyle with a gun on his back - now why is that... somehow quite... good? And just look at Bodie's arms when he crosses them! Nice... Like the green vests too. Bodie's got a pla-an...
Aw, cute in the glasses too.
Approving Doyle. They are working together well here, for all they're not always in total agreement. Bodie knows more about grenades etc. Ooh, Doyle with those bullets in his mouth as he reloads...
They're half-teasing each other, half snapping at each other, aren't they... And Bodie's wearing a gold bracelet! In the first ep! So much for Doyle-wears-all-the-jewellery... *g*
Doyle knows the exact moment it changes... underarm lob, Bodie?! Ah, all sorted, well done our lads.
Ooh, Doyle looking very grumpy at young Billy! Strange angle to shoot him actually, not his most flattering! All down-turned lips he is... Bodie just looking hard.
Ah, Bodie teasing Doyle about art classes - small smile on Doyle's face though now. Doyle very serious in some ways though, compared to Bodie's attitude! Doyle's shirts by F.U.S. - his jeans in Slush Fund were F.U.S. as well...
Cowley and his leg, and his whisky... I can never quite decide whether Doyle says "He coughed" or "He gobbed" - sounds like the latter, but I think it's the former! Doyle challenging Bodie... Cowley actually collapsing with his leg. He must have had the bullet out in a later ep, only way to explain the lack of bad turns later on! Doyle looks after Cowley though, handing over his drink.
"Rules, sir?" - see how rebellious they are... Doyle smiling at Bodie's play with Cowley as they leave the room...
Ooh, Doyle on tiptoe in the cellar, reaching upwards... *is shallow*
Bodie not liking police any more than Doyle seemed to like soldiers. Hmmn - Doyle's not the one outraged at the idea of a "bent top cop" though.
Here's Betty, blouse and nice print skirt today. Very chatty she is with Cowley. Never quite sure where fanfic writers got the impression that she was so efficient and collected, she never seems that way to me!
Ooh, look at Doyle up those stairs! It's Bodie's flat... the furry bedspread. Dark walls. Pic of a fly on the wall?! And Doyle all... antagonistic to "Betty"... *g* And "Come on, handsome." *g*
You know, a Rover squealing tyres isn't quite as cool as a Capri... or... hmmn, I think even a Lada squealing tyres might be cooler, in fact...
Doyle looking taller than either Cowley or Bodie there - hmmn, must watch out to see what shoes he's wearing! Or what shoes Bodie isn't wearing... *g* Bodie's turn to wear tight trousers though. *g*
More brown... Lovely old building though, that "police station"
Lads driving something yellow now. Ooh - Doyle's sitting behind Bodie - yes!, hand on his arm, and a bit of a squeeze! *g*
Doyle knows what the police station procedure etc. Ooh, look at the way Doyle's looking at Bodie when Bodie can't answer him, and then when Bodie's answering Cowley. Just... I like it when they look at each other. *g*
I like Doyle's dark brown - cords? Hee - it's the Moo Rover! *vbg*
Can't quite believe that the baddies don't know what the home secretary looks like...
Bodie being frisked... Should be Doyle doing that... *g* Speaking of which - he's wearing a long chain today, silver. And he's got a... a sort of twist at the hips as he walks. Bendy, that's our Doyle.
Doyle very confidently in charge already. Ooh, he's squirming at the idea of the rank he used to hold, being forced to say it out loud at least. Not cowed though - "I'm sorry sir, but you're not."
Okay, Dapper (whatever his name is) has got a very pretty face - and the 'tache really doesn't change that fact!
Doyle manages to lean against the open van door - very nice. Ooh, and he's ever so good at catching rifles.
Bodie looking up at the bad guys - Cowley looking very fondly at him, with a smile!
Ah, the Doyle roar. He's got such a voice, hasn't he?!
Cowley's looking so smug about Bodie!
Doyle being all ruthless with Henry Turkel. I dunno why Charlie doesn't just shoot Cowley, mind - I mean, he's got hostages, no matter who they are. Doyle being more ruthless. Ah,he's just realised he's still got hostages - guess Charlie does believe that his brother's had it. Well, Doyle is looking pretty hard, actually. I'd believe he might shoot!
And there, it's all over... the baddies taken away, Bodie holding Cowley's hat... Doyle doesn't get to keep the gun. And neither of them get a lift home. Nice light on... erm... Doyle's bum as they walk away. *still shallow*
And aww - over again! Fifty minutes of our lads... Okay, not my favourite ep, but... they were wearing good trousers. And I like the by-play between them, a bit not-sure, you know. I'd want to say this wasn't long after they were partnered, but that'd mean playing about with timings like the ones Doyle gives in Close Quarters - it'd mean a season couldn't possibly be a year. But then maybe it shouldn't be, particularly... Hmmn!
Right - bed! To sleep, perchance to dream of our lads... *g*

Date: Friday, 18 January 2008 08:53 am (UTC)Like when Cowley is just saying that bit about kicking them in the goolies and all you can see in the background is Doyle leaning against the door and his .... ahem
I haven't checked this out yet either, and I've totally meant to! *happy sigh* I love that no matter how many times I watch the eps, there's always someone somewhere who's got a "did-you-see" moment that I haven't seen... *g*
And just heeee for Roughy-Toughy Ray - he really is, isn't he! So many different Rays - roughy-toughy, and out-of-control-angry, and can't-take-the-pain, and my-god-someone's-breathing-on-my-neck, and... and they're all
ourBodie's Doyle... *vbg*
