100 Things of Pros - 8: Thinky-things via letterzines - no girlfriends in season 4?!

[byslantedlight]

I've been slowly reading through some old letterzines this snowy weekend, The Hatstand Express, c1986, and in one of the letters Jane (of Australia) points out that by season 4 we don't see a single girlfriend in the eps! And I thought - isn't that an interesting thought!

So here's my list of season 4 eps (granted, Jane might have had a different bunch in mind - but not necessarily "transmission order", cos that only applies to the UK and she was in Australia. I think I remember that our eps were mostly shown in production order (from some research by kiwisue and constant_muse. Anyway - here's season 4, for me, and she may be right - after the first few eps, they do seem to fall out of girlfriends, don't they? Or...?

It's Only a Beautiful Picture...
Blood Sports - Doyle and Anita Carrebreros - but she's really part of the job
Hijack - girls from the ministry - but the lads seem to be dating them together?
You'll Be All Right
Kickback
Discovered in a Graveyard
Foxhole on the Roof
Operation Susie
The Ojuka Situation
The Untouchables
Cry Wolf - Bodie doesn't try to get off with Susan Grant!
A Man Called Quinn
Lawson's Last Stand
No Stone
Spy Probe

Has anyone else noticed this?! *g*

I don't remember it coming up before at all, so maybe it was before my time? (Or someplace I'm not supposed to go... *g*) Or maybe in The Hatstand Express it turned into a long conversation that you're remembering and I've not got up to yet? *g* Either that or my memory has got really bad... eep!

It does make sense though - they've been through it all, and now they're together properly and don't need anyone else... *sighs happily*
