The best thing I've watched for many a month.

I *really* hope they release a record for Christmas and it keeps x-wanc off the no.1 spot

Almost agreed (enjoyed Top Boy more!). Surprised there's no thread here already as it was a really interesting and really moving series.

Always amazing the results Gareth Malone is able to get from people in such short spaces of time. Sarah was hot and Sam who did the final solo was very impressive smile

Very enjoyable program, very unlike me to watch a program like that. The Albert Hall performance was very good, +1 on the xmas number 1 comment, about time that something that makes a difference gets the spotlight.

Have to agree on it being one of the best programmes on TV for a long time. Gareth never ceases to amaze me with his enthusiasm and, the way in which he manages to bestow said enthusiasm onto the choir members.
Loved the Remembrance Sunday performance at the Royal Albert Hall - very emotional and, quite believe the soldier when saying there was not a dry-eye in the Hall.

Not something I would normally consider 'my cup of tea', but that was a great bit of TV.

A single is being released - a studio version of the Remembrance Day performance.
Chris Evans seems to be mounting a campaign to try and get it to be the Christmas No1 as mentioned above to beat the X factor dirge

You can now pre-order the single as of this weekend.

Anyone know how the heck you do that, I've never downloaded any music before?

Is there any chance of moving this into the Lounge for more views?

It's all in a good cause to raise money for charity and ensure that x factor rubbish stays off the top spot at Christmas.

Pretty please?

Chris Evans has played it a few times on my way to work in the morning. I want to like it, but it's so bland I just zone out and think of other stuff and then realise I've missed it again.
