VE day concert , chris evans is crap

[southeastastra]

the show is really good but bloody hell chris evans is a crap compere i wonder why they picked him

apart from him it's very moving

[Mrsmorton]

He's totally the wrong guy for this can't stand him anyway I agree OP.

[Bombaybunty]

The whole thing is very dull.

[mrsdavidbowie]

I detest Chris Evans. Hyper and bleats on about his bloody kids too much

[Sparklingbrook]

Was Jane Horrocks genuinely overcome or acting?

[LavazzaLover]

Im just taking in the other artists. Very moving.

[balletgirlmum]

I couldn't tell sparkling which shows how good she is. I think it was genuine

[Bombaybunty]

I think she was moved and upset.

[balletgirlmum]

Agree about Chris Evans.

[southeastastra]

it was genuine, i was listening on the radio (which was broadcast an hour earlier) and it was really moving.

[NoMoreDelays]

Dull BombayBunty?

Did you listen to that letter Jane Horrocks read?

[HSMMaCM]

I think she was really struggling with her emotions.

[Sparklingbrook]

I thought it was real. She was shaking. Just wasn't sure if she was acting. V emotional.

[balletgirlmum]

It must be really hard to perform stuff like that.

Dd is currently rehearsing a dance based on the idea of families waving their men off to the war. 10 leave but only 3 return & she's struggling with the emotions.

[Sparklingbrook]

Oh, it's Wolfie.

[nikki1978]

Alexander Armstrong has a good voice doesn't he? I was very surprised when I realised who it was.

Yes Chris Evans was a crap choice.

[Cooroo]

I know it shouldn't matter but the poem says "they shall grow not old", not "they shall not grow old". It jarred. Surely he could have learned the bloody words??

[Bombaybunty]

The readings are good. The entertainers are very dull.

[Sparklingbrook]

Chas and Dave again.

[Ludways]

I blubbed right through Jane Horrocks, no mother should lose a son, when she started to cry I was beyond tears.

I'm normally very hard faced but the wars always floor me.

[LeicJess]

Chris Evans is spoiling it, he sounds so insincere. He has all the animation of someone reading a shopping list.

[Sparklingbrook]

Chris Evans hair is a bit weird.

Is Gareth Malone not around? He always sets the right tone.

[Hepzibar]

I normally like Chris Evans but he is a bit wooden tonight.

Chas and Dave were fab - and they don't look any older!

Not convinced by Jane Horrocks.

Love Alfie Boe.

Chas n Dave were my faves.


Oh God - they just ruined it with Kathryn Jenkins.

[nikki1978]

Urgh fucking Katherine Jenkins voice goes right through me

[balletgirlmum]

Love Alfie, hate KJ

[southeastastra]

i don't like katherin jenkins either, her voice is irritating a but nasally
