[MaryAnnSingleton]

yay !

[NoahFence]

god i love him

[MaryAnnSingleton]

here !

[roisin]

How come he has been on TV for 3 or 4 years already and he still looks 14?!

[BrigitBigKnickers]

I was thinking only the other day it was about time for another Gareth fix

[MaryAnnSingleton]

am very excited !

[MaryAnnSingleton]

today !!

[JeffVadar]

I love his programmes! He is absolutely brilliant at getting things done, and everyone gets to have a good time, and I always cry at least once during every episode (but in a good way!)

[Countingthegreyhairs]

Yipppeeee!!!

[emsiewill]

OMG!!! I love this programme, I love this man.

He is just so inspirational.

I am in a choir, it keeps me sane, I love it, but I don't think people can understand how energising and inspiring it is. This programme shows them how enjoyable singing can be.

[Katisha]

That was really uplifting telly.
And fortunately they didn't try to ratchet up tension that wasn't there like most reality programmes.
He is brilliant. We need him cloned.

[emsiewill]

Yes, I was really glad that there was no false building of tension over whether there would be anyone turning up - he was a bit concerned, but then 200 people came. No drama, just all round warm feelings!

[Hassled]

I love Gareth. He's so damn young and enthusiastic and silly in an engaging way. All seems to be going suspiciously well, though - next week they'll be leaving in droves. Or he'll get stabbed.

[emsiewill]

It is wierd how they all just accept him, even though he is supremely (in his words) "middle class". Some of it must have been set up in advance - can't believe he really just strolled into the boxing club and was accepted just like that.

I was watching and wondering how much of the appeal of the choir was to do with getting on the telly.

Still, doesn't really matter why they came, the fact is they did, and they enjoyed it.

[EccentricaGallumbits]

I do love him. Such a thoroughly nice chap.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

oh I love it - go Gospel girl !! and sad widower - awww.
I would love to be in a choir

[PheasantPlucker]

I love Gareth. And believe he should be available to all on the NHS.

I have the RAH performance by the boys choir from a few years back saved, and I watch it if I am feeling a bit low. I love it when he mouths 'This is it'.

Oh God I love Gareth Malone!

[MrsSantoslovestheNHS]

Awww - I miss singing in the choir - too hard to arrange with LOs. He is great - weirdly attractive in a totally non sexy but compelling manner

[BrigitBigKnickers]

Loved it, Loved it!

Reality TV at its best.

Me too Mrssanto I used to love singing in a choir. There is no way I could do it mainly because I spend all my time running the DDs to all their activities.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Pheasant - I have that favourited too - always cheers me up !

[RTKangaMummy]

My best friend was/is singing in this choir with Gareth and it is still going strong

They were really deffo brill

[florence2511]

I love Gareth, but am unfortunately going to miss this series as I am out of the country and can't get iplayer

[RTKangaMummy]

There will be a dvd for sale of the series

[LIZS]

fab programme , he has real charisma [swoon]

[BellaLasagne]

I've been in his presence (you may touch my hand!!) as he taught a mass choir composed from our local primary schools and my daughter was singing in it. He is absolutely brilliant with children, and pretty good with swooning mums too!

My only disappointment is that he's very small (petite) and has just got married!

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Damn! Missed it! When is it repeated, anyone know?
