i still cant take him totally seriously because of kevin bishops brilliant piss take ("i used to be fat, i am half chinese and i'm gay but i DON'T like to talk about it"). But am quite liking his new programme.

Which i think finished for good last night?!

I love Gok. He isn't particularly over the top either and always try's to boost confidence.

Haven't actually seen it but I do have a lot of time for Gok. Just seems really nice and positive without being patronising or pushy. So I'll say YANBU.

Thanks gokettes. Gokelles? Gokerinas? am now suffering with gokeritis.

I don't like him. He's only interested in women with no clothes on. Ugh!

Is this the teenage bully programme. I have never watched any of his programmes before, but the teenage bullying one is very good. I thought he did a good job at giving these children a bit of confidence without changing them from being themselves ie no makeovers but teaching them how to stick up from themselves.

I agree. I don't enjoy the makeover type programmes but I thought he was great with the teenagers. He got his point across without being too preachy, gave them the evidence (ie showing them how pictures were altered after a photoshoot) and let them work the rest out for themselves. The teenagers all seemed to instinctively trust him and I thought his affection for them seemed genuine. Nice to watch.

Has it finished? I must have missed loads of them, I didn't realise it was on until last week and thought it was a new series. Oh well, hopefully catch-up tv will come up trumps!

I only watched one episode with the twins, i didn't realise there was more than one, will have to watch catch-up.

What channel was it on, yes I enjoyed it but I like Gok anyway. I watched the first one but missed others. Saw the one with the really tall lad who went boxing.
