Oh no. Just channel hopping and realised lovely Gareth Malone is doing his 'choir' thing again-and I have missed the first half. I didn't even know it was on. Sad

Anyone watch this this evening?
Oh God I just ADORE Gareth Malone.
We really need a heart emoticon!

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 14/11/2011 22:18

I watched and was totally in awe (again) of Gareth and all the ladies who plucked up courage to go along and sing in his choirs.

I [heart] Gareth!

jasper · 14/11/2011 22:28

Yes I love him ! he really has his work cut out for him with those ladies - they seem a very fragile bunch

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 14/11/2011 23:38

I watched them on the British Legion Festival of Remembrance - wow!

AitchTwoOh · 14/11/2011 23:43

it's GREAT, isn't it? i wuv him. have seen a few eps now, he's so good with them and they ger SO much out of it.

FruStefanLindman · 15/11/2011 07:53

Last night's episode was fantastic. And what about Sam? Having finally plucked up the courage to do a solo, she was absolutely brilliant.

Methe · 15/11/2011 08:09

He's lovely isn't he! Count me in any choir-ing !

scaryteacher · 15/11/2011 09:14

I wouldn't say they were fragile Jasper; you wouldn't survive as a Forces wife if you were. They are on edge the whole time though, as they are always dreading that knock on the door. I found it hard when my dh was at sea; and when my db was in Afghanistan it was tough, and he wasn't out on patrol like these ladies husbands are.

It is great though that this gives them a focus and something to take their minds off for a short while what is happening.

fluffyanimal · 15/11/2011 09:51

I'll join the MN choir! I want to cuddle Gareth.

PorkChopSter · 15/11/2011 09:51

Loved it last night.

annoyingdevil · 15/11/2011 10:23

I'll join! love him too (Is he straight, does anyone know?)

FruStefanLindman · 15/11/2011 10:34

he's married though - with baby now I think...

as said up-thread annoyingdevil

CrotchFlakes · 15/11/2011 10:43

Yes he has begat child. I had no idea.

CrotchFlakes · 15/11/2011 10:44

Obviously so has Elton John so that's not exactly definitive, but he is also married to the mother of the child Smile

Idontknowhowtohelpher · 15/11/2011 16:25

In the first programme lots of the women arrived at the choir recruitment bit with children and/or babies. Do you think that the BBC organised childcare to enable the women to rehearse and go and sing at their performances? Or did lots of friends and family rally round?

Sparklingbrook · 15/11/2011 16:35

I started this thread because I was fed up I missed the first ten minutes of the first one. I completely forgot it was even on yesterday. Hmm Off to look if it's on I player yet.

another Gareth fan here. have watched all his choir programmes and love his kindness, his bravery and the way he empowers those who see themselves as useless. Is he older than 12? should he be begatting children at his age?
I'll join the choir although I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket....however my secret weapon is DD2 who is lead soprano in the regional schools choir . Obviously she doesn't get her talent from me.

Fuzzywood · 15/11/2011 20:43

I luff him too, the episode last night was great, very moving may have cried just a little He was very sweet talking about his baby too bless.
Must remember to watch next week.

Sparklingbrook · 15/11/2011 20:48

I wonder if he has any bad points? He comes across as such a lovely man and he is so inspiring.

chickensaresafehere · 16/11/2011 11:07

Lots of love for Mr Malone here too Grin

Sparklingbrook · 16/11/2011 11:15

Watched Episode 2 on I player last night. I had a lump in my throat. Smile

He is such a Poppet. Can't we ask MNHQ if he would start an MN choir with us?
