Gareth Gates documentary

[Canella]

Despite my feeling that it was an advert for the course he coaches on, I couldnt help being amazed at the difference in his speech and the speech of the people who took part in the documentary.
I had tears streaming down my face at the young father being able to read to his dc.
Lovely documentary.

I enjoyed it - he does a great job with the coaching and raising awareness. He has come along way from his pop idol days hasn't he?

I agree. He seems like a really inspirational man now. And the difference in his speech from Pop Idol till now is amazing. Saw the young father on This Morning yesterday & he was so pleased to be able to say to his girlfriend - "I love you". What a difference it must make to their whole lives.

I too was amazed by this show. I have a DC who stammers, nowhere near as bad as anyone in the programme, but I have been to several speech therapists etc with him so know a little about the subject. the results were fantastic. I suspect the effort and concentration required are a lot harder than was made out, even tho GG did mention that it wasn't easy and that he'd been on the course for 10 years. Impressive stuff

...would like to have seen this..

Can you give me details on channel/time/etc...

Thanks

It was on bbc3 on Monday - its on the bbc iplayer. Its called Stop my stutter (i think).

I watched this programme and thought it was nothing short of amazing how Gareth changed the lives of those students in just 4 days. A lot of hard work and dedication went into it both from Gareth and the students.

... I watched it too after being given the link/info (thank you) ...

V.V. impressed - great stuff and amazing... I remember him as a little grasshopper and the change/improvement was just incredible...

Go Gareth Go....
