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

Bombaybunty · 09/05/2015 21:54

The whole thing is very dull.

mrsdavidbowie · 09/05/2015 21:59

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

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2015 22:08

Was Jane Horrocks genuinely overcome or acting?

LavazzaLover · 09/05/2015 22:08

Im just taking in the other artists. Very moving.

balletgirlmum · 09/05/2015 22:09

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

Bombaybunty · 09/05/2015 22:09

I think she was moved and upset.

balletgirlmum · 09/05/2015 22:09

Agree about Chris Evans.

Dull BombayBunty?

Did you listen to that letter Jane Horrocks read?

HSMMaCM · 09/05/2015 22:10

I think she was really struggling with her emotions.

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2015 22:12

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

balletgirlmum · 09/05/2015 22:12

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 · 09/05/2015 22:13

Oh, it's Wolfie. Smile

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 · 09/05/2015 22:15

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 · 09/05/2015 22:15

The readings are good. The entertainers are very dull.

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2015 22:16

Chas and Dave again. Grin

Ludways · 09/05/2015 22:18

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 · 09/05/2015 22:19

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

Sparklingbrook · 09/05/2015 22:20

Chris Evans hair is a bit weird.

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

Hepzibar · 09/05/2015 22:22

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 · 09/05/2015 22:22

Urgh fucking Katherine Jenkins voice goes right through me

balletgirlmum · 09/05/2015 22:22

Love Alfie, hate KJ
