No one watching Gordon Brown on Piers Morgan?

[MmeLindt]

Surely not?

no one?

Yes!

Not convinced on the 'Dashing good looks'

And can someone get Piers off this topic. I do not want to know about his sex life.

He's being alarmingly charming and likeable

'It was fairly obvious it should be me at that time' - TB being modest

I think he was dashing and good looking in his younger days. I also think that if TB had had half the success with women that GB did we would all know about it.

I suspect that if he had admitted to lobbing tea cups at Tony, he would have won a few more votes.

I'm not a fan but he is so dignified in the way he talks about his family and what they have been through.

I agree, Mollie. He is at his best when talking about his family. Much more approachable.

I also think he must be nicer than he appears to be married to someone has lovely as Sarah.

He's coming across really well I think. Unexpectedly so.

Yes, she seem so lovely. He owes her an engagement ring though.

I feel there has been so much hype over the last feew days over it I think I know word for word what is being said

Yes - I am watching and thinking he is coming across quite well (but still don't think I would vote for him!)

Kind of.

Just a shame that Piers Moron is on it too. He is the most piss-poor interviewer.
You can take the man out of the red-top....

oooh, trick question to see if he will bash TB

I suppose it appeals to the tabloid readers, whose votes GB desperately needs.

Came across very well and very sincere. No legacy plans, which is interesting. I think if you have gone through what he and Sarah have had to go through your priorities post-politics must be changed.

He came over really well (the people who know him well have always said what a nice bloke he is and that did come over in the interview, I think), but the interview was far too flimsy. Piers Moron is bloody awful, isn't he?

Shame really that he had the PM on and spent more time asking about what exactly went on at Uni parties, and the beach in Fife than about political issues.

He came across as rather charming.

I watched it for 10 minutes but Piers Morgan just makes me want to kick the TV in.

I have a great respect for Gordon and Sarah Brown. I suppose I feel an affinity with them and Gordon especially.

My first baby died, my 2nd child spent weeks in SCBU and two of my children have visual impairment. I suppose I feel for them as parents because I empathise with the experiences they have had. When Gordon was critised for his letter writing skills recently, it really irked me because the assumption was that he was lazy and careless and having had those assumptions made of my own children it angered me.

Gordon is a warm family man and if he had a fan club I would join (not saying I would join the Labour Party as a whole though!).

i'm watching it now, he's coming across as a likeable bloke so far.

i can't remember who it was that said it on here, maybe onebat or wonk or threadie, but someone made a great point about 'authenticity' being a really prized asset in a candidate, but how tv authenticity was actually by definition inauthentic and superficial.

so as that pundit said, blair was a great actor, he could fake authenticity but brown, being authentically authentic, cannae dae it. iykwim?

(although he's doing a not bad job here).

Yes. I agree with the authenticity problem that he has.

Someone just twitted Let Gordon be Gordon (in reference to West Wing)

ocht dear, they just showed that film of him talking about when his little girl was born. i remember being so happy for him, he just seemed tickled pink. it's terrible to see it now. i didn't see tears, though, tbh, was that the big display of emotion that all the columnists have spoken of? he seemed understandably choked, but not melodramatic.
