Not watched yet, but looking forward to seeing my recorded programme after seeing several good previews earlier in the week.

Looked like a really diverse mix, from those snippets.
Will watch later tonight.

I though it was brilliant Ann - he met some interesting and beautiful people on his travels. The song was good too.

At the end he meets the Queen with Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Gareth Malone - they show her some photographs of the trip around the world and play the record for her which she likes!!!

Morning Everyone
Absolutely bl****dy marvellous. One of the best things we have seen on the telly for a long while.
He is very gifted as has been said, to be able to put all those diverse sounds together to make a record. And our very own Gareth coming in at the end with his Military Wives Choir, absolutely brilliant.
I have listened to the record many times on the radio, but appreciate it 100% more, now I know what exactly went into it.
As it finished, I turned to the OH as he sipped his post prandial Sherry, with tears astreaming down his face, to say, 'I do not begrudge a penny of my licence fee to pay for programmes like this'.

WELL DONE THAT BOY, GARY BARLOW.

Only started watching at around 8.00 pm. Didn't even record it. What was I thinking of, it was brilliant. I so wish that I had watched from the beginning and/or recorded it.

Well worth a second (and third) viewing.

Now I need to educate myself to see if I can find it on some sort of "catch up" scheme.
I feel right useless in not knowing how to do this already.

Perhaps it will be rereated, or is that wishful thiking.

Well done to everyone involved in the making of the record and the tv programme.
I hop ethat all those involved living outside the UK get a chance to watch.
