Just popping in to say that judging by how many folk in my office are talking about it this morning, 'Losing It' was real water-cooler television. One colleague remembered that, years ago, she saw Griff in the street when he was doing the manic talking to himself thing, and found it slightly alarming.

Right, I would have to post after that wouldn't I *looks at Pols piece* *realises this is where she becomes the thick half* OK, first of all, fecking huge hugs for Griff. I don't really know where to start, the interviews were good, that big brother girl was clearly trying to come the sweet and innocent, but failing by the fact she was clearly getting heated. I look forward to seeing how the anti-anger methods work out. Especially the boxing as my sister does karate, and has a proper rage on her (of which an of her siblings, including myself, receive the raw end of), despite doing something that could be seen as a positive outlet.

The wonders of technology - now they'd just assume he was on Bluetooth!

Answering Ali, sorry! Buggered by the wonders of technology that time.
Not only hugs but huge respect - a brave programme to make IMHO particularly from someone whose public reputation has rested on being the intelligent and committed but fundamentally amiable face of culture, and one that I think will provoke a lot of thought and discussion. Top job.
(Thick half my arse, by the way, ladyj)

Very brave indeed, I couldn't name another star who'd do it, let alone have the cahoonies to be properly honest *insert massive round of applause*
You've no idea how I keep reading that Pol rofl

Don't be, this one's purly me skimming instead of reading.

Here's a fine review from Andrew Billen, which I shall also put on the site page but wanted to add here as it's brilliant. God, I've been a pretentious arse on this site today. I shall now go back to being a self-indulgent fangirl. Hasn't he got beautiful hands?

Saw it last night and thought it was pretty good. Great to see something like this is finally being recognised.

'Losing It' was excellent If you missed it, or if your recording equipment malfunctioned, it's available on BBC iPlayer

'Losing It' was real water-cooler television. It's quite a buzz here as well. Very hard to keep pace in reading alone what is being posted. I hope can return some time with a more competent comment than just: Hah! I knew it!Take care, all of you. Stay cool and calm!

I've put the link up to iPlayer on the Download page on the main site. Thanks for the reminder, chaps.
I've also put a hatful of reviews up on the Articles page, if anyone's interested in a look.
Hah! indeed...
