The Singing Estate

katex · 25-06-2006, 21:13

I am madly, deeply, unconditionally in love with Ivor Setterfield, the choirmaster attempting to put into shape a choir from a 'broken down' estate in Bristol, to sing at the Royal Albert Hall in a couple of weeks time a classical piece in tune and harmony.

This is top stuff .... their fights, tears, family problems and elation in hitting the correct notes is second to none.

Please watch this .. brilliant television and Ivor, oh Ivor ... you my pin-up from now on.

Sure I saw him at the Botany Bay roundabout couple of weeks ago, scarf an 'all .. nah, couldn't be, could it ??

A little over the top Cashy?

Although I consider you to be an attractive and gallant gentleman and more than a suitable suitor for the amiable and delightful Kate. I would suggest that the other bloke is far from appropriate.

My fair, if fickle Kate.

I protest at your expression of love for this chap. I understood that you where going to give me ago…..

Gentlemen, whilst I am flattered by your attentions, it's just the way Ivor waves his baton ... so sexy.

Seriously though, anybody interested in music cannot fail to enjoy this programme, if only to show how difficult it can be for people without a natural ear for the correct key can get there in the end.

I'll do it just for you Kate. I mean I'll watch the programme, not wave my baton about...

Ok I'm ready for you Ivor, half and hour to go on Channel 5. Steak and kidney with dumplings ready and carton of wine by my side, and newly applied Heather Shimmer Lipstick

Also half an hour of Corrie beforehand (if this bloody racing doesn't run over again).

Heaven on earth.

And Ivor, the grey pin-striped suit, love shoulders, phwoa. White shirt was a little suspect though.

Isn't talking to yourself the first sign of madness?
