  1. Mr Gareth Paul Gates makes his film debut in 'Seeing Double' shoing on Five this evening at 7.20 - 9.00pm. From their website: S Club: Seeing Double (Film) Time - 19:20 - 21:00 (1 hour and 40 minutes long) When - Sunday 3rd September on five Light-hearted film starring members of the pop group S Club. When the band complains how tough life at the top is, they are replaced with clones and the fake band goes on a world tour, leaving the real pop stars to fend for themselves without the help of personal assistants and all the other accessories of fame. Director: Nigel Dick Starring: Tina Barrett, Jon Lee, Bradley Mcintosh, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt, Rachel Stevens (2003, PG, 3 Star) and from Amazon: S Club's Seeing Double will be best remembered as the film that marked the end of the band. Their demise wasn't caused by this film being particularly dire but rather their big-screen outing was the contractual glue, which kept the group together a little longer than they probably wished. Incorporating the standard pop movie themes--a control-freak manager, over-zealous fans and the stresses of living on the road--the film also makes the customary tongue-in-cheek references to the fragility of manufactured pop groups. Centred around the S Clubbers' shock discovery that clones of the band are touring America, the film tracks the six as they attempt to capture the impostors and their evil creator, Victor Clonemaster. Peppered with some of their greatest hits--including a musical-style version of "Don't Stop Movin'" performed in a prison--their back catalogue is surprisingly under used. As the group admit in the accompanying interviews, this film is no masterpiece. There are no glitzy special effects and the clones of the six are created by clever camera angles rather than anything more fancy. Like Spiceworld with its Tardis tour bus, all sense of reality and location gets lost during the film. Despite some establishing shots, it's difficult to work out where the action of the film is supposed to be taking place: is it Los Angeles, Barcelona or a set at Elstree? But the need to suspend all sense of reality adds to the fun of the film, and like a Children's Film and Television Foundation production from the 1970s, this turns out to be good, wholesome entertainment, which mixes adventure, fun and irony. But what the hell??? :super: Gaz is in it! 'Nuff said :wink: :hyper: :heart: :frantics: :cheer: :cool: :kiss:
  2. Seriously, does that bloke ever look anything less than 110% gorgeous??? Thanks for posting
  3. Walkatir did it with Photoshop here. She's very clever I'm sure it will
  4. Ooo! Where's Linds? She'll LOVE that! Looks like Walkatir's pic wasn't so far off the mark!
  5. World Vision's a charity, it's the '2006' bit and the post saying that the song is in competition with Israel that I can't understand / find anything on.
  6. So pleased you're finally sorted He's pretty yummy, isn't he?
  7. Hi gatesgal, It's me who PMd you - I look after the payment side of things I haven't received a cheque from Mr Taylor, I'm afraid, but yes - if you pop another cheque in the post we'll process your order as soon as we receive it
  8. Aww! I that black and white one - one of my all time favourites - he looks SO happy!
  9. Missing Gaz? So are we, and thanks to some brilliant teamwork by his fantastic fans we’re able to bring you … *drum roll* … a DVD of some of his best moments from his 2004 promotional tour of South East Asia. He’s looking hot and sounding amazing – which is more than can be said for some his fans – you’ll see what we mean The details are as follows:  The Enough of Me montage from the Asia CD  A concert from a shopping centre in Singapore plus signing session  Hightlights from two Taiwan Showcases  GTV Showcase Also - last minute additions.  Anyone of Us (Tank Special)  What My Heart Wants to Say (acoustic with Graham on guitar) The DVD can be viewed on your PC or TV and is, frankly, fabulous It should, however, be noted that these are "home-made" DVDs, made from home recorded clips, or from people's own video cameras. Therefore the quality may not be as good as you'd expect from a full professional production - but it's still very enjoyable to watch! If you’d like to order it at a cost of £5.00, please click here. We'll confirm your order back to you and give you details of what to do next - and we'll be sending them (and anything else you order) out, once payment is received, at the beginning of April. You can also order all of the previous CDs at a cost of £3.00 each and Body and Soul Pins at a cost of £1.50 each. The old threads about the CDs are here: Pop Idol and Acoustic WG&Z Tour and B Sides and 'Greatest Hits' - audio and video interviews and performances. As ever - feel free to consider any amount you owe as a minimum donation and add anything else you feel like donating to this excellent (and very small) charity. As all your monies will go in one cheque on behalf of Gareth's fans, they will be able to claim a further 28p in the pound through the Gift Aid scheme *Read more about Body & Soul and Gareth's involvement here.* Details of all previously offered CDs: Pop Idol - 36.07 mins FWW Yesterday Mack the Knife One of Us Arthur’s Theme My Girl Everything I Do Wake Me Up Before You Go Go AIP Evergreen UM You are Everything DLTSGDOM LAWR (PI Special) Whenever You Call (tv version of PI tour) Oh Look At Me Now (tour DVD version) Bonus tracks (gap - 20s) Can You Feel the Love Tonight.

  10. That is so kind of him. I hope it will give Anita a much needed boost - life must be so difficult at the moment.
  11. I'm so very sorry to hear that dreadful news. I never met Tracie, but knew of her illness and was always amazed at how cheerful her posts were in the face of such adversity. So glad she got to meet Gareth. A very, very brave young woman. My thoughts are with her family.
  12. We thought we'd take things down a notch from the fairly high-level stuff we've tackled over the last couple of weeks and take a look at smileys! They're generally popular and add lots to the boards. If you have a site you like, come and tell us all about it - in the meantime, if you've no idea what we're talking about, check out this site and we'll see you in IT & board Help around 7pm and we'll try and help you go from this: to this:
  13. How very true Lovely sentiment. It looks fab - thanks Rachel - and doesn't cover any links, for me
  14. Very nice - love the GPG script shading on that.
  15. Me too Mine are very dull by comparison to all these efforts - just keeping it simple, bit llike me :
  16. Loving all of these so far - you're all so clever. Agree that they're probably best without a photo, but all the same
  17. I adore that picture. Nothing to do with who the artist is, oh no Seriously, I love it - I love the colours, the design, everything. It's my desktop wallpaper at work Not tooooooo obvious Thanks for posting - you tend to think that people who have been fans for a while have seen everything, but of course threads get missed. Lovely to have it in here.
  18. Nice work Bex I was talking to someone at the weekend about joining the National Trust - I must be psychic Loving your work MTW
  19. Shellcool! How lovely to see you! I think Mary's point is a valid one. I hope that people will see the picture on the shelves and perhaps take more notice of him when they hear him with his new music - having a completely different (and perhaps more acceptable to them) picture in their mind from the "17 year old former choirboy" they were too embarassed to approve of in the past.
  20. You're more than welcome to take any/all of them over Val - unfortunately I can't post on there. Hasn't Isabel already done it though? Go ahead by all means if you think it's appropriate.
  21. Your wish is my command 200% And, for the greedy ones amongst you , 300% God, he's beautiful.
  22. Good grief! Are they feeling OK over there???? I swear we never had this many updates when he was around! But good on them and huge thanks I've done screen caps of the relevant bits: First up, the 'News': The new pic: And at 150%: And, finally, a slightly larger version of the calendar cover which will be replacing the smaller version, tiled, on my desktop as soon as I click 'Add Reply';)
