wasnt that brilliant,cant wait till the doggy one next week!
i thought woody did really well!

oh, missed it, did anyone tape it????
Karen.

I think they show it again very late, later on in the week.

I also enjoyed the catch up from the last series.  It certainly seems to have a life changing effect on those who take part, I particularly laughed at the story of the naval officer who became a drag queen!  He is brilliant.

Woody was good.  That was all filmed up the road from me!

Thanks, will try and remember to set the video this time.
Karen.

yes dont miss the doggy one next week! i might video that one anyway!

i didnt think the polo trainers helped him that much[ yes i know he wont help himself!!!!!], do you remeber david broome on the showjumping one? he was really 100% behind the girl & i think the polo trainers really seemed to almost give up! not help him too much with preparing for the interview etc.
did you notice prince harry looking at him when he turned up to watch that first match? i wonder if P.Harry watched it last night?

David Broome? Thought it was Tim Stockdale?

yes! opps sorry! it was along time ago!!!
ive met tim stockdale too!

Not quite sure if he would be flattered that you had mistaken him for an older bloke :D

Probably would be flattered to be compared to one of the all time "greats" in show jumping though!

thanks i feel guilty now!!!! tim if you are reading this im sorry!

Well if he is reading this, I have been feeling guilty for about the last 20 years - he loaned me a breast plate at a show ages ago, and I couldnt find him after our classes to return it, after that my 'other half' got so attatched to it I couldnt persuades him to let me return it, so spent years dodging around horse boxes awoiding Tim Stockdale!  So, Sorry Tim!

Whoops!

Oh is next weeks the Mary Rae one?  She told us about it recently, but of course didn't tell us the outcome.  What day is it on?

Yes mary, Kay Raven & mike Gatsby. tues 9pm Ch4. cant wait!!!!!!!

Tuesday at 9pm :)

The Radio Times for next week says its one with a singing Choir Girl!  So checked Channel 4's website and dog one is on February 17th.  Plus on there you can win a bottle of Vodka if you guess right whether he manages to do it and get pulled out the hat :D

Lesley

Guess what, I know!  Cant tell, though.

I know how he did with the showing but not the heel work to music

Repeat - e4 - 9pm tonight!!

It was one of the best so far. :)

What's the doggie one about?

Heelwork to music competition.

i think its going to look at obedience & showing aswell??????

They did some filming at our club's agility show at Longleat as Mary was competing there however by the time they are finished several hours normally ends up on the cutting room floor.  Mike Gadsby tutored the showing and lent a dog which came 4th I believe. 

Yes, covers Showing, obedience, Heelwork to music.  Filmed at various venues, including Birmingham in Sept.

Thanks people. One to watch!

Do you remember the 'Chef' Faking it? The chap in question, Ed, is actually a catering officer where I work. On the series they said his job was a burger flipper - which is true, but he only does this part time. I guess it made better telly to ignore the fact that he had already worked for many years in a busy catering department!

Saying that tho, I think Faking it is a quality programme, and it's great to watch a fly-on-the-wall effort that doesn't try to score cheap hits by rubbishing its subjects.

I thought woody did brilliantly, but the trainers were too hard on him! I've been riding for 2 years and i don't think i would ever be good enough to play polo like that. It is amazing to play polo after riding for a month, what exactly did they expect?! I felt a bit sorry for the people the judges thought were a fake. I think i'd be a bit upset if i had been playing polo for 7 years or so and people thought i had only been riding for a month, thats harsh!!
Can't wait for the mary ray one, i'll have to race back from agility to watch it though!

I think it will be fascinating, because hopefully vieweres will be able to see how clicker training really works and how it can help the dog understand the exact split second of wanted behaviour for the dancing.... :)

I'm all excited :D

I can't imagine learning to ride in 4 weeks - took me longer than that, esp. as i kept falling off at the canter as i was so surprised i was actuallydoing it LOL!
