I´m Mexican and had watched the series over cable tv this year. I do not ubderstand mahy of the arguments related to the British culture, but I have found this series very motivational. I cried when the little one was informed that he was going to China in place of the one that quit. Those children will never be damaged, they are strong. I only wish how can I get the film to show it to my children and pupils. Wonderful job.

Cograts on this excellent prog.It was interesting to see the interaction between Gareth & the “non-musical” students.It truly showed his expert ability to stir the music from their souls! Please can we have more.

this programme moved me to tears – to see the change in those boys and especially how music and gareth had touched their lives. if there is one thing that can change the problems in our schools then this programme has shown it can be done by music. thank you BBC and Gareth – please can we have more of this kind og thing – my favourite tv programmes in years have been the choirs

I attended Northolt High School in the 1980’s and was irritated by the way the programme was advertised. It is not true to say that the school has never had a choir. When I was there, it had a thriving music department. Pupils and staff took part in carol concerts – for example as a choir singing Handel’s halleluyah chorus. There were also shows such as ‘grease’ and ‘tell me on a sunday’. There was an orchestra, and pupils had individual lessons on a variety of musical instruments. There were music practice rooms. It is a shame that that this musical tradition was ignored in order to present a false picture of Northolt as a completely musically deprived inner city school.

Well done all of you in the choir and to the choirmaster
May I just say that many people are rejected on a programme called X
Factor and they get over it, pick themselves up and get on with life!
Thank you BBC2 for this show and thank you also for the next one on BBC2 on Friday 1st February 2008.

yep, sally martin is right! she rushed writing that paragraph a bit, but shes right. u know, its touching to see that someone like her, a 16 year old girl cares so much about the subject. and i was even lucky enough to be in china for these world championships, in wich she did nothing. but a couple of 19 year olds stole the show. i have seen this choir a few times before at concerts and what not, and sally martin, wel, she just seems 2 shy 4 me. but nevertheless, theres gash everywhere. which is definitely good. thanks, Edward beally (Sherwood)
