I don't know if anyone else watched this 3 parter on BBC 2 on Monday nights, but for me its been the best thing on telly this year.
The story of a choir put together with kids from a Northolt comprehensive to compete in the World Choir Games in China.
The kids started out as a bit of a shower, with attitude, but came together as a very passable Choir and the tears they shed at the end just goes to prove that teenagers have got hearts. I cried buckets.

I saw the first two episodes but missed the lastest one. Yeah, it was pretty good. I think it's repeated at something like midnight on Friday morning - I'll have to try and tape it.

Rats, it was Episode 1 all over again :(
So how did they do in the competition, and did the Kenyan lad Enock get to make the trip in the end?

How ironic to have an African called Enock/Enoch.

They didn't get through the first round unfortunately. But they were all so touched by the experience.
Two of the older lads had to re-audition at the last minute before they left for China and one of them got the boot. So, yes, Enock did get to go, which I was pleased about but I felt sorry for the other lad.
