Girls Aloud: Home Truths

[Steveweiser]

The GA documentary will be on ITV2 on Wednesday 12th October at 9pm, here's what's in it...

Cameras follow the girls both on and off stage during a whirlwind six months as they play their first national tour, release a summer single and record their third album. In between band engagements, Cheryl returns to Newcastle to collect her dream car, Sarah gives a guided tour of her native Stockport, Nicola goes camping with her family in Devon, Kimberley goes back to her old waitressing job and Nadine has the folks over from Ireland.

Can't wait for this, at least it won't be filled of slaggings off like Charlotte's will be.

Do you think they'll repeat it? I'd love to see it but I'm at college all week and wouldn't be home to see it. It sounds ace..

[gazbo]

There's a repeat on Sat 15th at midnight (or to put it in human terms, Friday night at midnight).

[Steveweiser]

That's probably the one I'll watch - England have a big game when this show's on first.

[Marco X]

Seen an ad for this yesterday. It went something along the lines of " do you want to see girls aloud laid bare". It showed clips of them on the set of LHS, opening their concert with the show, Cheryl driving in her new car and Nicola walking on a beach.

[gazbo]

Cheryl's excitedly squeaking "The roof comes off!" while examining her convertible made me love her even more.

Great, will try and catch that then.

[Steveweiser]

It's on tonight, can't wait to see it.

[1aloud]

Cant wait to see the show, should be wicked.
When i went to see Girls Aloud at the HMV signing for LHS, they interviewed me and my m8 in the que and two other ppl, so hopfully i will be on,

[Steveweiser]

Were you sent a release form? If you weren't, you won't be on.

[Steveweiser]

Quality programme, way better than Charlotte's.

[Jen]

They're coming across much better then Charlotte- are much more appreciative of their fans and their success, and so incredibly down to earth. I'm well excited about the new album now, although a big more focus on it would have been nice.

[Steveweiser]

I liked what I heard from the album, nice to hear they're taking risks on it again.

[gazbo]

Jesus, I love the lot of them. Even Sarah and Nadine who are traditionally the bottom of my list.

I'm intrigued by the new album based on those clips. I'll reserve judgment, but I can see some resemblance to the more "progressive" songs from WWTNS - one of the clips reminded me vaguely of Graffiti My Soul in vocal style, for example.

Am I pathetic for planning to watch this again on Friday?

[EDIT] And I still managed to flick over in time to see all of the goals on BBC1.

[flufff]

Balls. I thought this was on tomorrow night.

[gazbo]

Don't worry - you get another chance to watch it late on Friday, or if that's inconvenient it's also on Monday at a more respectable 20:00.

[Steveweiser]

Sarah was a comedy legend at times too, and I loved Kim's "Today I've come dressed as a cherry" quote.

[nickinoo]

I'm convinced that its virtually what you see is what you get with Girls Aloud. They're so nice and normal, but I think we knew that. Nice to see Cheryl and Sarah getting along, or do you think that was intentional? As if Nicola stayed in a caravan! Caravans do rock though. I liked Nadine's enthusiasm for the band's future at the end as well, it was reassuring.

[Snuff]

I was really impressed with it. The Girls came across as really smart, witty and down to earth. I liked Nicola on the beach. She came across really well. They were all very endearing. The little jokes they were having were great. I love Cheryl talking about how Sarah flirts with all the mechanics on the long hot summer shoot and Sarah said "Oh piss off" just as friends would. Nicola seemed REALLY enthusiastic about the album. It was great to see. I was quite pleased to see Nicola mentioning doing a big TV show as CD:UK and not TOTP. How times have changed.

[Steveweiser]

I think the CD:UK thing was more due to who was making the show, if that was on the BBC, I'm sure she'd have said TOTP. Though I do think the ratings are almost the same now since CD:UK's revamp.

[Jen]

Are you sure, I'd heard the cd:uk ratings had shot up.

[Rabbit Simpson]

I was enjoying the fact I know and have eaten in the restaurant Kim use to work in! Maybe she once served me.....

Yeah, since the revamp. They were only doing about 400k before.

You always did know all the best places

[Snuff]

I also loved Nadine talking about arse shots on CD:UK. Obviously referring to their first performance of 'The Show' on CD:UK.

[scandipop]

Will it be repeated a second time?

[James]

It's on now.

What remix of 'No Good Advice' are they using for the titles?

[butterflyboy]

What down to earth girls-was a pleasure to watch. Nadine needs to get a good meal down her though-her arms looked painfully thin-how i loved Sarah with her fish and chips! Thats my girl!

Ashley Cole is a bit person-less-rich-and-brilliant-than-me y for me but if he makes C'hell happy its good with me

Nicola seems quite outgoing and confident and much more talkative then she does normally

[butterflyboy]

Nadine's accent is still one of the most theoputic(sp)things to listen to FACT

[unidan82]

thank god for the monday repeat!!!
