Channel 4. Now.
Unfortunate scheduling
You took the words outta my mouth
"surviving Gaza"
Thank God for Sky plus.... Its hard to watch. This may be an unpopular opinion, but its also hard to believe that she agreed for it to be broadcast for all the right reasons.
If he won't seek help after being begged by his children then he's on a road to nowhere. Sad waste. I personally think he's fucked and will be dead in a few years.

I have to say I wondered about that. I got the feeling that the programme was leading up to a big dramatic "intervention" moment the whole way through. Although to be fair, the woman has been through a hell of a lot so we shouldn't be too critical. You'd have to feel sorry for the youngest one as well - can't be healthy to have that sort of bitterness towards your father, however justified.

Yup...exactly right .....the documentary about de Valera and Churchill was much better...
What was the Churchill/Dev documentary called? I'd be interested in seeing that
watched the programme, my main analysis of it was
Bianca gascoigne wud get it!! :D
Harrowing show
It was pretty clear that Gazza has caused his family unreal heartache. The youngest son seems to have his head screwed on though (prob cause he is a bit of an Elton) & fair play to him.
Gazza is an alcoholic & but he is also psychologically fcuked up, what with all the famous people that a re calling him & him adding up the numbers on the cooker to make unlucky 13..................
BTW, I thought Bianca looked rough as fcuk in the show
Gazza has so many problems from last night show. He really is on the road to no town.
Felt sorry for the family, they seemed to have exhausted themselves in trying to help. The mason lad seemed very genuine and upset by it all. Think Bianca was in it for the camera, she never really has any thoughts on any of it. The young lad seemed totally disconnected from his father.
Sad viewing.
If the ex-wife and the daughter really want to cut the ties why don't they drop his name and stop using it for their own celebrity whore reasons?

Always been of the same opinion - don't understand how woman keep their famous ex spouse's name - Alex Best is another one.
it was a sorry show to watch, Gazza wont be round for much longer. A few comments...
1. How the f**k did he blag his way on to the tour ( cant remember the name of the band).
2. Cant belive the youngest is Gazzas biological son. He is so refined and well spoken. ( Also gay)
3. Bianca is a dogs dinner :D
4. Credit to his estranged wife, despite all the shit shes taken shes remained dignified.

Iron Maiden. They called Gazza's mother I think & said they were worried about him :o
I mean, when a band like Iron Maiden, who have seen a brave bit in their time are worried about you then you really are in the sh1t
When he is gone, but there be fivers bearing his face? Will his childhood home become a Graceland or "Bestland"? Will they rename the local airport in his honor?

:D
if it wasn't so tragic i'd be belly laughing at the thought.... iron maiden ringing yer ma to say they're worried about your drinking and lifestyle!
all right... i had a bit of a laugh anyhow
I wasnt laughing while watching it, but thinking about it now is funny as fcuk :D
Anyone watching the guy on Match of the Day 2 now? Looks a sorry state.
Hope no one is too offended by me bringing another soccer thread onto the front page :-X
Thinks he looks a lot better than he did before Christmas, but I think it is the talking/attempt to talk that makes him seem much worse.
It isnt really a stutter but more a slur, if you didnt know he was on the dry you would think he is half cut.
He was the same on Soccer AM on Saturday morning
Gazza looked like a fit 60 year old as opposed to a wasted 41 (or so) year old.
Shocking how he deteriorated so badly.
I see he was lifted last night for D&D in Newcastle, another much publicised fall off the wagon for him.
Poor old Gazza, I had the pleasure of seeing him many times in the late 80s as I lived about 2 mins from White Hart Lane and used to go every second week (5 quid in it was, changed times), the season before he signed for Lazio he was absolutely incredible.
Some of the stuff hes done since is indefencible but on a football field he was immense. Never the same after his injury to my mind
