His complaints about his house made me laugh, there's no pictures on the wall and there's no curtains. WTF does he expect, i've seen a darn sight worse on this programme before.
Didn't show much action from the mean streets of longford either, probably as it not as bad as they expected.'"
..and it was Currans road just off gough ave. The pictures on the wall probably ran away.

| I hate the patronising fookers. If they were interested in anything else other than advertising their so called charitable nature they would just give charitably in private

| I wouldn't worry too much....I actually stumbled across the John Prescott 'Class' programme last night, and there were places on that show that made Longford look like a right treat!!...
Some coastal town in Essex (Can't recall its name) that looked like a scene from a Spaghetti western....

| the programmes point is to highlight areas in towns or cities that have economic and social problems,warrington is not immune to this as is any other place.i admire anybody who puts their hand in their pocket or devotes time to helping any charities and thought the secret millionaire himself was a top man who came out of poverty and is willing to put something back.
i did some volunteering work at the winter warmer day at the gateway centre yesterday and met graham from the long lane garden centre,a lovely man with learning difficulties who works at the centre,he was loving the fact that he'd been on the telly and was really proud of the garden centre,to see how happy the money that the centre got had made him and the others down there really did brighten my day and makes you realise that yes these programmes are there to attract viewers but they do a lot of good too.

so why not contribute in private like millions of other charitable people / the people who devote their entire life to charitable work?

and many of these people who appear in these programmes have been contributing in private before the programmes are even made.
if you understand how a charitable organisation is run or raises funds then programmes like this are brilliant not only in terms of the persons investment but also in raising awareness and attracting potential new sponsors to the charities shown,it's a win win situation.

Did you ever think that without a bit of mainstream media exposure, nobody would even know about a place like the Long Lane Garden Centre?
Bloody hell, a bit of niceness on the tele; a rich man gives some money to the poor. Sorry if it's not a celeb marriage break up or a crap singer taking his kids to Judo lessons!

I wasn't aware of Long Lane Garden Centre until this programme. I would say it is far more valuable than a sum of money from a generous individual.

The guy had become the Patron of the Charity that gave special days to terminally ill kids hadnt he?......so he'll still be involved in Charitable work long after the cameras have gone....... fair play to the Cockney chancer...

Correct and the same with the other charities. The exposure on TV will do wonders for them long term. I for one will be buying plants from this superb initiative from now on.
The programme, even though hard to watch at times, really makes count your blessings and think about others.
