Helen & Paul on TV together

[LEE]

I've just seen this on TalkBB (Sorry Nicki, but I knew you wouldn't mind if I nicked it :hugesmile:)

On Tuesday 19th February at 10 o'clock on the Living Channel there is an half hour documentary called 'The Wedding Planner'

Apparently it's a documentary series about getting married. The write up says..
Kim and Zoe Goodman organise the big day for a couple who have been engaged for four years. The theme of the wedding is 'fairy tale', featuring a cake in the shape of a Sleeping Beauty castle. Guests include Helen and Paul from 'Big Brother'
This will be the first time we have seen them together on TV since the 'Rich and Famous Interview', and what a show for them to choose.!! :shocked:

I think setting the video is definately called for. :thumbs:

[Janette]

Wow, what a scoop LEE!!!

I will definitely be watching Helen and Paul with baited breath :love:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Oh My God!

As I have already posted on TBB, horror of horrors I can't see or tape it.

I can feel another attack of emotional scarring coming on.

:shocked::bawling::bawling::shocked:

Plaintive little voice:

'Can someone help me and please please tape it for me?'

[Feefs]

I don't think I have Living either. :bawling:

However, that won't stop me being very happy for those lucky people that do. Honest, no bitter undertones or anything.

Is this a regular program, or is it really a documentary? What role will P&H play apart from guests, because that seems a bit daft. I hope they're on screen for more than a couple of seconds, but please, please, please, they have to be sat together don't they? And holding hands. Weddings make people feel romantic, so hopefully there'll be some nice gazing into each other's eyes captured. :love:

Let's hope it's a really good wedding and gives inspiration.:spin2:

[Janette]

I'll tape it so if anyone wants it, let me know :spin2:

[Kaz]

Feefs - I think it's a regular programme, rather than a one-off. According to the 'LivingTV website, it's on every morning that week at 10 a.m. However, their programme scheduler only covers the current week, so I can't find any other info. yet.

It will be fantastic to see Paul & Helen together again at last. What I'm not sure of is whether they're guests on the programme, or actually guests at the wedding which is being planned.

Time will tell!! Roll on 19th February. Will someone PLEEEEASE remind me to set my video?!!! :spin2:

:hello: :elephant: :colour: :elephant: :hello:

[WILDCHILD2K1]

Yup, this should be good to see - we havent seen these for a while. I didnt even see An Audience with Kylie so it will be double cool for me.:colour:

[Di2001]

Oh wicked!!

After the disappointment of New Year and them not appearing on Night Fever together, I hope this will lift my spirits. Will be great to see them on TV together. Can't wait. :love::love::love:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Sorry to be a damp sqib, but the supremely well-informed James has posted on UKTBB that he thinks it may be a fleeting glimpse of them as guests at Helen's friend Nicki's wedding in Wales last year.

Apparently the livingtv website mentions a Welsh wedding between a Daryll and Nicki.

[Feefs]

That doesn't bother me too much. The tv crew won't be able to help themselves from giving us a few close-ups. I wonder if they even knew they'd be guests before they turned up?

As it's a wedding of people that Helen at least knew well, it's going to be a much more moving experience for the lass. Hence, teary eyes, tissues and the need for a big cuddle. :love:

Helen will be amongst old friends, and Paul may be meeting some of them for the first time, so it should be interesting to watch. Could you imagine turning up at a wedding to discover that they were on the guest list? I bet there was a lot of nudging and whispering in that church even before the bridesmaids dresses were revealed.:wavey:

If it is that wedding, then it was in September, because I remember getting excited that I'd been to a wedding too. I also thought it must be serious if Helen was taking Paul to the wedding of an old friend.

You know, I think I'm more excited by this program now. We may get less in terms of quantity, but it has to better quality.:love::love:

Those of you with Living should perhaps watch for trailers. They're bound to take advantage of P&H in advertising it. :spin2:

[LEE]

I agree Feefs, I'm still looking forward to it even if it isn't going to be an official interview. I hope we do get more than just a fleeting glimpse, but it will still be good to see Helen with her Friends.

:elephant: :elephant: :elephant: :elephant: :elephant:

OK Feefs, I'm on the case! :thumbs:

You're right - it may be just a small glimpse of them together turning up for the wedding, but any sighting of them together is better than none!!

[Kaz]

Haven't seen a trailer for this programme yet, but just a gentle reminder to everybody that it's on tomorrow, 19th February at 10 a.m. on Living Channel.

Eyes peeled to see Helen & Paul together!! :hello: :dance: :hello:

[LEE]

Well remembered Kaz.

I'm setting the video now! :thumbs:

[chilledbootz]

I'm video plusing it. Stand by anything could happen!!!:mad:

[Kaz]

Just off to set the video now, before I go off to the land of nod! :thumbs:

This had better be worth it - I know it probably happened last year, but I can't wait to see Paul and Helen together again. Bless their cotton socks! :laugh:

[Feefs]

I hope you managed to capture something of interest. I'm waiting with bated breath for you to review your videos.

I'm slightly concerned this could be another Night Fever misinformation thingy we've got over-excited about, because I so no reference to it, or Helen's friends on the website. The show should of course focus on the couple actually getting married, but if they had any decent footage I'm sure they'd have at least mentioned 'familiar looking guests' on their website in a bid to promote the thing.:wavey:

[Kaz]

Trust me to be first - looks like it's down to me to give the in-depth report........... deep breath ...................

:hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:

It was no false alarm, Feefs - Helen and Paul were on the programme, together, and looking very happy and loved-up. :love:

Now for a summary of what we saw:

The main parts of the programme dealt with Helen's friend, Nicola and her fiance and little boy getting ready for the wedding. Helen was namedropped a couple of times at the beginning, and it was mentioned that Nicola had a celebrity friend who might be attending along with her boyfriend. Then, at the very end of part one, there was a shot of a couple (Paul with his back to the camera & Helen partly hidden behind him - but us avid fans would recognise them straight away!)

Part 2 of the programme began by saying that the celebrity friend had phoned to confirm she would be attending the wedding, and told you that it was Helen from Big Brother and her co-star Paul. Cut to a shot of H&P arriving at the church, having been spotted by several locals who were gathered round them looking for autographs and getting them to pose for photos. Helen was wearing her brown dress with the splits down the sleeves and had her hair up, and Paul was in a blue shirt and dark suit (no tie!).

There was then a brief shot of Helen in the church as the bride walked down the aisle. After the ceremony, as the couple walked back up the aisle, they passed Helen and Paul and we got another good shot of them cheering and clapping the happy couple (Helen's voice could be heard above everyone else's!!)

Then a shot of H&P arriving at the wedding reception to greet the bride and groom (Paul already swigging out of a bottle of beer), and then finally another shot of them sitting at the table enjoying their meal, and engaging in some eye contact (obviously still seeing the lights!!) :love:

Phew!! I think that's about it. We saw much more of our lovebirds than I thought we would - excellent! :hello: :dance: :hello:

No doubt I've forgotten something, but hopefully that's given you a flavour of the programme.

:elephant: :colour: :dance: :colour: :elephant:

:colour::bouncy::colour:

That sounds lovely Kaz. It must have been tricky for them to ensure their presence didn't overshadow the bride and groom, but it sounds like they did it very well. Us avid fans get to oggle them in their naturalish surroundings, and non-BB fans just wonder why that bloke isn't wearing a tie. :spin2:

I know it was filmed ages aoo, but they really have been in hiding too much for my liking, so your description has made my evening. I'm thrilled there was a bit of eye contact and light action especially to take us back. :love:

[LEE]

I've just watched it as well Kaz and I thought it was lovely. :spin2:

I think the first mention of our H was at the start of the programme when Nicki was asked where she first met her husband to be and she said 'I was dancing with my friend Helen and she whispered to me that there was this guy who kept staring at me'.

And did you notice how many times that Nicki said 'Oh My God' and described everything, including the Wedding Cake, as 'Lush'. Someone's influence there I think. :laugh:

And wasn't their little son just sooo cute as the page boy.

:flower:

[WILDCHILD2K1]

Dam, I missed this!!! Cheers for the write up Kaz! Sounded pretty good but important thing is Paul and Helen are still happy!!!!:love::laugh:

[chilledbootz]

Kaz you've done an excellent job summarising there. You covered everything. If that was me typing i'd still be here in the morning!!!

Paul looked gorgeous:love::love: He must've left his tie round my house

H was hysterical when she could be heard cheering in the church, wasn't she? Her friend Nicola seems really nice as well. She reminded me very much of H. It was funny when Nicola said that Paul would be doing his hair and H would be saying OH MY GOD. :elephant::::laugh:

[Kaz]

Well reminded, chilledbootz - I knew I'd forgotten something!!

There was a really funny bit when Helen's friend was talking about how Helen didn't want to spoil her big day by her & Paul drawing attention away. She described how Paul had said they would go into the church through the back door, wearing balaclavas! Nicola then said there was no way he would wear one of these 'cause it would spoil his hair. She then gestured like she was spiking up the front of her hair and said 'he's always doing that' and laughed. Bless 'im!! :love:

[Maggie]

Missed it :bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:
So thank you Kaz, it was great to read your post :thumbs: I bet it was lovley to see them together aw............:love:

Poor soul. At best they've met him a couple of times and already they're taking the p**s on tv. :blush:

I wonder if this SAS style entry to the church would involve any life-endangering stunts?
:colour::bouncy::colour:

Balaclavas! - now do we need some of them for Saturday?:dance:

[Di2001]

When I got home from work last night I had a quick scan at this programme which I had thankfully remembered to video!!

It was just so nice to see Paul and Helen together, in normal surroundings and not in the BB house. They definitely looked very relaxed and in love with one another.

Bless!! :love::love::love::love:

I very unexpectedly managed to get a glimpse of the prog whilst visiting my son. Could'nt really watch closely and had to feign indifference!

I was a bit upset that Mr Clarke went along the official handshake line-up at the start of the reception swigging from a bottle of beer. Bad form Paul! A little loutish, and exactly what my eldest would probably have done! I'm sure your mum would have been horrified.

Forcefully and swiftly pushing aside the 'mum' reactions............

He did look very gorgeous though in the tiny snippet that I saw.
(I would be more upset at not seeing much if I wasn't onto a promise!)

Oh, and Feefs,

Balaclavas! - now do we need some of them for Saturday?:dance:

I don't think we need balaclava's. I think we need to go for the full frontal assault. Lets face it, we are going to be a pretty noticeable group. Possibly a camoflage troop carrier might work.

I personally could not acheive total symbiosis with the surroundings. I am rubenesque in stature, and my anticipatory drooling may draw some attention................

It's exactly what my brother did at a wedding a couple of years ago. Needless to say my mother wasn't very impressed either. In many ways Mr Clarke and my brother are similar. Except my brother is a good few years older, yet somehow less mature. My brother even has a shirt like Paul's eviction one and has a history of near death experiences on his world travels, but these are thoughts that I too push out of my head.

I enjoyed the programme too. It was nice to see H&P together and you could certainly see why Nicola and helen were friends, couldn't you? It was nice to see them with Paul and Rhoda and Liz too. I wondered if Paul and Rhoda's daughter was one of the bridesmaids as their son was with them but she didn't seem to be and they were all looking at the bridesmaids when the wedding party left the church. I also agreed about Paul swigging beer out of a bottle during the line-up, my son would have done that definitely! Final observation, it was an expensive wedding wasn't it?
