songs of praise????
its just came on tv and first thing i did was turn it over
and made me think does anyone actually ever watch it????

I did when I was a child.

My Dad used to watch it.

hmm iv never known anyone watch it lol so some people do lol xx

We had been at my Dads and I went to change it over..till he said he watches it :(( oop's lol

Yes we watch it but mostly in the winter when we can't be in the garden. Used to like it better when they had proper hymns.

Yes, I am watching, or rather listening during the vegetable preparation for our dinner. (I am between potatoes and carrots and came for a nosey on here!)

I do enjoy hearing all the hymns - and yes, I do go to church sometimes, but not every week these days. Was brought up a good chapel girl.

Didn't it used to be on later though? I often seem to miss it these days because I get the time wrong. Yes I was brought up a chapel girl too Elisabeth!

Never watched it and I don't know anyone who does xx

i thought it was on earlier before i remebr it bign turned ovr when i was little to ol xxxx

I noticed the listing in the Radio Times.
One of the hymns mentioned there for today's programme always makes me a bit emotional, due to linked memories, so I decided not to watch.
I do sometimes view though.

I wouldn't laugh......if people enjoy it then fair play to them.

If I hear hymns I know the words to I'll often warble along too and I'm not the slightest bit religious lol xx

not gona laugh hun was just courious as to if people actually watched it

did a Jess someone introduce that years ago or was that another songs of praise that I remember

Oh goodness, am I the only one thats knows all the words and does a singalong at the top of my voice.... lord help the neighbours !!?
In spite of not having set foot in a church for decades !

My mother watches it religiously (forgive the pun) to the point where it's Sky plussed!

I used to like it when it was a church service, that doesn't seem to be the norm nowadays. I did enjoy the one filmed from St Martin in the Fields recently.

thats the guy Jess yates years and years ago

That was very enjoyable - I was singing along and the potatoes and carrots took no time at all with the singing along.

I should think many people regularly went to church or chapel, or Sunday School when they were small. I came from a very small hamlet, and was christened in the C of E church, as Dad was brought up C of E, though of Methodist parents. My Mum was Methodist and we didn't have a regular chapel. Believe it or not, we had our Methodist services in the waiting room of the little railway station! It wasn't a passenger line anymore, but the buildings were still there and the Station Master was a Methodist Lay Preacher, so he used the room.

That is something to add to the family history!

(This silly box is jumping again!!!)
