Indeed. Real human beings disgarded with untapped and ignored talents & skills. It resonates how truly f*cked up the situation is. Also Nice to see Imogen with the kids being all mumsy.
Also....not to buy into stereotypes or anything but blimey! Who'd have thought that gay guys can add "glamour" "swish" & "vavoom" anywhere!.....even a tent made out of rubbish!
I liked that too.

I don't think I have watched the show if I hadn't noticed Imogen was in it, but I'm glad I did. It's interesting and, in a strange way positive and life-affirming. It's horrendous to see all the wasted talent and potential, but at least it exists and people are trying to preserve it and to help it to flourish. It's amazing how resilient people can be even in terrible circumstances; and I don't think viewers are left in despair but instead thinking something can and should be done.

Also, there's much -- especially in this episode -- that's unexpected. The poet, the two gay guys and their glamour and vavoom, and also: I'd have thought that a place like Twilight would face the problem that too many wanted to get in, with too few places for them; instead, it's a struggle to persuade anyone to go, even for a brief period.

(I hope this post will make nagel's latest appear as well. )

They also must have balls of steel walking around dressed like that in an area like that.
They'd have been toast in some areas near to where i live, so once again i was surprised by what we saw in this excellent series.
The same with the guy who's into poetry A smart, sensitive soul trapped in what must be a nighmare for someone like him.:

Worth mentioning re Imogen and Africa:
Imogen went back to Africa with Aisleyne some weeks after that programme was made. This time with no cameras or press in tow. I think they made a visit to an orphanage (in The Gambia). Ash had already been out there at the orphanage a week or so earlier, anyway. Maybe the trip to SA inspired her to go back and offer some more help to deprived kids - and not just for publicity?
That will also serve as a link to Dixon's thread about the show.

Thanks!

I was going to skip that, since I don't like Ben that much, but if Imogen's involved, I'll give it a try.

You know I think you'll find that you like him a whole lot better when he is not in such a horrible situation - he'll be relaxed and in convivial company this time - so it should turn out better for him ...

After reading your post i had a look at his profile and saw that he visted the forum today.
Grooose, was usually well up to speed with any Imo info so i wonder why he's stopped posting?
There was another fm who strongly disliked Imogen, who used to pm me with all kind of stuff about her and Ash He he ran into trouble with someone on the forum who knew Imogen, and this fm got him banned so now i no longer get any of the juicy goss about our Welsh Lass.

Apparently he's been getting on famously with Imogen and with Bianca Gascoigne - he waxed positively rhapsodic about Bianca, saying how totally lovely she is - and it seems that they are going to remain firm friends ...

That wouldn't be Ugly Ducking would it? I was wondering were he popped off to as well.
Well at least Grooose is still about! I was getting worried about our No1 Imogen informer! Still this thread aint the same without Groooses little titbits of info!

OK folks, just before I depart for work hears a voice echoing down the ages, with a little titbit of info.

Back in June Imogen went to Marbella to shoot the photos (thanks Chelsea) for her own 2011 calendar. And it's now available to buy.

Imogen's a Calendar Girl

Thanks for the tip and that's very good to hear. I look forward to seeing it.

When someone finds out when the programme is actually due for transmission maybe they could post the detials on here.

Just time for another quick pbw (post before work).

Sounds like eXciting times for Imogen. She recently attended a casting for the new Xmen movie. Don't know for what, but it's nice to hear she's going for something a little different. And some of us were quite impressed with some of the raw acting talent she displayed in BB. So a talky part, or a just standing around looking beautiful part, (that'd be easy) good luck Imogen.

Also tonight I think, Imogen will be presenting an award at the London Lifestyle Awards. Good luck with that too, (And the choice of dress)

Hope it goes well for her.The chances of getting a part are slim must be slim though. Still, it's good to see Imogen trying something like that, because like you, and some some others i did think she displayed some raw acting talent the night of 'Scouse Chat'. I always thought she should have gone straight into acting classes after BB7.

Is this Imogen?

The picture doesn't look much like her.

Neither do those pics.

Despite your uncertanty over the photo (background or profile?), yep, that's Imogen. At the moment I think she's using some recent ones taken by friend, and photographer, Chelsea White. So you can blame her if you don't recognise Imogen!

Interesting news.

Some good memories of bb7 were surfacing when I read about it in Dixon's main forum thread: Imogen lands a roll in a new movie.

The film's going by the title of Senet. And I think Imogen starts shooting her stuff in the next week or so.

All aboard! Celebrity Coach Trip is on schedule to reach our screens from Monday Nov 8. On Channel 4, daily, at 5:30.

Gonna be nice seeing Imogen on tv again. No matter what stop she gets off at.

Having said that Imogen was, briefly, on tv a few nights ago. A channel Five documentary, Russell and Katy Get Married, re-used a few of the quotes Imogen gave for the Russell and Ross: What The...... doc on the Sachsgate saga. She should get royalties.
