as soon as the credits rolled i felt i had come home !!!!
keep expecting sinead and mali to turn up.... do the beeb not appreciate how much we miss this fab programme ??????

I`ve been looking forward to this so much, and felt that little thrilled excited feeling as the music started, and seeing all the familiar faces (Kevin is as sexy as ever) Not too impressed with the singing standard so far though, but hey, who cares !! Its fun, its back, and I`m sooo glad

Oohhhh yes!! Fantastic stuff...the theme tune, the Academy, Cat & Pat and even the darned teachers! Mmmmm Kevin Even the Sneddon Clan!!

Spot the celeb as well eh?

Wow ... just how good is it to be back !!

Loving it ... makes me realise just how much I missed it.

Gonna try and get a couple of days off next week .....

I am soooooooooooooo going to enjoy this ... hope you all do too

Agree with you lot - like an old friend paying a visit.

*sigh* *sob* absolutely, just like fondly remembered old times.
Except the students are standing up for themselves against the teachers this time, and the whole thing has a distinctly louche feel that is rather more entertaining than I had expected.

Agree with you all. I've missed FA far more & for longer than I ever missed BB. My youngest son bought me the DVD for Xmas & I've watched it endlessly!
But I do wish that Sinead, Malachi & Lemar were there!

And Ainslie! Don't forget Ainslie! I saw him on TOTP tonight, I felt so proud!

Anyway, anyone see Jeremy Edwards in the audience? He just made the show for me. Does anyone know who he was suppoorting?

Is he the nurse from Casualty or Holby, if so he will be supporting Will and Kwame I would imagine

It felt a bit like having an long lost friend back

I agree with you all, I really really wish they would consider doing another season....

I was extremely dissapointed with the DVD they should have had at least 2 discs! The only redeeming feature was the Songs on it..

Btw if anyone would like a copy of the full 6 hours of the student reunion on CD - i'm the man to ask - now THAT really makes you realise how much you missed this!!

Ah late nights waiting for the stream to end, and early mornings when it begins - now I know the next 7 days will be great....and exhausting

On CD? Does that mean you can only hear the reunion? Oh well still better than the crappy two hours of it I have where you can hardly see or hear any Sinead or Malachi!

Nope it's video - plays using Windows Media Player

6hours worth of video - split into 2hr files I think...

Anyway you need the LATEST version of Windows Media Player - you can download it from Microsoft.

Back to nostaligia - Kevin's workout - omg how much I have missed that!!!

Going back even further than casualty/ holby city, Jeremy Edwards used to play Kurt Benson in Hollyoaks when it first began and Will Mellor played his friend Jambo so I reckon Jeremy is there to support Will.

Yeah loved it

Yes it reminded me of the good old days

The really weird thing for me was, watching the live stream, I felt like the teachers were the celebs - the ones I knew really well - and the 'celeb students' were just people who happened to be there for the teachers to teach. Very Odd!

I can totally relate to that - since they have been in there - I haven't even thought oh they are celebrities.....

I was shouting at john this morning for "not going low enough" in kevins class
