“IT IS amazing how quickly things can change in a life,” John O’Donohue explained. “For in­stance, you could be there of an evening up to your neck with things to do, and the phone rings and you are told that someone really close to you is suddenly at the door of death. “It takes three seconds to convey this information to you, and you put the phone back down, and you are already standing in a different world. That’s all it takes for everything to change.”

    The new series launches in Liverpool, where Gok has seven days to build a catwalk in the centre of town, present a body-shape masterclass to hundreds of local lasses and organise multiple makeovers.

    Four social workers who are too busy looking after other people to spend time on themselves get the Gok treatment. But they don't know they'll be unveiling their glamorous new style to thousands of Liverpudlians on Gok's catwalk.

    But that's not Gok's only challenge. His nemesis, designer diva Brix Smith-Start, is also in town to take part in the high street versus high-end catwalk face-off.

    For the first time, Gok is inviting members of the public backstage to share his tricks of the trade, as he proves you don't need to spend a fortune to look fabulous.

    Meanwhile, Brix travels the UK to source the very best British-made designer items. This week, she travels to South Shields to see how the classic Barbour jacket is made.

Gok Wan is back, and this time he's on the road. He has seven days in each town to build a catwalk, put on a show and make-over local women in the process. The show goes backstage and we find out Gok's tricks of the trade as he proves that you don't need a fortune to look fabulous.


Just plugging this because Little Sheila is the Producer Director hey hey

Gok's Clothes Roadshow starts Tuesday 25 January, 8pm on Channel 4.

You want to beat him to pulp?
What if he has a knife?
You take a knife
What if he has a gun?
You take a gun

What if you do beat him to pulp?
What will you sleep like?
What when his gang come around?
What will you carry in your belt?

Why do you want to beat him to pulp?
It is a feeling inside
It is a rage inside
It is not a thought
It is a release that you need.

Why not try to understand those feelings?
Why not understand them as signals?
Why not allow signals to consider thinking of options?
Options to release the rage.

We are responsible for our own actions
We can become response-able
Be better than only having one response.

Consider giving life to another - not death?
Consider choosing life for another, AND yourself
Consider love?
Instead of hate.

A woman died on the railway line after being hit by a train in the early hours of today.

It happened at the crossing where another woman died in similar circumstances just three weeks ago.

British Transport Police said the body was reported on the tracks at 5.45am. The line is currently closed while an investigation is carried out including door to door enquires in the area.

They say the victim is believed to be a 54-year-old local woman and the incident is currently being treated as unexplained.
