Looking great in pink and always so entertaining -the Aussies and Kiwis get him B-)

Aww yes Tess! So you were! :dance:

What did everyone think of the bit at Leeds where he asks the Doctor for a steroid injection and Josie (and Jonny) are trying to stop him having it? They try very hard but he's not going to listen. :(

I like that awards daily interview as it's written over the pond by someone who wouldn't havr grown up with RW. I especially like this bit -for all his vulnerability -RW has a back bone of steel and never gives up - I admire that about him very much. He is always trying to overcome his difficulties : When you see Williams as a young man returning to London on his triumphant ‘Close Encounters’ tour in 2006, he’s practically a shell of a man. He performs an entire set at Leeds under the weight of a panic attack, and barely makes it through the second night as well. In the moments you watch him perform, you can see the terror in his eyes, but you also see him not quit when every fiber of his being is begging him too. It’s really dramatic stuff, and in some not entirely healthy way, admirable too. “The show must go on” as they say.

The narrative of the documentary wanted to show that RW slit with Guy and then had the "disastrous" Rudebox album and a fall from grace. They missed out Intensive Care was in between and one of his biggest selling albums. It didn't fit the story. I also felt that they tried to make a very happy ending which is great for the documentary but a little bit unrealistic -but we know by Rob's Insta's that he is still feeling vulnerable with his mental health all the time. But i guess that doesn't fit the brief either.

Oh my goodness -that first UTR album is absolutely brilliant. Raver is amazing. I love All Climb On too and The Pilot B-)

I love hearing what Guy has to say. This part is interesting: did

Haha - love this review :D The amount of portaloos and denim apparel :lol: :lol: :lol: I think he'd like being described as a link between Elton John and Harry Styles B-)

I found the Guy article interesting - he's presenting his "truth" just as Rob has presented his. Most reminisces tally together. There are some different perspectives. We probably didn't know the extent of Rob's health issues in 2017. Different opinions matter -whether RW is happy with what Guy has to say - I don't know, but the story can't all come from one direction. As long as their friendship is still intact -that's all that matters to me. On another similar note, out of all the people Robbie said were contacting him with regards to the doc - I hope JW is one of them. :heart:

How many days is considered a commercial success please Nirvana?

Thanks for this Tess -thisis a great read

Loving the black outfit B-) Credit to: RW.MBE 2.0

Thanks for the links -it was interesting seeing all the countries that are watching the documentary. :) I can't see how he will be able to go any higher because no one in US is going to be watching as they don't know him there and he's off touring Australia/NZ now so no time for promo. Plenty of countries are watching though. Heartening to see both Canada and Mexico on the list. Well done to the Robster - I think he will be happy with that.

Finished part four and now am starting again to get more detail. Ayda comes across very well on the last episode - she's very articulate. They're a great match. The only other person I would like to have heard from was Guy. Enjoyed all his film from Jamaica. Agree with what others have said -quite a lot was jumped over -especially all the professional successes and awards of the last ten years. What struck me was - how he was/is surrounded by decent, nice people who were looking out for him and trying to help him even when he couldn't help himself. Overall enjoyable and a fascinating insight. We know from his recent Insta that he still battles with his mental health but he has his beautiful family behind him now.

Guy comes across as lovely as I hoped he would - I think he's gorgeous :wub: and Geri Haliwell too - RW definitely surrounds himself with nice people -which speaks volumes about him. *SPOILER* The bit where Josie was trying to dissuade Rob from having a steroid injection on the CE tour - she tried pretty hard and even Jonny did - but RW wasn't listening to either of them.

It's number one on Netflix in UK and seems to be doing well all over Europe and Australia but not US.

So I watched parts two and three today -very much enjoyed them especially part three about Close Encounters tour. I didn't learn anything new but the highlights for me were the Jonny bits from the CE video -which I remember watching many times back in the day - he describes Jonny as "he is my best friend" not "he was" so this gives me hope that they can resurrect their friendship. Other highlight was Theodora Rose - so lovely to see her -what a lovely down to earth, smart, pretty child she is. Will watch part four tomorrow and then will try to watch again over the coming days to see what bits I missed. ^_^

I haven't watched it yet -but Jonny did get a mention? https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news/celebs...mpaign=sharebar

Interesting interview with The Telegraph today https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/ent...cid=socialshare

Remember watching him at these Brit awards on TV. LOVED the look he had going on there :wub:

Yes agree about the ouch moment - I know which bit you mean and certainly if RW wanted to avoid the wrath of TT fans, they wouldn't have included that bit so to me that was an indication of how open he was going to be. We commented about the abortion being missed out but I liked that fact - I guess he didn't think it was his subject to discuss. After all he had never mentioned it and it only came out in Nicole's book didn't it so I liked that he had respected her and left it out. Agree about Teddy -isn't she a gorgeous little girl? As un show-bizzy as you can imagine. Won't say anymore now so everyone else can catch up next Wednesday :)
