Wonderful rendition by Andfrea Bocelli of a one of my favourite songs by Elivis. 'Love me Tender' on Surprise Surprise <3

Cried my eyes out Prickly ! Reunions always get to me :-( :-(

Hope the brothers get many years together to make up for all the time they have been apart. :-)

My tear ducts got a good clean too!
Loved the fact that the brothers were not ashamed to blub.
Like you, Joeva, I hope they have many happy years together.

It was incredibly emotional to see those grown men holding hands and weeping like babies. I too hope they have many good years together altho I suppose with one in Australia there will be partings and long distance calls etc unless he decides to return to the UK. Seemed as tho the two older brothers were still single.

I love Andrea Bocelli but wasn't too keen on his rendition of Love Me Tender, it wasn't one of his best appearances.

So glad others like Surprise Surprise. It is one of my "Must Watch" programmes (alongside WDYTYA, Eggheads, Tipping Point and the football and F1). And I blub almost every week (last week not so good, I thought).

This week was lovely. The young chap (to me) who had had a serious stroke and had made a life for himself since was a true inspiration. And the early life of the youngest of the three brothers was quite remarkable - almost unbelievable. I know Shelsey Walsh (hill climbing) and had close friends who lived in next village (Shelsley Beauchamp) 30 years ago. Really beautiful area with the River Teme meandering through. The idea that families in that area should sleep outside under trees and get paid by the day (and starve if they got no work that day) sounds to me like 1855, not 1955 as it must have been :-0 :-0

I was very impressed by the chap who had a stroke and fought his way back to a good life. People like that are heroes, not these so called heroes who are football stars and such.

Best of luck to all those on Surprise Surprise who have done good things with their lives despite the difficulties.
