BTW the whole show is repeated on the main ITV channel next Tuesday, maybe even more fans after that.
Well it's made my resolve not to buy it waver. Off to HMV later today!With any luck, that further exposure so soon after might push it from its current chart position to #1.
Comprising brothers Richard and Karen
Ironically, the easy availability of the Gold compilation actually stopped The Nation's Favourite compilation getting to No. 1 this week by diverting some of the sales.
It is interesting that Richard Carpenter, whose contributions to the programme were key, passes no comment on Please Mr. Postman's lofty achievement.

My limited recollection of Welsh lessons has enabled be to say hello, goodbye, that I either like or dislike coffee, ask if I can go to the toilet, and count to 10. I have a vague recollection the word for daft is twp. I think the word could be applied to ITV Wales' decision on this occasion.ITV Wales has decided not to transmit the show, instead we have The Fantastic Mr Dahl.
I do understand that Roald Dahl has a greater Welsh connection than Carpenters, but Wales is famous for being the land of song, and Carpenters should come first!My limited recollection of Welsh lessons has enabled be to say hello, goodbye, that I either like or dislike coffee, ask if I can go to the toilet, and count to 10.

Has this been posted to our Resource section? I'm wondering what mixes are on this set.
I have a feeling that Richard was asked for his comments on all the songs voted for ( plus perhaps some others ) without actually being told what their position was in the poll. He doesn't actually make any comment at all about of the songs being in their relevant position. Perhaps the poll hadn't even been finalised when he was interviewed.After seeing that Gold had resurfaced too, that thought also crossed my mind. What a shame.
However - and this may be key - the show is being broadcast again on ITV this coming Tuesday evening at 10.40pm, which means that the compilation stands a good chance of inching up to the #1 position next week, due to the sustained publicity push. Here's hoping.
That's because he doesn't believe it is their best. He's said before that it galls him to think this song made it ahead of tracks like Yesterday Once More as their biggest seller.
You may be right, I didn't think about it that way.

Look forward to your review and update to the resource site.Not yet. I'm still awaiting my copy for verification of the mixes. My early attempt at identifying them from online samples is on page 5 of this thread, but I can't trust online samples well enough to add to the Resource.
I hope ITV repeat this show as soon as possible and hopefuuly more people will see it and then buy the cd and catapult the Carpenters into no 1 position where they belongNicky Chinn and Paul Gambaccini did say in the show that UK loved the Carpenters from day 1, nothing changed.
