    Neil and Christine Hamilton recreate famous movie scene

    Christine and Neil Hamilton got into the ‘”spirit” of movie classic Ghost to raise awareness of At the Movies, a movie-themed fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

    See the Hamiltons’ recreation of that famous scene

    Slight sense of humour failure from Tom Sutcliffe in the Independent here. :)

    That article has made me a bit angry. Who does “we” refer to?

    I thought the Independent was a serious newspaper? That whole article seems to have been written by a tabloid hack with several axes to grind!

    Re: Neil and Christine Hamilton recreate famous movie scene

    I don’t think journalists [and I use the word lightly] will ever be supportive or encouraging of anything associated with the Hamiltons :(

    Re: Neil and Christine Hamilton recreate famous movie scene

    Thank You to Christine for mentioning the MDC twice.

    But as so often on this type of show it could have been so much more and
    got lost in the celebrity gossip angle.

    The first mentions was when host Vanessa showed on screen the Ghost
    recreation photograph, with the joke “Is Neil naked?”. CH’s response was
    girlish giggles about the horrible photograph and sudden protestations
    that she had nothing to do with it, it was not her idea, it was just a charity
    thing, it was the people at the MDC it was their idea. Then off
    to more celebrity gossip.

    Vaneesa later said “You’re off on the Inca Trail ?”. Then Chritine did simply
    say one sentence that it was to raise money for the MDC. Then many
    sentences on the difficulties and privations that poor Christine was
    going to have to go through (in between luxury hotels I assume). Then
    more celebrity gossip of course (did enjoy her telling Jordan “I would
    rather be an old bag than a plastic bag”).

    In the final minute Vanessa asked CH about the Inca trail again and she ignored
    the question and continued talking to the person on her other side.

    Unfair of me to expect more I suppose but I wanted one sentence about
    Muscular Dystrophy or the noble work of the MDC.

    There was publicity though, two mentions of the MDC, thanks CH.

    Yes, it was a shame. It would have been good to see the item raising a bit more awareness of MD but that’s TV for you :roll:

    I am hoping there will be more publicity, celebs often do the rounds on chat shows. Good on her for doing it though :)

    I’m not so sure about MDC’s choice of ambassadors. Seems to me CH was more interested in self-promotion than promotion of MDC. If the Hamiltons are received so negatively by the media and CH has now compounded their views by not even delivering a simple message about MDC, maybe it’s time to nurture more positive ambassadors. I think the campaign deserves more than just any old media coverage and be grateful for it!

    The Miss England shots of her emulating the Oscars got a great deal of coverage [saw it on several online media sites]. They all just gave a one sentence mention of MDC.

    Had a bit of go at Christine earlier.

    Reading her diary, I am pleased she is helping
    the MDC so much. Sorry Christine.
    Well done Christine.

    Good to see Christine is wearing an MDC tshirt on TV this morning :) . She is on the panel on today’s Wright Stuff, Channel 5.

    Found someone who saw the Wright show.

    Yes she said all the right things, wore
    the MDC T shirt, made all the right points.

    Getting to like young Christine.
