In Treatment Wins UK DVD Review Of The Year!
Featured, Television — By Stella on December 9, 2009 at 1:54 AMThanks to a concerted and highly stage-managed effort by I.T. fans around the globe, the DVD of “In Treatment” was voted the number one viewer’s choice of 2009 on William Gallagher’s ever-popular podcast.
As part of the awards episode of the show, Byrneholics Lozzie and LHL were part of a three-way transatlantic conference call with William, and gave him their impassioned reasons for why they love the show.
Listen to it here. In addition, Lozzie won the competition prize draw! She asked that the money that would have been spent on buying her a prize be donated instead to Breast Cancer Care UK.
Congrats to Lozzie and LHL and many thanks to them for being such eloquent voices in support of In Treatment! And many thanks to William Gallagher for his patience during the Byrneholic IT Fan onslaught. I know I emailed him at least once…

I am very glad to hear that IT won the competition, and I must admit that I voted for IT too. Of course!
Great to hear that our Lozzie won the prize money, and even nicer to hear that she gave the money to Breast Cancer Care UK.
It is just in the the spirit of Gabriel, to give money to people that really need the attention and help from others.
William’s podcast was also featured on one of the blogs for a prominent trade newspaper – “The Stage and Television Today” – in an article that appeared yesterday.

I hope you don’t mind my commenting here but might this have been written by Stella? Yes, you emailed me and like so many other votes I was delighted and terribly impressed with your fervour and eloquence.
Thank you for that, thank you everybody: the poll has been immense fun to do for the last several years but this one got me the most striking and actually startling votes. All the most moving ones came in for In Treatment.
Your show won because of sheer ridiculous weight of numbers; I’ve not once seen the number 1 choice beat the number 2 by so very many votes. But the poll is not a top ten count of votes or some accounting of sales figures, it’s aimed at getting us ten tremendous DVDs to watch and you are more passionate about In Treatment than any other voters were about any other title.
I’d honestly thought I was a lone voice shouting about how tremendous the series is: I could not be more thrilled to discover that I was wrong.
And I think you’ll be as pleased as I am to learn that since the show I’ve had many listeners emailing to say they were buying the DVD.
Thank you all again: you made the podcast something special, it was superb talking to Lozzie and Linda like that, and the donation to Breast Cancer Care made me choke.
William
That was a lovely podcast, thank you. I can tell you, William already has a following of Gallagherettes amongst the Byrneholics!

Congratulations Mr.Gallagher for his kind letter
and for your work.
Congratulations Lozzie for your win and donation.
I am jumping for joy!!!

To have IT win the competition by “startling” number of votes and also + to have Mr. Gallagher comment on this page
Congrats Lozzie and it was very generous of you to donate the prize money..
Wow, this is all so cool. I have been out of touch a fair bit. Life gets too busy and I missed all this fun cause I got run down and sidetracked. Thanks to Mr Gallagher, and congrats to Lozzie, who works so tirelessly for all of us that love Gabriel so deeply.
Yow, I just listened to the podcast with Laura and Linda. Than You, Thank You for sharing. I agree with so much of what you both said.
Lozzie ur name is Laura??
It must be such a treat to your ears to hear Paul say “I love Laura”
