GoggleBox?

I love gogglebox but(and i think i said it before) it has scenes, e.g where it's the 6 oclock news and it's pitch black outside while I'm sat out with my top off, that I question the veracity.

Much of the witty repartee, especially the blackpool brother and sister, is so fake it's almost cringe worthy.

I think they get sent a package of stuff to watch by the producers, rather than do it live.

It sounded like Jenny has moved into Lee's, or vice versa. Either way, good move, because otherwise they presumably wouldn't be able to see one another.

We've not seen Mary and Marina (the two old women in Bristol) for a few weeks. I hope they're OK, because they can be gold.

Jenny and Lee have definitely been using the same silver hair dye. The internet (The Sun, so I'm not linking) says they're living together temporarily. The Siddiqis are conspicuously missing their lovely Dad and even sitting in positions that show him not there. Not sure what happened with the girl who lives with her brother, because he was suddenly replaced by her boyfriend. And then the brother came back.

I like Gogglebox, OK? Don't shame me!

It's a ridiculous show that I thought I'd hate, but can't help enjoying. It's relatable as it's something lots of us do. Also that old timer Leon who passed away reminded me of someone I used to support and he was so sweet.
 
I've said it before on this thread I think, but Stephen from Brighton needs to ditch his husband and get his mum back on it.

Really? I thought she was a bit pointless. Never really said much just hung off her sons every word. I miss the original friend/partner. They were really good together
 
Gogglebox is the absolute highlight of my week at the moment. I often don't know the programmes being discussed, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

I love Dave the Mancunian dog.

There are two dogs there, but strangely only Dave ever gets cited by name.

At one point there were at least 4 Rotties. :eek:
I don't know if some of them have died/gone to the farm or they just only allow 1 (occasionally 2) of them access to the living room now.
 
I have probably said both these points before but it is a programme format that seems like unwatchable bullshit in theory.
In reality it is incredibly watchable and engaging and I really look forward to it :)

But, if you are invested in following a programme that they might feature (which could potentially be anything now) you have to be really careful about being caught up before you watch Gogglebox coz I have nearly had the crux of a drama or the bake off final (eg) ruined by watching Gogglebox before I am up to date .
 
I hope that Welsh couple, Dave and Shirley are on it tonight. They are so comical and always seem so delighted with each other.
You watch, they'll probably have a fight tonight.

I've never watched Killing Eve or The Nest, but I got the general narrative of both watching Gogglebox.
