GoggleBox?

We've not seen the three brothers with very similar names recently. I presume they live in different homes, and so are isolating from one another.

Tremaine, Twaine and Tristan, according to Wikipedia.

Presumably the Siddiqui sons live together, as do Izzi and Ellie?

Izzy and Ellie do, I think. Can't imagine that the Siddiqi sons usually do, but they could have done like Jenny and Lee have done and moved in together before the lockdown.
 
Ellie and Izzi talk about their other halves all the time, and the brunette one has at least one kid by hers. It'd be fairly unusual to live with your sister and her boyfriend, although by no means wrong.
 
The brunette has a husband and two children I think and at least one of the Siddiqui brothers is married with children. I'm assuming they're counting filming Gogglebox as "going to work" and just making an attempt at 2m distancing.

Maybe it's an essential service, like WWE is in Florida.

I'm not sure they do.

And, I've noticed, they are sitting quite far apart from one another as opposed to usually being cheek to cheek.

Yeah, you're right.

It wouldn't be that unusual (or irresponsible) to move in with your sister for the duration, though. I assume that's what the Siddiqi without a kid has done - they seem the responsible types, and their Dad's not on it at the moment.
 
One of the best parts of corona gogglebox was Mary (of Giles and Mary) watching the Queen's VE day speech and saying "it was all nice before people got corrupted by the internet... and the Beatles."

Mary is apparently a former lady-in-waiting, which makes it more understandable that she really, really fucking loves the royal family, but it did also sound like some people I've met.

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.

It's a weird thing but gogglebox is literally the only TV show I watch now.
I've also stopped watching films but I have two film review shows on YouTube that I look forward to a lot.
I also don't watch the news but will watch the c19 newswipe at some point.
Theres a definite pattern there. I'm not sure what it means.
I actively dislike book and music reviews though.

I too love Dave. My friend had a rotti called Maggie (rip) and she was a legendary dog much missed. They're sweet faced things really, despite their rep.

The only rotties I've met have been total softies. Maybe there's some breeding going on there - they're so big and strong that they don't need to be tough and aggressive as well because they can defend themselves so easily if they want to, and although some horrible people would want really vicious rotties for guard dogs, the security people handling them would probably much prefer the ones who only look scary.

I wonder what Giles does/did. Mary said he'd retired at 21 and not done a day's work in his life.
 
Does she write for the Speccy because she's on Gogglebox, or was she already a hack?

We've not seen Marcus, Mica, Sachelle and Shuggy for a few weeks.
 
I've just realised it's Lee who lives in the caravan, and Jenny who visits (though they're living together at the moment and sharing hair dye and getting annoyed at each other in minor amusing ways). For some reason I assumed it was the other way round.
 
I was a bit disappointed they did a clips show last night, although they selected them well.

The celebrity version is back on next week.

Because that's what she thought "based on a true story" meant. Her sister (?) had to explain it to her.

I like the way they've helped to save the environment by buying stainless steel straws :D
I think they're just mates. Spotted one in my local Lidl ,so must live near by. She was very loud .
