Oh No!! They were my favourite Gogglebox family.

Although I have watched this from the start and thoroughly enjoyed it, I have been wondering whether it is beginning to run its course and not be able to sustain another series without becoming too predictable. The only other reality show is watch is Strictly.

I often wonder what the 'celebrities' think if they watch it. Someone (usually Leon) says ' I can't stand him' or 'he/she is rubbish/talentless etc'.
Comments me and DH are always coming out with!

DH is very outspoken in his criticism where the telly is concerned. I often think, Thank God we're not on Gogglebox!

Noooo. I have both a lack of imagination. And a lack of a sense of humour.

Does anyone watch a tv programme and secretly fantasise that they're being filmed for Gogglebox [ie try to think of witty things to say about it]?

We don't watch any reality either, but as you say Gogglebox is different.

I don't like reality TV shows usually. I don't even watch TGBBO! Maybe sometimes a bit of Ben Fogle... But Gogglebox is different, it's genuinely funny

I will happily admit to no taste! I really dont care! I gave up on having pride years ago.

Grannyknot - They have changed it slightly from everyone just watching TV and commenting and added a few things like Leon shouting from the kitchen to June, when she is reading the paper (ie not watching the TV at all) and everyone looks a bit smarter. I still like it though and most of the characters

Oh I'm so glad you all like it. I really enjoy it. But was afraid it might be like admitting that I enjoy big brother. Lots of my friends and colleagues just think I've got no taste.

Oh yes - and she's such a daddy's girl, isn't she?

DD says that one of the reasons she likes Gogglebox is that everyone is nice to eachother.

I think she has a point. We see so many fictional families being utterly vile that it's quite heartwarming to spend an hour with people like the Siddiquis, (so polite) Steph and Dom, Leo and June and the Tappers - even though I think their daughter really ought to take her thumb out of her mouth and sit up straight

That's the chap merlot ! Never utters a word!

I thoroughly enjoy Gogglebox, although usually I avoid reality tv like the plague. There was an entertaining article in the Telegraph when Judith Woods went to meet Steph and Dom, they clearly adore each other.

This is the first year I have seen it. And only started watching because one of my children likes it.
I couldnt get into it at first, as I couldnt get used to the idea of us watching tv watching others watching tv. [I realise that that is probably not an original thought!]

I can't beleve that Sandy and Sandra are only 4 years apart age wise; I always thought of the chubby one as being much, much older. I do love them though.

Katy I agree it's less spontaneous.

I love wide eyed Scarlett Moffatt and some of the comical things she says

The funniest "Steph and Dom moment" was one night when he got up to fetch more drinks and slowly sank to his knees and disappeared behind the couch. She said "What are you doing?" He replied "I'm going down in the lift". Funnier visually, but yes he was plastered!

I LOVE Gogglebox although I think this series is a bit more contrived than the previous ones. I suppose they have to try to keep it fresh.

phoenix, He's the German man's daughter's boyfriend. He never says a word and has had his hair cut since the last series.

They're all here

PS Don't let Pedant's Corner see this article

I'm not sure that that family are still in it; either that or the son doesn't appear. I did get him mixed up with Louis .

Does anyone else wonder when the son of one of the families is actually going to say something? I've never heard him say one single word!

I love Leon and June particularly when June rolls her eyes and give a big sigh when Leon is saying something deliberately provocative and he kjust sits there smiling.

I love Gogglebox. Both DDs say DH and I are just like Leon and June! I sort of agree.

I like the two gay guys in Brighton, I know they swear a lot, but the one with the glasses is really funny. I also think the Geordie girl, is very witty and amusing, although a tad too orange. The three Asian men make the most interesting comments without obscenities. I like Steph and Dom too, although he always appears to be a bit pissed to me. I think I remember they were once on "Four in a Bed" featuring their wonderful house.
