Also loved Mary's comment about not using 2nd class stamps, because it looks mean and Giles' riposte to that.

Very sorry when Leon died, he and June were favourites of mine. Also like the other June, I think that's her name, and best friend Lee (caravan)

I haven’t started the new series I liked Scarlett when she first started but as time went by she got more and more up her.....
I used to like Léon and June, the Sddigues seem a lovely family and the two old ladies are funny sometimes, Mary and Giles are very droll, also the very funny lady whose name has jumped out of my mind in the caravan with her gay best friend not very keen on any of the others The family with the big dogs make me feel ill when they are drooling round biscuits and can’t take to the rather large hairy family or the brother and sister
Do you think it’s filmed all in one go and I wonder how much is scripted ?

Mary was very cross about the shirts!

Mary and Giles, just love them and the Siddique family, who unlike some of the others come across as well informed and well read, plenty of witty asides with both the former and the latter. I'm not keen on the brother and sister they get too much airtime imo, they often make nasty comments and aren't very interesting or funny. Think the Leeds sisters don't add a lot either. Glad Scarlett Moffet departed, her father, who seemed far more informed, was always explaining the most elementary things to her, whilst she wore a puzzled/baffled expression, in spite of telling the public she was super bright. Time will tell with Olivia, she is certainly foul mouthed and I suspect a bit ignorant, but she did raise a laugh when her mother was explaining something or other addressing her by her name "Olivia" and she said "who's Olivia?" Haven't explained that very well, it needs to be in context to appreciate it. Don't think you will like her Annie grin too sweary.

I shall watch it today, ?

Do the production crew 'advise' them on some of the really really dim comments ?

Mary did make me laugh when she told Giles that if he ever told her he wanted to be a woman, she’d just think he was attention-seeking as usual. He’d said he’d thought about it once “for about a week”. smile

I agree. It made me cringe.

Yes, Annie, Mary and Giles are back!

I love Gogglebox but Olivia's language was a bit choice.

Anniebach Fri 22-Feb-19 22:53:04

I didn’t know it was back, hope Giles are Mary are still on it.

Evening all, I know this programme isn't to everyone's taste, but must admit to sort of enjoying being a habitual watcher of it!

However, I'm finding Olivia (one of the daughters of a new family of viewers) a bit.............
