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.............

Nanabilly - Jenny and Lee make me laugh so much, Lee got her back for the facepack dip with dog biscuits!!

I love the two 'nutty's -Giles and Mary. Their dog looks so like Mary!
Also Lee and Jenny seem to have such fun. I'm not keen on all the various families and twosomes but, overall, I always enjoy Gogglebox.

I didn't like Steph and Dom but was incredibly moved by the programme about their son. Goes to show you can't judge anyone by what you see on tv shows.

Urmstongran I so agree, I miss Steph and Dom!

I haven't watched it since Leon passed away as programmes aren't the same when a certain cast member isn't around.

I really miss Leon and June they where such a joy to watch just the way he shouted at the TV when he disagreed with someones comments had me in stitches.
The family with the attractive teenage daughters and pretty blonde mum and tall husband where not on the last one or I may have missed them I thought they where great.
Not keen on the gay couple who have just got married I thought it was better with his other partner they worked well imo.
Hopefully complaints will be made about Olivia and she will be dropped from the next series as there is no need for that language.

I saw a programme, not so very long ago, in which Steph and Dom were explaining the difficulties faced with their extremely epileptic son. Quite emotional.

Nanabilly Thu 11-Apr-19 09:01:46

Love Lee and Jenny they are so funny. Last time I watched it Led went to the fridge for dips for his crisps , sat down and tucked in and Jenny looked at what he was eating and screamed "you can't eat that it's my face pack "
His face was a picture !

I like Giles and Mary, Lee and June, David and Shirley.

Not the brother and sister, and the two sisters who seems to eat most of the time, can’t remember their names

BlueBelle Thu 11-Apr-19 06:28:49

Can’t stand Steph and Dom who thankfully haven’t been in it for a while, too busy earning more money from their ‘fame’ I quite like Steve (but think his new boyfriend is a bit drippy)
No i m like you Labaik I only dip in and out now I m not keen on many of the new families i think a lot of programmes go on too long

Labaik Thu 11-Apr-19 01:58:01

I really can't stand the gay guy who used to be on with his friend and then his mother and now his husband. He always laughs at his own 'jokes' which aren't at all funny. I do love Giles and Mary and Lee and June. The Siddiques are the best, though. Don't watch it as much as I used to, though; just sometimes hit upon it on catchup.

Urmstongran Fri 29-Mar-19 21:58:40

Oops! Jenny of course.

Urmstongran Fri 29-Mar-19 21:52:20

Steph & Dom are so funny Gonegirl and quite outspoken!

Gonegirl Fri 29-Mar-19 21:41:05

I like the posh couple best.

Urmstongran Fri 29-Mar-19 21:39:51

I agree MissA there is something lovely and cosy about watching Lee & June in their caravan. Comforting somehow, I don’t know why.

Gonegirl Fri 29-Mar-19 21:36:41

I can see what you mean phoenix. Spot on. grin

Urmstongran Fri 29-Mar-19 21:32:32

Leon & June definitely the best.

phoenix Fri 29-Mar-19 21:10:57

Who else thinks that the man in the family who always have cakes on the table has an expression like a bulldog licking piss off a stinging nettle?

MissAdventure Sat 23-Feb-19 10:08:15

Ah yes. Jenny; I think she is just so lovely!
She exudes warmth and compassion. smile

KatyK Sat 23-Feb-19 10:05:41

I agree re Giles MissA He seems to be acting.

KatyK Sat 23-Feb-19 10:04:57

Lee and Jennysmile

MissAdventure Sat 23-Feb-19 09:46:34

Oh, I missed it!
I love the two older ladies and Lee and June (?) in the caravan.
I must be the only person who doesn't like Giles.
I think he plays to the camera.

Auntieflo Sat 23-Feb-19 09:44:44

Ohhh!!! I recorded it last night, and usually watch it while having lunch on Saturdays. (I am a little bit addicted. Can you be a little bit addicted?). So haven’t seen the mouthy Olivia yet. DH will be appalled, and I will probably cringe. I suppose the programme makers look out for the controversial ones.
I love the Siddiques, the Welsh couple, Lee and ? in the caravan, why can’t I remember her name? Mary and Giles, and the family with the huge St Bernard dog. Are they still on?
Not keen on the brother and sister, the two Leeds? sisters, who scream too much.
Anyway, I shall watch later, and no doubt choke on my sandwich.

Nannylovesshopping Sat 23-Feb-19 09:44:27

Love gogglebox, but can’t stand the brother sister couple,
just so crude unnecessarily, also her laugh is so irritating, the Siddiques are my favourites, met the couple whose son George used to appear with them, they were so happy to chat, really nice people.

Oldwoman70 Sat 23-Feb-19 09:42:38

I have never watched this programme - yes I know lots of people enjoy it - but I can't understand the attraction of watching other people (strangers) watching TV!
