I agree some of the programmes they have to watch now are pretty dire. We viewed from the first series and have always enjoyed it although it does seem to have become more scripted & staged. I wonder if the Malones ever actually eat any of those massive cakes that are always on their coffee table. Love the Siddiquis, they always seem very relaxed and natural.

I have watched it from day one. It is always good for a laugh but it seems that the programmes they watch and discuss have really gone down market in recent series. As mentioned above, some participants are a bit thick so they may have to accommodate them. Many of the programmes now I have never seen, not being interested in people displaying parts of their anatomy best kept hidden from TV cameras!

Jenny and Lee are my favourites I just wish they were real life partners as they seem so suited I believe her husband is somewhere in the background

Lee is gay and has had the same partner for 25 years...

I don’t watch it as religiously as I used to but when I do I still find it funny I m another Siddiqui family fan the dad looks a lovely man Mary and Giles make me laugh they seem so unsuited she treats him like a wayward son and I think he loves being treated as a wayward son

Not so keen on the brother and sister or the two gay hairdressers

And I absolutely detest the celebrity version

Does anybody know how many dogs the sisters Eliie and Izzie have now? Ellie had two Italian greyhounds, then she and Izzie both had a miniature dachshund and now Izzie seems to have a new Chihuahua puppy.

It was always one of my favourite programmes but just lately I find myself being bored with a lot of it. I am still watching because of the lovely Siddiqui family, the three black brothers, Jenny and Lee and Shirley and Dave. The brother and sister Peter and Sophie have a nice relationship but do too many staged things for the camera, so do Giles and Mary. I really missed Leon and June when Leon died, they were my absolute favourites and I also liked the Michael family, the parents had such a lovely relationship with their children, I was sad to hear that the father had passed away. Most of the newcomers aren’t interesting or funny except for the disabled man and his sister.

Don't worry Georgesgran. It's hard to believe anyone can be so ill informed about virtually everything!

Can I just apologies for the 2 girls from Durham. Please don’t think we’re all that thick!!?

I have always watched Gogglebox it can be hilarious one minute then have me in tears next. I like celebrity Gogglebox too Rylan and his mum are so funny.

I love Gogglebox. I've watched it from day one. There were some photos on the paper recently of Giles and Mary when they were young. They were a handsome couple. Mary was a model in her younger days. Giles is an accomplished artist with his own gallery and Mary writes for The Spectator. You may or may not be interested in these useless facts. I have too much time on my hands!

That’s very interesting thank you..

Shirley and Dave are the Welsh couple, they are funny. I also like the Siddiquis, the Dad has one of the naturally happiest faces I’ve seen, he looks like he spends his life smiling.

Thank you for jogging my sluggish Sunday brain, of course it’s Dave & Shirley.

The Siddiqi boys are very active in their local community.

Oh I love Gogglebox!

I quite like the young girls, who are not the sharpest tools in the box but seem to be nice. The brother and sister from Blackpool are good too - they look after each other. And another vote for the Siddiqis! The new Scottish couple are a bit bland.

Can't abide Mary and Giles though, sorry!

Whitewavemark2 do you mean Steph and Dom?

They were hilarious

Yes. Loved them.

We both love it, usually watch it a couple of days later, makes me cry with laughter.

Yes agree with all of the above.

I actually have never watched it until this winter, and have watched every episode gradually over the winter.

I also liked the couple who were always drunk, who lived in Sandwich.

Laugh out loud stuff, what glorious sense of humour some have.

Always makes me giggle, I love Giles & Mary, Jenny & Lee and the Welsh couple who’s names I have totally forgotten.

It's one of my favourite programmes. I do worry for the two young girls who seem amazingly stupid. For example the pregnant one asking what babies were fed apart from milk when baby food was being made on the apprentice!
Jenny and Lee are my favourites.

I am not watching the most recent series I am watching older ones and I must say my favourites are Lee and Jenny, they are hilarious also Mary and her husband (name escapes me)from the Cotswolds but I do find most of the families so funny and really does give me an emotional lift..?

Giles!! ?‍♀️?

Sadly the Malone’s dog Lucy died last week.
There was a photo on the Gogglebox site of Tom giving Lucy a last cuddle.

I find it the funniest programme on tv , way funnier than any comedy show.. It's the only show that literally has me laughing out loud at the contestants antics..

I watch it, but as I don't watch a lot of TV I often have no idea what they are talking about ?

I think it has got more and more scripted over the years, and get really irritated when they narrate the plot of films and dramas ('Oh look, he's got a gun! He's going to shoot that man because he murdered his wife at the beginning'), but as you all say, it often makes me laugh out loud.
