Gogglebox

Another series of Gogglebox starts tonight at 10pm on Channel.

Return of the weekly TV review programme in which some of Britain's most opinionated and avid viewers comment on shows from the past seven days, from the comfort of their sofas. The first edition includes discussions on The X Factor, The Great British Bake Off and Educating Yorkshire, as well as recent news stories.

I stumbled across the first series by accident but it's actually very funny. Won't be to everyone's taste obviously.

The first series obviously had some good feedback as this second series has a 13 week run.

this program is really funny especially the posh couple who are always drunk.

Having never seen it before, I shamefully admit that it got a bunch of lols out of me.

swiftmetal · 26 Sep 2013 at 08:29

Indeed it is really funny.

They were funny but seemed to ham it up a bit, missus seems to think they've already been on that show where they visit each others B&Bs, can anyone confirm this?

Yes, they've been in something called Four In A bed apparently.

I've watched that 1st episode 4 times now. Doesn't get any less funny.

This programme never fails to crease me up.

Leon the old bloke is a legend. "We've been dogging haven't we?" "We have indeed."

Plus I think it was last week where they were watching 'Fried Chicken Shop' and she made a comment about how unhealthy the food was there, yet was sat on her couch eating the biggest Indian Take-Away between two people I think I've ever seen!

It is quite an amusing show though, its obviously similar to things like TV Burp where they are finding amusing things from the weeks television. Also acts as an interesting social commentary though on what people think of shows and people. Its pretty much what people are saying on Twitter, but televised.

I was joking with a friend about how it would be quite funny to film people watching the people on Googlebox and commenting on them. You could then keep going back layer by layer!

Been watching this tonight. I know it's a thread resurrection but what a brilliant show! Had us chuckling and relating tto them right through.

Cleisthenes · 17 Mar 2014 at 22:34

Can't stand it. Watched one of the first episodes and thought it was dire. I won't be watching again!

cuffylad · 18 Mar 2014 at 11:40

Never seen it, my mates rave about it so might give it a go!

tom113 · 18 Mar 2014 at 14:48

Find it hilarious, the German bloke is brilliant.

Deewon · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:36

LizardKing · 18 Mar 2014 at 15:50

I don't trust these fly on the wall programs any more , nearly all of them are faked.

these tend to get told to watch rubbish programs a lot as well
