tegan re the gay friends, maybe the one's continuous farting put the other one off having him as a partner! Live farts on telly, who'd have thought.

I love it too - especially the Siddiquis and the gay couple. Also find it heartening that there are some nice funny normal families out there after all the terrible Benefit Street types of programme

I've just realised we're discussing people watching telly, who discuss people that they watch on telly, who at least are on the telly and not watching! ... grin

Am I the only one who wants to pop a cushion behind the Welsh man's neck? grin

I like the Siddiquis too, they have such a gentle way with each other. The German dad is very funny. Love the gay couple and the two "Sandys" from Brixton, I was trying to make out the blond one's "statement earrings" and I think they were Ghanain (sp?) (Well she was blond last week!)

They were together at one time (in the first series they were introduced as 'former partners').

Remember the ill fated Nigella Lawson lunchtime show? Interviewing people is one of the most difficult things to do on television; probably because those who can do it make it look so easy. The Siddiquis [sp] are my favourites [I'm sure they live close to me] and I'm growing to love the two friends who live in that trailer albeit thinking, at first how boring they were. And the new'ish couple who live in that gorgeous cottage envy have me in stitches. In fact, I think I love all of them. Am surprised that the gay guys aren't a couple though and one of them is engaged to someone else....I want them to be together sad.

I love Gogglebox too. Husband used to grumble about me watching it but now he chortles along with me. We have our favourites! wink Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine grin.

I recorded the "Steph and Dom" own chat show the other day and it was awful, they just can't hack it on their own show, nor are they entertaining enough for a whole hour.

I love Gogglebox and agree the celebrity ones are boring.

They're all so funny, which is highlighted by how unfunny the 'celebrities' are when they do it sometimes.

I love this programme. It makes me feel reassured that my reactions to some programmes aren't just me. Eg I loved the instinctive revulsion felt by all the households at Daniel O'Donnell's 'sexy' shimmy in Strictly.
