You would have live goggles if you agreed on the programme before. Not anything which needs concentration or translation.

Then you could post through the programme.
Not sure I could be bothered.

I absolutely agree, Brupen, they deserve all the help we can give them to rehabilitate, get better and find a way to make a living after their great service to our country. It was a lovely programme and I hope we get an update in the future. I cried almost all the way through!

I lost my son while he was in the RAF (not on active duty,rta) so I am always interested in anything that helps our troops. The programme was amazing and yes I was bawling my head off as well! I only hope the idea is taken up all across the country as these young men deserve all the support that can be mustered. I get very upset when I read of ex mIlitary who are homeless or suffering from p.t.s.d.

jings your two favourite Princes are on it too. The whole crew is so starstruck they down tools, it's quite amusing.

You missed an excellent programme, jingl. Can't you just watch him this once? The idea is that something similar happens in cities around the country to help homeless ex-servicemen, as well as those with problems living in their houses.
I thought you would have enjoyed it.

I partly had my tongue in my cheek when I suggested it ...!

I never thought of that jane but you're right. The TV section is the GN Gogglebox.

This whole TV section of GN is a Gogglebox. We can all chip in on the various threads about the different programmes or start one ourselves if there isn't already one. We've recently had a Downton, Eastenders and Gogglebox ones. All entertaining too!

I don't see how a Gogglebox thread would work. Even if someone starts talking about a different programme, you'll always get people wanting to have their say about the previous programme, etc. etc....

It would just end up a complete muddle!

I prefer separate threads with titles of the programme as the thread title. When I can't remember what a programme I'm searching for is called, I come to the tv forum and find it.

I didn't watch that programme. I can't stand Nick Knowles.

I cried buckets when the man with no legs and one arm cried into Nick Knowles' chest. That was the saddest thing I've seen for ages sad It was as though everything he had had to deal with came pouring out.

I do hope those houses don't develop serious problems from such a rushed job. Prince William was painting straight over wet plaster and believe me, after three months on a crash course in building your own gaff I know about these things. grin

pitt so did I.

The Gambian mum was so dignified ...and beautiful.

Pittcity Fri 23-Oct-15 11:10:30

I cried during both episodes.

Grannyknot Fri 23-Oct-15 11:02:51

When I say "they" I mean DIY SOS not the princes!

Grannyknot Fri 23-Oct-15 11:01:38

I was thinking, instead of multiple threads on what's on telly, we could have our very own Gransnet Gogglebox smile and discuss the week's programmes grin

Did anyone else watch and cry a river this week when that lovely Gambian family got their new house from Nick Knowles? It was in the Homes for Heroes special and great to see Wills and Harry pitching in doing some PR too. They're rebuilding an entire street of derelict houses in Manchester as homes for ex-soldiers.
