Isn't Louis Michaels a handsome young man?

I want to add him to my collection of gorgeous teenage grandsons! grin

I'll adopt those two little dachund dogs!

I still find it amazing that the Tappers allow the filming of their large daughter lolling around sucking her thumb. She must be the target of a lot of mick taking. I know I'll be shouted at for being unkind but I genuinely think that this national exposure is risky for her.

Ana Sat 01-Oct-16 10:09:08

I think that every time I see her, Jane, but she doesn't seem short of self-confidence and if she can't manage to keep her thumb out of her mouth for the filming time it obviously doesn't bother her if people take the mick.

I can imagine her landing a left hook if anyone takes the mick. grin

Jane10 Sat 01-Oct-16 10:56:10

True. Looks like if she landed a left hook on you it'd stay landed too!

I always wonder how the Malones manage those four massive dogs and that other family with two huge dogs, one being a St Bernard. I wonder if they have large homes and gardens.

Jane10 Sat 01-Oct-16 12:09:51

I think the Malones must stun those dogs with food. There's always a plate of sticky buns or choccy biccys on that table in front of them.

I love the two, new ladies from Bristol. They are a hoot!

Jane10 Sat 01-Oct-16 16:14:25

Aren't they just AyjayF!

They're very entertaining. When that St Bernard plonked himself in front of his owner all you could see was the top of his head.

The Malone's dog, Dave is a real character.

Haven't warmed to the two ladies from Bristol yet, but what has the Welsh lady done to her eyebrows? Glad to see the two Sandys and June and Leon back this week.

Jane10 Sun 02-Oct-16 08:53:45

Yes I was worrying about Leon and June. Glad they're back.

Ana Sun 02-Oct-16 10:06:47

I thought it looked as though the Welsh lady had had some sort of face-lift!

Not keen on the three new young men, although we haven't really seen much of them yet. Time will tell.

merlotgran Sun 02-Oct-16 10:38:06

There's a new 'posh' family so I wonder if Steph and Dom have left?

It's not the same without them.

Ana Sun 02-Oct-16 10:41:09

No, they haven't been on for ages, have they?

Irma Sun 02-Oct-16 16:56:58

I love Gogglebox, the ladies from Bristol were better this week. I don't like the 2 young ladies very much, they should relax more. Steph and Dom had negative press about their B&B and seemed to disappear after that. I especially like the 2 best friends in the mobile home.

merlotgran Sun 02-Oct-16 18:12:25

Maybe Channel 4 has dropped them.

They might turn up later in the series though. They've been AWOL before.

Marelli Sun 02-Oct-16 18:17:55

I like them too, Irma! The expressions on the chap's face can be so comical grin.
Oh, and the family with all the dogs....there's always a big plate of cakes on the footstool - as well as the dad's feet!
Really like Gogglebox.

BlueBelle Sun 02-Oct-16 18:35:34

I can't stand Steph and Dom they get on everything they can to make more money I see the girl (can't remember her name ) sits with her mum and dad, was on first date the other night
I too really like the two 'platonic friends ' in the mobile home think she's very funny
Have you ever watched Googlesprogs that was good too ?

Irma Sun 02-Oct-16 20:47:41

Yes Marelli it's the chaps facial expressions that really make me laugh.

merlotgran Sun 02-Oct-16 20:53:08

The woman in the caravan is so daft she's lovely. She laughs at herself when she sees the look on his face. He does 'long suffering' very well.

phoenix Sun 02-Oct-16 20:53:45

Why does Mr Malone always have "that" face? Always looks disapproving, like a bulldog chewing a wasp? (That's the polite version, btw grin)

merlotgran Sun 02-Oct-16 20:54:01

Where's Rev Kate?

Eloethan Sun 02-Oct-16 23:54:43

I think I like all the people Gogglebox except for Steph and Dom - and I'm not keen on the new elderly ladies because their conversations seem so staged and unnatural to me.
