[bednobs]

[anneasquith]

The malones, love them .

[chrissa1]

The Malone’s mother’s face at the end was hysterical. :)

This may help, bednobs

I like most of the teams and some of the newer ones are growing on me after a sticky start. I do enjoy the Woerdenwebers, occasionally Viv comes up with a corker. My favourite team has to be Giles and Mary, even though I would have killed him by now ;)

I can't believe they're real people. Just good actors pretending to be really thick.

[Smowball]

Chrissa I said the same thing lol.

I like Lee and Jenny.

[Georgiesmum]

Jenny and Lee are my favourites, also Mary and Marina.

yeah keep your hair on
// ridiculous imho.// isnt an obvious and gratuitous insult - it is a well thought out opinion - given by a well respected member of AB

Manchester family with the two huge dogs who suddenly decide they need camera time

has the chauffeur who liked popping those bubble bags gone? when there was a fake signer at Mandela's funeral, his lad spotted it almost immediately. [Too many repeated signs that couldnt match the script]

siddiquis are good

no: I saw the promo lit for series one
volunteers had to agree to watch a phenomenal amount of teevee. something like over 15 h a week, month after month. I didnt apply

[Smowball]

Apparently they’re paid £500 per week.

I was unreasonably sniffy about gogglebox until I went to visit an elderly relative and watched it with her. I'm absolutely hooked now Mary.

I'm not sure who's who yet, and the variety of characters make it what it is. They're all amusing on different occaisions Mary.

[douglas9401]

Ellie and Izzie, mostly to make me feel better about my own eating habits.
The jug-eared ferret and his sister could go though.

[anneasquith]

Apparently £500 per Week? Got a link ?

[maggiebee]

Love Giles and Mary. Have read a little about them and they seem to be the most unlikely couple, but rub along well together. Can't stand Stephen and Daniel, just want to slap them both. Stephen was bad enough with Christopher and then his mum but now............

[anneasquith]

Is it the michaels family, mum, dad, adult children ? I couldn’t spend 30;minutes in that woman’s company without running far far away from her . ,!!!

[mallyh]

can't stand giles and mary .love jenny and lee the siddiquis the malones, infact all the rest .the old girls have me in hysterics especially as they were watching a programme about Miriam margoyles visiting a group who simulated orgasms and the old lady said are they having organisms lol x

[tamborine]

the Michaels. Dad is cypriot? & more knowlegable than me on politics - taught me a lot ;)

I like them all and am an avid fan; told me about GOThrones, Detective saga re H & lots more on missed tv progs.

[naomi24]

The man with the two big dogs swears too much – as does the Essex girl with blonde hair - and I don’t know his name, but that dopey boy with the long hair and the nasal voice who watches with his parents really irritates me. I like the rest of them. Lee and Jenny make me laugh, as do Marina and her friend, and Mary and Giles – although as someone else said, I’d have strangled Giles by now. He must be a nightmare to live with. The whole programme makes me laugh really.

Baldric

It was you who was being offensive, not bednobs.

[anotheoldgit]

/// According to the insider, each Gogglebox family receives £1,500 each month, to be split between them. In return they're obliged to spend 12 hours a week filming the show, in two six-hour stints. ///

/// On top of their earnings, each family also gets a takeaway meal provided for them during the filming sessions. ///

/// In 2014 reports claimed that the show's future was in jeopardy as the cast were displeased with their low wages - said to be £15 a night. ///

[bednobs]

thanks aog, i thought i'd gone into some weird alternative universe whereby the response i first typed out to baldric was showing (now that really was offensive). i wonder if baldric tells his wife off about her choice of program or calls her ridiculous?
