Gogglebox - for the love of Giles

[numbers]

Watched a repeat last night with a classic Giles comment when Trevor Macdonald was interviewing a mafia grass.

"He's got killer's ear lobes Mary. See the way they are joined to his cheek. Classic psychopath ear lobes."

[siousxiesue]

New respect for Giles and Mary after the Brexit special, pure class. Made me lol many times.

Sadly not enough was heard from the Malone's (dog family)

[red devil]

I missed that, hope it's still on Catch-Up.

Filming for the new series starts in September...

It is RD-I watch most telly that way now. Did you ever get that dog!?

[Otta]

We enjoyed the brexit edition, made me laugh a lot. Except Mr UKIP and his really annoying wife and son (don't know where daughter was).

Excellent, will check it out.

No dog yet. I keep watching the Dog Rescuers prog, so probably only a matter of time before I succumb :)...

Ha same! Although I'm signed up to a Senior Staffy site so that's where I'll be going...watch this space

[red devil]

Gogglebox returns tonight, usual time and place...

[siousxiesue]

Where are the Malone's dogs ;-(

[red devil]

They're back, just don't think they have the run of the room like they used to, think they might have redecorated.

Not just the rooms, I've noticed quite a few of the viewees have changed physically...

[Alan Medic]

Never watched before until this series. I like it though maybe I don't know what I'm missing from previous series.

[Otta]

I like the three young black guys. They're new aren't they?

[siousxiesue]

The posho family are boring so far...and a bit thick, one of the daughters wanted to be microchipped in case she was 'stolen'

[tomskip]

I just can't stand the shrieking family from Brighton (with the UKIP dad). Why does the mum have to be so bloody loud? I ff through them, and I find the sisters from Liverpool a bit dull. Otherwise I like everyone, with the Siddiquis being my out and out favourites. Gogglebox seems to be the only programme I look out for on tv nowadays.

yeah I noticed that too, the welsh woman...she seems to have rapidly aged which is strange as I think (guessing) she has had some sort of facial surgery?! I was horrified when I first saw her on the recent series.

I think a few of the others have succumbed to the teeth-whitening, fake tan, identikit looks.

As for Giles, he's trying to hard to be alan bennett. Isn't he?

[red devil]

I think you could be right numbers. I've noticed, unlike the others, that he keeps making eye contact with the hidden camera, which might suggest he's deliberately playing up to it...

[Mick Mac]

I liked the reassurance that Giles pretended to seek from Nutty last week about his own limited success when compared to his brother, who was once the weak child of the family and now was very successful with "offices in the west end". Bless him.

hidden camera? I didn't know they had any.

yep I reckon there's an element of him playing up to cameras.

Haven't watched gogglebox from the beginning but since the time I have been watching it, I have noticed more of an element of 'awareness' of the cameras/their existing 'celebrity' from the participants. Inevitable, I suppose.

Quote of the week from the Giles and Mary house-talking about Mary's supposed 'chesty' problems...

'You've been overdoing it in London Mary'

'Well, you've been underdoing it in Wiltshire'

;-)

[siousxiesue]

Mary on the final of GBBO-

'I always want old people to win...they're going to be dead first'

[numbers]

giles' eating over the sink whilst naked comment was funny.

the dogs are back siousxiesue :) none are as chilled out as dave

[Sue]

Giles on Poldark: " He sets pulses racing, even though it's a second series" :))

[Henry_17]

Brunette Sis of Yorkshire: I would not want either one of my parents on a first date with me.

Blond Sis of Yorkshire: pensive pause

Blond Sis Of Yorshire: not with what happens on your first dates anywhey.

Edit, actually it seems in colour blind.

That was brilliant.

[Take Note]

Agree with all of the above - especially Giles and Mattie - (except i don't fancy either sister)

I want to be adopted by the Siddiqui family - they seem so lovely. The vicar was annoying beyond belief so glad she's gone. The 2 hairdressers are as hilarious as the UKIP-dad family are dull and irritating. (I reckon the mum has gin in that mug of hers). Def one of the best things on telly right now.
