I love Pete and his sister, both hilarious.
Giles & Mary are very funny too. Caravan friend's not for me, too obviously performative.

Love Google box, Matthew and Mary, Pete and Sophie, Amira and Iqua are ny favourites, its just a bit of lighthearted Friday night entertainment.

I was one of those "I don't understand how watching other people watch telly can be interesting" people but I gave it a go and actually I don't mind it. I'll watch it if I'm in the mood for something light.

I have absolutely no idea who any of them are though namewise so I can't tell you who I like and dislike

BlancheSaysYes · 20/04/2024 09:48

Jenny and Lee in the caravan
Leon and June sadly missed

MintyCedric · 20/04/2024 09:46

@RunningAwayToJoinTheCircus

Simon is my secret crush, I think he's lovely!

It’s not just me then 😁 he’s so funny and he and Jane have such a lovely sibling relationship.

WinchSparkle80 · 20/04/2024 09:23

Absolutely love it. Esp Giles and Mary and Pete and Sophie.

All great though, it’s a great concept.

Hands up, sincere apologies @Willmafrockfit and @mydogisthebest
Yes it does, you're right! 🙄 I need to have my eyeballs polished! 😁

Newestname002 · 20/04/2024 08:26

I really look forward to this show. My absolute favourites are the Siddiquis especially Daddy Siddiqui, but I also like siblings Simon and Jane, Stephen & Daniel and Lee & Jenny. I don't get the new arrivals mother & son but miss Marcus and "Big Mich". 🌹

Watched for years, my favourites were the posh couple who lived in the big house & we’re always drunk (years ago)

Dom and Steph! Apparently they used to rent their house out for swingers parties….

Willmafrockfit · 20/04/2024 08:21

quite often get ideas of what to watch from gogglebox
although sometimes things are given away and you wish you hadnt watched

35mph · 20/04/2024 08:12

Giles is so annoying, I don't know how she puts up with him. Get out there and do a day's work, man!

He writes columns in a magazine and is an amazing fine artist by trade.
He does his fair share of keeping the wolf from the door. Mary moaning about him not going out anywhere and not working is gentle ribbing.

Fizbosshoes · 20/04/2024 08:00

We've watched from the start and like pretty much all of them.
The Worthingtons we call the patterns because there's so much going on in terms of colours and patterns!
The only ones I don't warm to are the the mum and son (I think he's called Seb), the new couple where one is knitting, and the East London couple who always hold hands (Ronnie and .....) . I don't dislike them, I just don't find them as entertaining

MoonWoman69 · 20/04/2024 07:54

If you don't watch or dislike the programme, then why bother coming on a thread to comment, where people clearly do? I find that more pointless than the show!
Just skip past it, like you would when changing channels to avoid Gogglebox! Easy eh? 🙄

The OP asked if people watched it and who they liked or disliked.

I am just amazed that it is still going and that people watch it.

Willmafrockfit · 20/04/2024 07:57

I love all of them but if I had to pick favourites it would be pete and sophie in blackpool.
I really didn’t like leon, sorry to speak ill but he seemed to have an awful attitude to women and was not at all pleasant.

ASighMadeOfStone · 20/04/2024 07:51

It's my guilty pleasure. I love it.

My favourites are the Siddiquis who are just gentle and witty.

The ones I never got the point of are the Moffats. The parents in total thrall to Scarlet and never actually commented on any programme other than to agree with her, or the mother telling her "you did that" and the younger daughter trying to be Scarlett. The Dad looking on like he'd rather be elsewhere.

Willmafrockfit · 20/04/2024 07:50

i sometimes watch it
i like it
can't say a favourite,

mydogisthebest · 20/04/2024 07:48

I can't believe it is still going. Such a stupid pathetic show with stupid pathetic people in it especially that awful brother and sister.

No one watches tv screeching and making comments the whole time.

Notamum12345577 · 20/04/2024 07:48

Did you know Pete and Sophie are great niece and nephew to the Chuckle and Patten brothers?
