I love all of the families on googlebox. I am sometimes a bit shocked when Louis swears at them, but it's all taken in good spirit and you can tell they have a really good relationship.

I like the screechy mum too, as I think i'll end up a bit like that. It makes me laugh how she over reacts to loads of stuff.

I know it's set up for the cameras, but I like to see the families all sitting down and watching the tv together rather than what we see a lot of the time where kids are alone in their bedrooms on games consoles or on the internet.

Excuse they show the weeks tv out of sync, so I think that George guy might have had his cast off at some point throughout the week and that's why the cast was off in some shots, but then back on again later in the show.

Posh Drunk Couple are hilarious I loved it the week they were watching Made in Chelsea Steph said do we sound like that well yes love you do Grin

I think \I am a little bit screechy mum when watching tv if they are all commenting on stuff or bickering i schreech like a banshee at them to shut up Blush

KrabbyPatty · 30/11/2013 13:24

I love that Leon and June are now on Twitter & have 36.5k followers.

BoJolly · 30/11/2013 13:30

Weren't Posh Drunk Couple on "Four in a Bed"?

They're home is stunning and they are not a bit stuck up.

I love them Smile

BoJolly · 30/11/2013 13:30

Their & they're mixed up Blush

mrsjay · 30/11/2013 13:31

yes they were on 4 in a bed their hotel is called the salutations and it is really posh as you would expect, I think they have staff though dont fancy them making my breakfast if they are hungover

mrsjay · 30/11/2013 13:32

I saw their episodes again last week or the week before on more4 they are genuinely lovely

BoJolly · 30/11/2013 13:32

That's the one mrsjay. They didn't get out of bed to make breakfast for their guests Grin

I loved how the teenage girl was so in love with One Direction this week. She was swooning. We've all been there, but it was so sweet.

I love this programme so much. DS1(18) and I always watch it twice, because we miss things the first time round. DH is away until January so I am keeping it on my Sky planner until he gets back.

I really hope they do a Christmas one.

mrsjay · 30/11/2013 13:35

probably still hanging Bo Grin

ovenchips · 30/11/2013 14:03

I love it too.

Though I do worry they won't be able to make any more series half as good, as the people who apply to go on it will be wannabes with increasingly outrageous antics. Bit like Come Dine With Me (though admittedly was never as good as Gogglebox) and Big Brother (I enjoyed the first one but that is it).

Is there bountiful amounts of champers on big brother, along with bucket fulls of gin then?

BlingBang · 30/11/2013 20:40

It's entertaining but think it always seems overplayed and folk are just mugging up to the cameras.

Leon and June are the best

squoosh · 30/11/2013 22:11

'It's the boy (boyfriend) with the hair that makes me laugh! He nevere says anything, just sits there watching with his mouth open and his hair like a dandelion.' Grin Grin

Why won't he speak????

Maybe he's a ghost that only we can see. A dandelion haired ghost.

WaffilyVersatile · 30/11/2013 22:18

www.the-salutation.com/ is the one steph and dom run/own

squoosh · 30/11/2013 22:18

I think Louis' Mum was being annoying by prattling on but I also think Louis was so rude. I would never have got away with that behaviour! Even now. And she did as he asked and just shut up! Still, different families, different dynamics I suppose.

Adore June and Leon
And Steph and Dom (couldn't believe he's only 48!!)
And the mother/father/son who live in Clacton.
And the Siddiqui family sons are hilarious too, so deadpan.

Meerkatwhiskers · 30/11/2013 23:18

Love gogglebox too! Don't think Louis was being rude. His mum was being annoying and his dad did back him up 'they are on gallifrey!!!' Lol.

Also love Steph and dom and the dachshund that never wakes up.

And the couple from Brighton.

And the legends that are June and Leon. They so remind me of my nan and grandad watching tv together.

WaffilyVersatile · 30/11/2013 23:21

The guys in Brighton aren't a couple! Steve and chris are mates

seasalt · 30/11/2013 23:25

I really like Louis, he makes the best faces and is very funny. His swearing doesn't bother me.

Mia4 · 30/11/2013 23:31

I haven't seen G-box, though I'd like to. I'll have to look into when it's on.

I do think if you talk over something someone's watching -especially if it's deliberate and constant-it's very rude and intrusive and you deserve a 'shut up', although I'd probably be more polite. When i was a teen, one memorable christmas I had both sets of grandparents with us who bitched and moaned at everything all day but expected complete silence (and devotion) to the soap specials.

When I watched the DW special (first one i think) they bitched and said how crap it was, how they hated sci fi stuff, talked loudly and shouted over it. In the end my dad and mum told them in polite terms to stfu, or they wouldn't be watching Eastenders the next day.

I've always found talking through things like that rude, especially when the people who do are always the ones who want complete silence to concentrate on their own shit. They just seem to want to ruin yours.
