Is extremely rude and horrible to his wife?

I used to like him and find him funny. But over recent weeks I'm gob smacked at some of the stuff he comes out with. He tells June to shut up constantly and his comments about women are a bit off recently .

I'm watching it now on catch up and he's told her to shut it twice - and not in a ' jokey' way.

Horrible man

So , am I alone in this? Anyone else noticed ?

Its Scouse humour. My family speak to each other in that way. They adore each other. It's affectionate banter

I actually think that Leon is a bit of a twat and he does make me cringe. But I don't think that June is being mistreated and I'm sure she can soon put him in his place if she cares to Grin

I've never seen the new bloke (im assuming you're talking about the family with the mass of big dogs) be rude or thuggish? Why are they "meat heads"? Just because they aren't like the two piss head posh ones.

I like the Mancunian dad and his facial expressions

RocketCat77 · 26/03/2015 19:44

Love the advert with the Hairdressers and Kevin Bacon - brilliant !

TeaAfficionado · 26/03/2015 20:23

I like Dave the enormous dog who doesn't realise that he's massive!

Rightokthen · 26/03/2015 20:28

I got emotional after the comic relief bit. "I've donated £50, that's all I can do, that's all I can do"

Or similar words

That was Leon wasn't it

PrettyFeet · 26/03/2015 21:17

Someone up thread said that Leon is a bit of a perv. That's exactly how I see him too, eww. But June loves him.

My favourites are the two black women, Sandy and Sandra. They make me laugh out loud, so funny and such good friends.

Littlebluesock · 26/03/2015 22:00

Hahaha I love dave too

Littlebluesock · 26/03/2015 22:01

The enormous dog that is

Programme makers if you're reading, please replace the lady vicar. She adds nothing except an excruciating pain when I see or hear her.

Notagainmun · 28/03/2015 02:22

Love this show. I think it is because they are regular people whose everyday humour that makes it funny. Would have loved a daughter like the one who appears with just her parents, she can be really quick witted and at other times endearingly daft (but I wouldn't swap my boys - just saying).

tartyflette · 28/03/2015 02:32

Yes, Scarlet is very sharp and funny, and her Mum's no slouch either. But the family from Manchester, their place looks small and they seem to have four or five huge dogs! And they always have e a plate of cakes (jam tarts tonight) on the table. Envy

derxa · 28/03/2015 08:04

Just seen a tweet from Katie Hopkins berating the vicar. Anyone who annoys Her Vileness is a top girl in my book

Bambambini · 28/03/2015 08:13

The vicar is fine - just not as colourful as some of the others.

ShouldIworryornothelp · 28/03/2015 08:27

Sandy and Sandra are by far the best on gogglebox as is the Geordie girl

Not loving the family with the fat dad and daughter whose eyes you can't see

LittleBearPad · 28/03/2015 08:32

Dave is great.

The vicars husband spoke!!

I love Leon and June. It's clear he completely adores her. I love it when he says something inappropriate and she rolls her eyes and puts him in his place.
I read an interview with Leon where he talked about "marrying out" and the family issues this caused. This was obviously many years ago and must have taken a lot of courage.

Weebirdie · 01/05/2015 21:27

Have just laughed out loud at Leon's response to the mass hypnotism on Britains Got Talent

Hypnotism me arse.

It was just like what my granny would have said.

Weebirdie · 01/05/2015 21:28

And yes, the William Morris couple are fab.

cardibach · 01/05/2015 21:32

I don't think Scarlet is sharp. She thinks she's very clever and funny, but she seems ignorant and arrogant to me. I like Leon and June and the vicar. Siddiqis are the best though!

Baaaaaaaaaaaa · 01/05/2015 22:42

Giles and Mary (the William Morris couple) are just growing and growing as the weeks pass by. I love them. Soooo eccentric.

Still love All the others - all except June and Leon. He makes me feel physically sick. Ugh. Just no. Get him off.

mmgirish · 02/05/2015 00:10

I love Leon. I think he is great.
