I LOVE Giles and Mary, but why does Craig Cash always refer to them as 'Giles...and his wife Mary?' Even if it's Mary that's making a point, she always comes second. AIBU to think it should, sometimes be 'Mary...and her husband Giles?' Grin

They have a book with a plan of their house in it. I got it for Christmas.

The new family with the Mum and daughter and the bloke who sits between them in his pyjama bottoms...I don’t think he has ever opened his mouth!

GabsAlot · 28/04/2018 09:11

i dont see him being passive aggressive as not getting his humour

The80sweregreat · 28/04/2018 09:32

She just puts up with him - she probably sends him out in the garden to do his art work when she is really fed up.
i like them though and i bet they are actually quite happy, in their own way.

I liked Stephen with his friend. It not his Mum. She has no opinion of her own and is a platform for his dull jokes. He wasn’t the funny one in the relationship in the first place.

Love Giles and Mary.

Love the Sqiddiqis.

Susiesoap7 · 28/04/2018 09:46

Don't like Giles n Mary
Don't like the family with the bloke with huge ugly beard,wife with coloured hair and the odd son! Make me cringe
The rest are good

Passmethecrisps · 28/04/2018 09:47

I am sure I read that Giles and Mary’s House is actually barely habitable - although that may have been an exaggeration. It is damp and falling down in bits. It is very lovely from the outside though.

GabsAlot · 28/04/2018 09:50

the odd son has tourettes

SporkInTheToaster · 28/04/2018 09:53

Not a fan of Stephen, he is just too try hard. Everything seems forced and ‘jazz hands’.

I quite like the family with the beard and bright hair. I think the son has Tourette’s syndrome. Not mad on the huge dogs but meh, I don’t have to live with them.

SporkInTheToaster · 28/04/2018 09:53

X post with gabsalot

Susiesoap7 · 28/04/2018 09:57

Jennie n lee are my favourites 😘

I'm tempted to reply just for the free takeaway Grin tho I hate people talking to me when I'm watching TV.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 28/04/2018 10:10

We love Amira and Iqra and their amazing aray of facial expressions! Think Gogglebox should give them more horror movies to watch Grin

berninisbeloved · 28/04/2018 10:38

I love Mary and Giles and Sidiquis really dislike the brother and sister and Stephen with his mother and their bare feet they really make me turn off. New family with weird colour hair never said anything even remotely interesting. Missing Judy and Leon ❤️

LucheroTena · 28/04/2018 10:46

I love Giles and Mary, the Malones, the Siddiqis, Jenny and Lee. Miss June and Leon’s banter. The elderly ladies are quite good. I’d get rid of everyone else and start again.

user1484830599 · 28/04/2018 10:48

I have Giles and Mary's wallpaper. Not the matching chair though Grin

camelliasinensis · 28/04/2018 10:55

I read an article about Giles and Mary, there was a photograph of their living room and the curtains also match the armchair and the wallpaper.

Can't stand ratboy and his sister from Blackpool, they need to go. So overly nasty about everyone

Slartybartfast · 28/04/2018 11:03

also concerned for the tapper daughter, who is my daughter's age.
do like giles and kary and the siddiques

camelliasinensis · 28/04/2018 11:03

(I realise the irony in my comment .. oops)

Bostin · 28/04/2018 11:03

Back to the original point isn’t is ‘Giles & Mary’ as that is the order they sit it? Like Jennie and Lee and Steph and Dom.

I love them all except the UKIP family. I find the mum really irritating and she is always on for the cameras. And I agree there was a lot of reverse snobbery last night.

camelliasinensis · 28/04/2018 11:10

Stephen doesn't have the same pisazz without Chris. Stephen's Mum just sits there and laughs, she never says a word!

I love the Siddiqi's and the Malones.

Not a huge fan of the bloke who sits there in joggers with his bollocks clearly in view like he wants to show them to the nation!

i spose the tapper daughter can't help being slow but her size is of concern, bless her

BennyTheBall · 28/04/2018 11:39

We love Giles and Mary. I have always thought she hates him.

Jamiefraserskilt · 28/04/2018 11:39

I like the dynamics of all the families. Something for everyone and shows diversity. Does anyone else think that Dave the dogs dad looks like a Sontaran from Dr Who? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:280808-054_CPS_(3998769136).jpg

JustDanceAddict · 28/04/2018 11:40

I loved Leon & June.
Love Siddiquis
Mary & Giles are just - nutty!
Agree Stephen is not as good with his mum.
