Gogglebox - Giles & Mary (lighthearted)

[Ginger1982]

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?'

Lee and Jenny in the caravan. She’s fab.

Also, is the Michael’s dad a UKIP sort?

Yes - they had a hiatus a few series back when they didn't appear on it because the dad was running as a UKIP councillor

Makes me laugh the way they never look at each other!

Wow! Is that really her in that painting?

Yy to the plummers - I would

Umar sadiqqui is on tinder!

Biscay

I’ve only watched the last couple of series, had no idea. Feel rather less keen on him now!

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

ha ha i remember somebody saying that the locals in the village call it "the Grotage" instead of cottage its that bad

i love then two and also Jenny and friend

also quite fancy the 3 brothers

I want to marry the older Siddiqui brother.

Well - shag him senseless. Then marry him.

just read the article,also mentions the grottage

The Sidiquis are my favourite, they have such a great sense of humour and seem really warm. I'd like to live next door to them.

Lee and Jenny are great, his expressions when she comes out with something daft (like that wind turbines should be turned off at night "to save electricity") just crack me up.

Not sure about Giles & Mary. I quite like his dry sense of humour, but I find her hard to like. I get the feeling she'd like to be proper posh, but isn't.

Mr Malone senior is bloody hilarious, Ralf is great, Mary & Marina are really funny, Amira and her pal are lovely and I really miss Leon and June.

The Michaels - what a bunch of pillocks, and what high opinions of themselves they seem to have. I'm a bit meh about the rest, although the Brothers T are growing on me and the 3 older women have potential.

i must of missed that one

Lee and Jenny are great, his expressions when she comes out with something daft (like that wind turbines should be turned off at night "to save electricity") just crack me up

i love jenny,brilliant.

Oh yes the Brothers T are fabulous! and the three Jamaican ladies they have great potential.

I cracked up at the look on Lee's face when Jenny said said something about 'foreskin divers' instead of 'skin divers'.

ggirl you do know Leon died, right? Calling him “creepy” a bit uncalled for in the circumstances.

I read that Jenny used to be a pub landlady and Lee was one of her regulars. They are great.

Absolutely adore Giles and Mary. She is everything I hope to be when I'm her age.

I read that Jenny used to be a pub landlady and Lee was one of her regulars. They are great.

Yes in a village called Thorngumbald. I spent the occasional evening there as a teen as I lived in the next village along.

they should make a "best Bits"

They do don't they? Usually near Christmas.

I also love Giles and Mary and the Siddiquis. I read an interesting piece about Giles and Mary where she basically said that being on Gogglebox had done wonders for their marriage.

I like the three brothers (?) whose names all begin with T from Bristol but who aren't on often enough.

But the woman from Wales has the most beautiful speaking voice I have ever heard. I think I could listen to her all day. She should narrate audio books or something.

Giles’ constant mansplaining drives me to distraction. He speaks to Mary as though she were an imbecile/3 years old. She deserves a medal for putting up with it.

Don't find the two older ladies very funny at all, don't think they add anything , and the young brother and sister have a nasty sense of humour .

Love the Siddques they have such a nice relationship with each other . Like Jenny shes very funny and Ralph the German man. Giles can seem a wee bit forced in his humour he really plays up to the cameras but Mary is just herself complete with ripped tights!

One day the camera is going to pan round from Mary to see Giles has been beaten to death (by Mary) with the fire poker. Mary will smile serenely.

Urgh I can't bear Stephen and his mother, he tries far too hard to be funny and she laughs weakly at his pathetic efforts

The Michaels' sons voice is hideous!!! He would bore me to death.

Also don't like Blackpool siblings, the two sister irritating as fuck, the Asian friends voices are also annoying

Love Ralf, love the Malones, love jenny & lee and Giles and Mary
Absolute faves are the Siddiquis, what a beautiful family, their parents must be so proud
