Mine has to be Giles and Mary they are hilarious.
I was creasing last night imagining Giles frisbeeing a popadom across the room 😂😂

I like them all but the new family with the sweary daughter are very unpleasant.

pansydansy · 04/04/2019 14:30

@Nowordsleft who's the sweary daughter? Have I missed a family 😳

I like jenny and lee but I can't stand it when they do their 'funny' stuff not related to what they are watching, it's so obviously set up. I imagine them saying what can we do that people will think is really funny this week. Didnt buy the face cream stunt at all.
Love the Malones, great family dynamics but not the swearing, unneccesary.
The Welsh couple are natural and not put on at all. Sidiqques are all lovely men and quite funny too. Can't stand the new Essex family of mother and daughters with the foul mouthed daughter showing herself up with her effin and jeffin.

Rumbletum2 · 04/04/2019 14:34

Love most of them, not keen on the Michaels but LOATHE the new ones from Essex especially the foul mouthed, thick older daughter.

Fazackerley · 04/04/2019 14:36

We used to love it but even my teens are now completely sick of the swearing. I now find it too stressful! So don't really watch any more

RavenLG · 04/04/2019 14:37

Mary and Marina: The accent, the things they come out with. I hope I'm that full of life when I'm older.

The Siddiquis; seem like such a genuine, lovely family and people.

Pete and Sophie: I just love the relationship they have with each other, and they're hilarious.

I like most of them except the new essex family, and that GOD AWFUL Helena. Can't bloody stand her. The UKIP Brighton parents are awful, the kids are ok (Louis and Alex?). Linda and Peter are the epitome of vile too. Abbie and Georgia have about 4 brain cells between them.

A friend's little sister works on the show and said that the Siddiqui's are lovely, lovely people. Will make food for all the camera people and show workers etc. Lee and Jenny only live in the UK for half the year and spend the other half abroad. The Malone's are apparently quite nice but a pita to film at the moment as the daughter has just moved back home with her little girl as her relationship broke down, and she doesn't want to be on the show.

RavenLG · 04/04/2019 14:40

Do people really watch that programme?
Well it's on it's 12th season so what do you think?

Magmatic80 · 04/04/2019 14:40

Giles makes me throw things, I can’t understand why Maaaaary puts up with him. Although I would miss saying ‘Giles and his wife Maaaaaary’ every time they’re on if they weren’t.

I love the Siddiquis, and would quite like to adopt them, and the brother and sister are absolute quality television. Love Ellie and Izzy, but wish they’d put the dog in kitchen when they’re eating.

HeyJude81 · 04/04/2019 14:42

I love all of them!! Apart from the girl that swears all the time whilst sitting on the sofa next to her mum! Each to their own but it makes me cringe! Sophie and Pete are hilarious and Giles and Mary would be the BEST next door neighbours!!!

Knittedfairies · 04/04/2019 14:43

Pete and his little sister Sophie, with the Siddiquis a very close second.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 04/04/2019 14:45

Mary and Giles, Lee and June, The Sqidiqis,

I used to like the two hairdressers, but I think the remaining one, is it Stephen? is nasty and cruel. I read an article about how mean he was to the ex partner and he had panic attacks due to his bullying behaviour.

runwithme · 04/04/2019 14:45

Oh and The Malones! Love them, their dogs and the plates of food!

runwithme · 04/04/2019 14:46

And the Welsh couple!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 04/04/2019 14:46

Lee and Jenny, why did I think she was June.

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 04/04/2019 14:55

I used to like the two hairdressers, but I think the remaining one, is it Stephen? is nasty and cruel.

I don't think he's so bad. But I do suspect his new husband has married him partly just to get on TV though.

pansydansy · 04/04/2019 15:09

@HeyJude81 I so want to live next door to Giles and Mary 😂😂

The second sentence I wrote, was explaining why I thought he was cruel and nasty.

I read an article about how he treated his ex partner. I’m no good at links, but I’ll see if I can find it.

Rumbletum2 · 04/04/2019 16:11

I’d forgotten about the young Geordie girls - awful.

TotalNoob · 04/04/2019 16:16

I like them all apart from Stephen and his bloke. Didn’t like him with his mum either. Nasty, sneery and far too try-hard. Chris was nice but I wasn’t at all surprised to read how he’d been basically bullied off the show by Stephen after another venture they did didn’t work out and how he’s suffered since.

TotalNoob · 04/04/2019 16:17

What does it say about me that I’ve not noticed the swearing at all Blush

lachenalia · 04/04/2019 16:41

The Siddiquis are my favourites , seem genuinely nice people and not needlessly unkind . Also Mary and Marina , they seem lovely and so unshockable . Mary and Giles are getting a bit samey but good fun . Also quite like Izzy and her sister . I agree with the poster re Stephen , he seems catty and unkind about everybody , and didn't warm to his Mum when she was on it with him , they seemed to be very similar personalities , a bit too vicious in their criticism . And my absolute pet hates are the awful brother and sister , they are snide and sniggering about everybody and everything , they never say anything nice about anyone and seem quite unkind .I do realize that this may be how the tapes are edited and that they may well be really nice in real life but it seems like they are trying too hard to be witty and "personalities" .

Ginger1982 · 04/04/2019 17:00

Not keen on the new Essex family, the Joanna Lumley woman, the Michaels or Stephen and his Michael Hutchence hubby but the rest are good. I didn't like Peter and Sophie but they've really grown on me now and the Malone dad pulls some great faces!

JustDanceAddict · 04/04/2019 18:04

The brother and sister ‘what a cock’ bloke
The Siddiquis
Jenny and Lee
Giles and Mary are classic but not sure I’d like them IRL

Not keen on that new white family w the daughter who comes across really thick

Also not keen on the Geordie sisters

JustDanceAddict · 04/04/2019 18:05

I loved June and Leon - rip Leon 😞

StyleOfTheTimes · 04/04/2019 18:06

Jenny and Lee, their friendship is wonderful
