Deirdre O’Kane and Rory Cowan will narrate the TV3 show which premieres on TV3 this Thursday at 9.30pm and will run for 12 weeks

Atlantic Dawn

I can't believe they selected Deirdre O’Kane and Rory Cowan for narration, their voices are the complete polar opposites of the softly spoken Caroline Aherne (RIP) and Craig Cash.

Is Rory Cowan the fella with the extremely campy voice? If so a bit too panto for Googlebox I'd say.

BettePorter

I like Deirdre o Kane as an actress. But as a presenter / voiceover shes woeful. She's currently on some radio ad involving a spider in the loo or some such ****e, and her delivery is just painful.

Thankfully I never thought the voice overs that important in the UK Gogglebox. They don't really interpret what is happening a la Four in a Bed or Come Dine with Me so shouldn't make much odds to me if they are good or bad, will be the bits in between that will make or break it

O'Kane in particular has a voice like an industrial grinding apparatus.

Night time in all the houses when they're watching the six one news?
There's something wrong there

That_Guy

I dunno... The 2 Cavan fellas are the only ones that seem in any way natural.

Glen_Quagmire

The voice overs don't work

I'm sure they don't watch things live when broadcast.

irishguy1983

Never watched the UK version but decided to tune in tonight.

I don't get it! This is really boring!

Cdosrun

I think it's ok compared to C4 for just starting out.

Most load of s*ite I have ever seen on TV, watching other people watch their TV?!? No wonder it is so popular our society now is all about judging other people...

colm_mcm

This is pretty terrible.

BettePorter

Cavan lads are the only ones with potential to be funny / naturally witty so far I think.

kilns

Some of them playing to the camera a bit too much

Yes her voice very grating already

barney shamrock

Brutal so far.

Sir Oxman

Shocking.
Disclaimer: I hate the Cowan thing

Lady Chatterton

Feels awful flat.

I do like the Cavan lads, the African family and the Limerick mother and sons though.

Tipsy McSwagger

It's a pity they couldn't get anyone from Dublin to go on it.

That_Guy

Those two from the Liberties should be hooked. They're trying waaaaaaaaaaaaay too hard.

kilns

Cavan lads anti Dubs

KKkitty

I'm liking it so far.

That_Guy

Paul x 2 = No thanks.

Patty O Furniture

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means 'a whale's vagina'.

:p

Tandey

This is awful tripe.

Can't help but feeling like a saddo watching it, honestly whats the point? It's boring.

Cool is there Cavan people on it, I love the Cavan accent, any Cork people on it?

I saw that Paul+Paul from Youghal, meant to funny, but really crummy:rolleyes:

Didn't the UK one start last week?

Autosport

I'm loving the clothes on the dogs. I don't know what to make of it so far

adocholiday

Ah lads it's not too bad! There's definitely an element of playing up to the camera but that'll fade after a few episodes. The English one was the same and its a good show now

Two Pauls from Youghal

Miriam O' Callaghan the one with 42 children

Autosport

Should have more variety of people from other counties other than Dublin

Fonze07

Your woman Aga is pretty hot

Patty O Furniture

Will the car's voice (Siri) understand the slurring, when it drives you home from the pub, the Healy-Rae's no doubt will get it!

What show are you watching

kilns

There will be a few families who will feature less and less as the show goes on. The 4 girls on the couch so not natural though, full make up and getting dressed up for it

That_Guy

"They're great cars if you're say on the road for a long time and you're having a roll"

Laughed hard at that.

Not sure what to make of it all the same. Like I say, the two lads from Cavan are very natural and will be the "stars" of the show if you like.

Everyone else is kinda playing up to the camera. I'm sure it might die down over the next coming weeks but I'm just not fully digging the vibe right now.

I read that as ' your woman's aga is pretty hot' ....... and all I could think was ' where did u see an aga? We ve seen no kitchens?

KyranW

Too many Dubs on it, a bit more variety would have been nice.

Enjoying it otherwise.

Tbf There's 3 dub families & 3 wannabe ones, too many

Funnyonion79

The Cavan lads straight away are the only ones that seem to be relaxed and themselves. Everyone else seems super aware of the cameras and are trying too hard. It makes me uncomfortable to watch it. All very false/staged.

Atlantic Dawn

I do like the Cavan twins sofa, I must get one.

KyranW

Those Cavan lads have some set up. Pints on a bloody couch.

Patty O Furniture

The 2 Dub girls, was that a real ginger cat sitting on the left or did it look stuffed?

Big TV3 plug at the end

Anita and Tracy? The cat did walk past them at one stage
