VM are cheap and want to spend as little as possible.

Gogglebox is a cheap enough show to produce tough.

New series looks to be starting on Wednesday.
UK one back next Friday too

I thought the same crowd behind the Royale Family were behind gogglebox at one time, because after Caroline Ahern [RIP] stopped narrating it her co--star Craig Cash from that series took over. Apparently he only did so because she asked him personally to take over when her voice went though

I watch both the Irish and UK versions, started watching just to have something to watch with my partner but she gave up on it after the earlier seasons and my daughter kinda took over. Now it's our regular Autumn/winter wed/fri night thing, only thing we really watch together [besides Master chef US when it's on or Masters of photography] so I kept going. One of the Irish families lives just up the road from us, the Adenugas, their son was in my younger daughter's class. We met them a few times at school plays etc ... and my older daughter who's a fan of the show was a bit star struck lol ... even though they are families just like any of us, the fact she'd watched them for so long on TV made them 'celebs' They're not in it anymore I don't think

9pm tonight, I'll be recording so I can Ffwd the adverts as per usual

Awkward watching the sex scene in the deceived with your parent/parents....

She's not African, she's from Tallaght, she is in fact Irish

It served as yet another reminder to me how much I hate RTE - when introducing the Late, Late they refer to Tubridy as "a national treasure" :rolleyes:

As to the new families, would have to give them a chance, but they didn't stand out. I still like the 2 lads living with their mam, she's gas - the older Dub ladies can be comical too and the Cavan lads. The rest ... meh, couldn't care if they replaced them all

UK one Friday at 9pm, guessing those who watch this possibly watch that too

Nevermind couches, I think some one of the girls in Cabra got a conservatory. They went from a side room to this huge extended lounge with bright lighting.

But yeah, they all seem to have taken advantage of the Harvey Norman couch sale.

Its actually really hard to see them they are so far apart !

I never got into the UK one. For me, the Irish one is just so Irish. Maybe its the different accents that you can place and relate to.

I was watching the UK one from the off so got to know the families on there
3 seasons before the Irish one. They have their fair share of numpty families I can tell ya. But they do have a few funny feckers too.

Some of the original popular ones left over the years to do reality Tv or chat shows [Scarlett Moffat for example] and one of the older couples, June and Leon Bernicoff, sadly both passed away
