What did people think of it? Personally think it was a good first episode and a good idea

seamey beag84 · 14-03-2013 11:50pm

Just watching it now. Its hilarious, the gay couple and the black mother and daughter are priceless! Great idea for a program. Who would have thought watchin people on TV watchin people on TV would be interesting.

maydream · 14-03-2013 11:53pm

I really enjoyed it, especially loved the couple who drank through all the programs.

mike65 · 15-03-2013 12:12am

The first was amusing, sadly they all watch the kind of crap that stays well off my own screen so the laughs are drying up.

seamey beag84 · 15-03-2013 12:24am

Ya, noticed that. I've never seen any of the programs they were watching. I do want to see the C4 coverage of the Oscar Pistorius trial though. Looked really odd considering the case was still ongoing and they had the guy from tool academy presenting :-D wtf!

It was BBC3's coverage they were watching.

They are not mother and daughter, they are friends in their forties!!

The posh bloke with the 17 bedroom house is funny! I like the idea of the show!

Whoops... tuned in late into the program so just assumed. One of them didn't look close to 40!

Car99 · 28-03-2013 11:13pm

Are they actors or is it reality tv?

mike65 · 29-03-2013 12:33am

Its reality tv, or its inception tv as this new genre should be named.

evilivor · 18-09-2013 6:57pm

Back next Wednesday Night, September 25th at 10pm.

Queen-Mise · 23-10-2013 1:56pm

Is anyone watching the current season of this? I think this is one of the funniest shows on telly at the moment. Never thought that watching people watching television would be so funny. Although the narration is genius also.

The alcoholic posh couple are hilarious - did anyone see her comment on gingers !!!:eek: (they have gotta be alcoholic, they are ALWAYS drinking).

The two really intelligent guys have such a dry sense of humour - I like listening to their views on the telly.

And then you have the Oedipus Complex family - don't think I have ever seen an unhealthier relationship between mother and son (although the son comes out with some brilliant one liners).

And my favourite - the retired school teachers. The husband from that one is the biggest sh*t stirrer, you can see the twinkle in his eye as he is winding up the wife.

Meangadh · 06-11-2013 11:16pm

Anyone still watching or starting to watch this? It's hilarious, although (and I ain't no Twiggy myself) it's kind of scary how unhealthy looking some of the people on it are! Must spend a lot of time in front of the telly!

Last week watching them all watch the boy deal with his speech impediment on Educating Yorkshire was brilliant, they were all in tears, I was bawling too!

Toto Wolfcastle · 06-11-2013 11:44pm

Love the show. My husband wasn't sure about the idea when we started watching it last season but he loves it now. It's so funny. I'd watch a full show of the alcoholic couple and Leon.

seamey beag84 · 07-11-2013 12:34am

It could be my favorite easy tv show. The 999 program got to me a bit I must say, but of course the alco rich couple got the laughs in. They're priceless..

grey_so_what · 07-11-2013 1:30am

An absolutely hilarious show...Only started watching it this series, so funny.

It's like the Royle Family, watching a show watching a show.

Winner all around.

mikom · 07-11-2013 1:27pm

Great show.
I see a bit of myself in all of them.

Their mimicry of the Made in Chelsea accents was a highlight..

dark crystal · 07-11-2013 8:35pm

Nice one guys.....read this thread, having never heard of the show, decided to watch it and am now addicted!

They all really love a bit of Sam Bailey, don't they??

Loved how almost all the viewers featured danced along to disco week or mocked Titanic during movies week on the X Factor and how they all had 'that talk' about euthenasia after watching Corrie.

Also their faces when the walrus got tossed off

Great stuff.

Meangadh · 07-11-2013 10:22pm

It's brilliant because we ALL do that watching telly with other people! I know some people might see it as lazy television but it's the simplest ideas that are the most effective often... for example, one of the most effective theme tunes (Jaws) consists of just two notes! It doesn't always have to be a big production to be clever- it's its simplicity and how much I identify with it that makes me like it.

I wonder would an Irish version be good or just cringey?!!

You can really notice how much weight he has lost by how much less room he takes up in his chair!
He's great.

Back, in a primetime slot, 9pm next Friday night on Channel 4.

yerwanthere123 · 28-02-2014 3:56pm

Never noticed the thread on here first time round, can't wait for it to come back! Love Leon and June and the gay best friends.

branners69 · 28-02-2014 4:23pm

They should just give Leon and June their own show!

I like the gay best friends and the posh couple who are constantly drinking!

Toto Wolfcastle · 28-02-2014 4:30pm

Leon and June are great.

My favourites are Steph and Dom. The best bit was when the couch fell back.

Can't wait for it to start now. When it started I was a bit sceptical but it really is compulsive viewing.

yerwanthere123 · 28-02-2014 4:30pm

I loved when Leon referred to Miley Cyrus as "the dirty one". And that time when one of the gay guys walked into the room dressed all in white, and the other says "here comes Hannibal Lecter"

Sublime

Love this show. Sought it out because I remembered a funny late night show with Justin Lee Collins that was kind of the same thing.

Toto Wolfcastle · 07-03-2014 10:07pm

'When I read that alcohol is bad for you I gave up reading.'

I missed Steph and Dom!

grey_so_what · 09-03-2014 4:38pm

Just watched the first episode this morning...

Not to sure about the new couple...Scarlet has great potential though!...

Standards are high again this season!...

Very funny comments regarding Steve McQueen...

The below link gave me a giggle!...:D

Addle · 14-03-2014 10:32pm

Leon is still the best.

I think the sozzled couple are playing up to the cameras a bit.

I hope the show doesn't become a victim if it's own success.

lordgoat · 14-03-2014 10:38pm

This is solid gold. Hilarious.

thelad95 · 14-03-2014 10:42pm

Does that young lad in the German family say anything? Great entertainment though especially the gays and the old people .

He's great for subtle facial expressions that say a lot.

My name is URL · 14-03-2014 10:55pm

Turned this on thinking wtf but have been glued to it since. It's a lot more entertaining than you'd think it was if someone was telling you about it. All the families seem like great craic. Look at the color of your man drinking the red wine.. he looks as if his heart is about to explode!

He is so dopey looking. Has no opinion on anything. Hope he doesn't get paid too much to sit there saying nothing.

I agree there scenes seem a tad artificial now whereas they were more natural in the last series. Not sure any of the new families bring anything fresh either.

razorblunt · 15-03-2014 12:00am

Yer one Moffat was on that reality MTV show, surprised C4 took her on.

He's the boyfriend of the daughter supposedly. He did sigh heavily last week which is progress...

Addle · 18-04-2014 9:39pm

Leon is still the best.

The vicar, her husband and their dog on the couch... I didn't know what I was looking at for a while.

micar · 18-04-2014 9:46pm

The daughter of the Michael's family is quite hot!!!

Cracked a smile for the 80 year old tango lady.
Think the show has jumped the shark a little by hiring your one Moffat an ex mtv reality show failure.

fussyonion · 19-04-2014 3:38pm

I absolutely love this show, but I really don't like the vicar woman.
She's too much; over enthusiastic, too cheery, too much.

I don't like June-she's always nagging Leon or chastising him for saying someone has nice legs or a nice bum..she's such a prude. Imagine being married to her.

I love Sandy and Sandra.

The German family irritate me, especially the ugly hairy fella who doesn't speak.

I LOVE Steph and Dom so much, I wish they had their own show.

Bill and Joseph are weird....Joseph never really talks and Bill sits in a strange position.

I find 'em a bit irritating tbh.

Just seems like they're really hamming it up for the camera most of the time.

Do like Dom & Steph though, entertaining old lushes that they are.

Dom & Steph were on a Channel Four reality show called Four in a Bed a while ago. They run an upmarket B&B, very funny on that too.
