I might have missed this on a previous page but can anyone tell me why there is so little Steph & Dom this year?
Someone in an earlier post said they are filming their own show or something. Hopefully they will be be able to come back like George and his family.

They are to aware of the camera for me.

Yes I agree. Initially I quite liked them because they are naturally entertaining but then, when their reactions became more exaggerated it just made me cringe.

I have no interest in that show but is that person with the long blonde hair a man or a woman Wish they would stop these awful reality shows as all they do is argue.


Enjoyed last night as no drunk posh couple.

Jenny and Lee and Giles and Mary are brilliant Chris and Stephen always good value.

That's what makes them so good.

Braveheart? Why are they watching a 20 year old film?

That apparently none had seen previously

Is this the first series of Gogglebox you've watched?


They always used to watch old films. So far they've watched: Psycho, Grease, Home Alone, and Basic instinct.


I believe all of those titles are older than Braveheart.

The films are clearly chosen for their emotive effect.

Imagine showing a film which bored everyone!

(Although, when Braveheart came on and Leon exclaimed "wonderful", I did see June's eyes roll! Mine would have done so too).

A woman but she was raised as a boy because she had a fused labia and deformed clitioris.

I loved the comparison between Louis looking up the word piffler online (and siri giving a completely different (rude) answer) followed by Giles looking it up on a massive dictionary which must have been 5" thick.

What's up tonight? Usually, when I come on here, while watching on +1, I have at least 3 pages to read through from the 9pm showing.
I wonder how many people have now just abandoned the site (and forums) due to the disastorous mess they have made of the main site. I've not been on it since, and I used to be on it constantly. Just visit the forums now.

Although I visit both the main site and the forums, I don't really see that they have much to do with each other really. It's possible to visit either independently. I do agree though that the main site has taken a nosedive in format...what were they thinking?

I haven't seen Friday's program, catch the repeat later.
I don't get the confusion over this sort of thing, yes there are lots of 'popular' films that huge swathes of people have never seen.
The key points/scenes soon end up been discussed or been referenced, jokes made about it.

Like everything else that makes the edit, if there's no response, there's nothing worthy of making the edit.

I'd say most people aren't huge film buffs, no matter how many films they watch and don't remember whole swathes of script or scenes.
Unless it's a favourite film they mostly remember a few key scenes or that they had an emotional response to, at the time.
They know 'there's a good bit coming up' they can't always remember exactly why it's a good bit even as it's unfolding in front of them.
Explains why some of the Goggleboxers get so excitable, as the memories start flooding back, we've all been there.

I'd guess with the family's there's the added bonus of the parents telling the children what's going on or winding them up, ready for a key scene and seeing their children responding to it for the first time.

I'm not sure what the 'main site' consists of, I'm only here for the forums and those don't hold the allure they once did anyway.

I think it's time Ch4 and Steph and Dom realised their isn't a format for their 'skills' or they're simply a bit light on talent/charm for it to carry a whole program.

I watched their Farage thing and didn't think it was up to much, others must have thought there was something in it.

Steph certainly was. I could imagine her busily writing down things for herself to say whilst being filmed. Anyway, don't particularly like them and not missing them one bit on the show.

I also can't see why they are so special that they have been given their own show. They were often the most boring people on Gogglebox for me - a real turn off.

I didn't watch the Farage one but I watched the other one they did with various celebrities. I liked it, hope they make another episode/series.

I never realised they had a kid that young. How old are Steph and Dom?

I expect the only scenes of the films that are put on their 'showreel' are the ones we see them reacting to. They won't have time to watch all of the films along with the other clips and they need time for clothing changes, too, all whilst a crew is in another room directing it. I don't suppose there's more than a couple of crews who have to travel the country to film the show.

The Michaels, hairdressers and Steph and Dom all live within a short distance of each other and the Brixton pair an hour's drive away. So I expect the same crew do their scenes.

This week they had that C4 murder two parter, which they saw, before the programme was even broadcast.
