I like the title sequence, I know it by heart and join in with Queenie's 'ya get me' in my head, every week.
Oh I really think the title sequence needs updating! I know they've added to the initial one but it is so tired/old now. I particularly loathe 'ya get me' - like she is being clever...NOT!

More new families yet the furthest north they've been is Durham. The Scottish family from last series lived in England and were hard to understand.
Far too many Southern families. There need to be a few more Northern families on

Not keen on the posh family that live in the mansion.
Can't stand them either.

Not really. The dad is not posh but old and rich, which is why he has a young family, unfortunately.
Yep, I think Steph and Dom are genuinely posh and funny This lot are new money, not posh, and definitely putting it on.

I love the new old ladies. The way they were talking about Brad Pitt and the fit young topless men outside reminded me of the two old ladies played by Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke): "Ooh, young maaaaaan!"
They were hilarious, and lovely.

Just watched the titles again.

Leon/June and Sandy/Sandra are still included.
Steph/Dom have been removed
Rev Kate/Graham aren't included but I don't think they ever were.
Hope the Rev and her downtrodden hubby never come back. I couldn't STAND the Rev.

Yeah does my head in too that! It was funny (ish) for five minutes.

One other thing I wanted to mention, when they were watching Jilly Cooper, one of the goggleboxers commented that they don't like villages 'because they're not multi cultural.' Why is that a problem? What is wrong with villages not being multi cultural?

I was surprised they included the bit about Channel 4 in at the end, for obvious reasons.
If they hadn't included something about C4 poaching GBBO it would've been like the elephant in the room. It's been one of the biggest news stories recently and for it to just not be mentioned (on C4 as well) would have seemed very odd IMO.

Re the new families - the two old ladies are a great addition, really funny. The three brothers were OK but groups of youngish guys don't seem to last on Gogglebox for some reason. The rich family seem to be intended to be a replacement for Steph and Dom, but I really struggle believe that neither of the girls (who must both go to private school) know what a magpie is!

Oh and I wish they'd update the opening clips!

Decent episode I thought

Happy to see no Leon, Essex sisters are growing on me, the older ladies seemed a little boring so far

I'm sure they know what a magpie is, but being so young they wouldn't know about the idea of magpies stealing bottletops and shiny things, thus would not understand it being used as a political insult to the PM.

I would imagine that they tend to be exclusive e.g. may attract those that are intolerant of other races....dare I say it - racists even! It harks back to a time when such villages were the norm and also when there was accepted racism e.g. towns having signs in pubs and b & b's saying 'no blacks'

Hopefully the Dad will get to see his children get married.

Would it not be more a case of "multi-cultural" folk not wanting to live in villages?

the two old ladies are awful, i think they will be a couple of nasty characters - taking over from leon and june.

they didnt seem to actually talk about the shows, just themselves.

The posh dorset family are just playing at it. The "dad" must be 75, very uncomfortable viewing.

Not if they didn't feel welcomed!

I don't regard Leon and June as nasty characters at all! They are left wing...presumably you are not then!? Ha! June makes lots of intelligent, well measured remarks and compensates somewhat for Leon who is admittedly, cranky.

The posh family, i.e. the Delaney Ellwoods haven't said that much. I am surprised they can generate any kind of viewpoint so soon! So you dislike the elderly huh? Hmmm

Some of them may play up to the camera a bit but none of its scripted. To say so is doing humanity a disservice. Some people are thoughtful, or funny, or sensitive. No reason at all to think any of it is scripted.

You'll be telling me that the Xfactor is not scripted?

I don't deny that they enjoy being on camera but they are the general public, i.e. not actors. To think that they only say what is scripted is ludicrous! It seems to have escaped you that they are chosen BECAUSE they are deemed to provide interesting/entertaining feedback.

She's not trying to be clever FGS.
The way some of you completely misinterpret something simply because you dislike some of the Goggleboxers, still surprises me.

Reminds me of that angry thread that someone posted about how Scarlett had, had surgery going by a picture on her Facebook, in fact she'd just been using one of these photo tweaking apps on her phone.

I don't think It's scripted, but I think they play up to the cameras and are fed some of the one liners

Are you so sure? You remember the context do you? Queenie is apt to say "ya get me?" when she thinks she has made a clever remark - she has done this on several occasions now ... that is why it grates on me because she is not that bright. So, you see, it is not a misinterpretation at all!! If you are going to make a criticism be sure of what you are saying.
