So Sid says on Twitter it was just banter but you know better?

No YOU said it was banter....keep up (rolls eyes). Sid has explained not to be too hard on his son...i.e. it was not just banter that transpired but they are trying to smooth over the situation.

Have you read Sid's tweet ?@goggleboxsid: Dear #Gogglebox fans please don't be too hard on @baasitsiddiqui at his defence of GOT it was just a banter I ate his korma chicken earlier. Do feel free to collect your eyes from wherever you rolled them

Why do you seem to WANT it to be more than just a minor bit of family joking around?

I do not want it to be more than that. I saw the dad recoil when his son got emotionally defensive re. the LOTR and GOT comparison. (Watch it on repeat, towards the end of the programme - speaks for itself; I rest my case!)

However, I understand the need to diminish the situation since people on twitter have had a go at Baasit, i.e. they also saw what transpired. (Incidentally, it is not just me who saw that Sid was taken aback) Let's move on now shall we?

So Sid was really massively upset and has now taken to lying about it on Twitter? Seriously? Just admit you read the situation wrongly.

I did not say massively upset - the words I used were "taken aback". I have just watched it back again and see that it was not as inflammed as I recalled. However, it was not banter either! Baasit was making a point i.e. not in jest.

Sid says it was banter. Are you saying he is lying about it?

Back to the actual programme....I think it is now a good mix of differing types of viewers.

I hope you are right but I saw the look in the dad's eyes - not at all lighthearted/playful.”

Good at reading tones and facial expressions?

I am saying he is being tactful/toning it down since he also mentioned twitters not to be too hard on Baasit. Clearly there was a reason for him needing to say this, yes? Why were people being hard on Baasit if it was so obviously "banter"?
(Thereagain twitter is renowned for its trolls...)

I would imagine because people like you were doing on here having a go at him over some family banter.

Ha...predictable reply and so wrong! People like me is NOT me OK? I was just concerned for Sid that's all (if you read my posts). Stop trying to demonise me please.

I said you were trying to .... I have admitted where I got it wrong and still I am targeted....pretty pathetic really. For the record I am not on twitter and I have not rebuked Baasit. I just felt sorry for Sid...so kill me now! Jeez....smh

Targeted? What? I asked where I had demonised you, challenging you on an assertion you made about me is hardly targeting by any stretch of the imagination!
