I noticed the difference too. It doesn't look like a home anymore. It looks like something stark and minimalized for the TV.
It might well be just them changing their taste too though I suppose.

My favourite living room is Giles and Mary's. It's so quirky and cluttered.
Also tickles me that she sits in a low armchair with a footstool and he seems to perch on a high seat above her!

A lot of the families have had new sofas/armchairs in the last few series. Nothing to do with the show being sponsored by a sofa company, I suppose?

Apparently they don't actually all sit in those actual chairs when normally watching the telly. Some just don't both fit into the camera angle when sitting in their normal spaces. Apparently normally June sits on the couch and Leon has a big armchair. They're probably on two different sides of the room though and it doesn't work.

I think its pretty obvious they asked Giles to shove his chair in there as he looks bloody awkward. There's no way he sits there normally. Mary does though I bet. She looks like she's grown roots there!

Mary looks as though she'd bang her head on the cupboard above if she ever stood up!

The position of the Moffatt's sofas looks contrived too, as though they're blocking the doorway.

...and Scarlett is always perched right on the edge of her seat.
Thinking about it now, perhaps Dad Malone had to drag his seat forward at the 'request' of the Producers...

Chris and Stephen have got their own Squeej!

Oh crap. Why did they have to go to the valleys region of Wales to get Welsh goggleboxers?

Awful accents.

Nothing wrong with blow drying your bush.

Ah the dogs sleeping on wots his name's lap.

These two are a match.... this is not a compliment.

What's with all the new pets?

Why have they all got dogs all of a sudden?

First Dates being covered AGAIN!!!!!!

It can be too much of a promo show for C4 shows.

June and Leon don't like Dickie Bird then

Brighton is the best city in the UK. The fact they've got a Green MP says it all.

Giles owns this show. Every week now.

He owns a sense of intellectual superiority.

He's great. I love his withering asides!

What's with the dogs and food props all of a sudden?

Oh come on, not the X Factor again!!!!

And knee ripped trousers

Do they like anyone They were my favourites but cannot stand them now.

Scarlet: He's a rappin' dove

She cracks me up

"Bouquet of Barbed Wire" what the heck is that?!
