Gogglebox

I don't call that a proper show, It seems to me to a lot of silly people just swearing and passing silly comments. Do they get paid,everytime I watch it some of the people seem to upgraded their furnishings and decorations.

[chrissa1]

As far as I know they don’t get paid but get a free takeaway and help with their electricity bill.

They do have jobs that will pay for house moves or new decor.

Every time you watch it? Here's a tip, if you don't like it don't watch it. I know, that's madness right?

I understood each family received £1,500 per month but I could be mistaken.....x

[tonyav]

Yep £1500 per month.

I like it, the idea of viewers watching viewers watching TV is great. Some of the families annoy me though.

Also the new furniture comes through the sponsorship of SCS (a Scottish furniture company I believe)

I love the programme, don't always agree with their opinions but it's still fun.

Good to see ours isn't the only household where people shout at the box in the corner.

[gness]

I think, like me, Mamya...you live alone......it's when you start arguing with yourself as you're shouting at the box in the corner that you start to worry, isn't it.... :-(

[Mamyalynne]

Well, not me so much - but when my neighbour upstairs asks if I had guests the night before, then yes sometimes I do. :-)

[gness]

I only watch TV when I knit.....I only knit....apart from when on a long journey.....when I watch TV....
I'd apply for £1,500 if I didn't think a lone woman watching TV and knitting would be a tad boring... :-(

[chrissa1]

You, me and mamya should get together, gness. ;)

Gogglebox would love us.

[gness]

Oh, Chrissa! That would be fantastic......the three of us on a sofa watching Gogglebox!....Bliss.... :-)

[jennyjoan]

And don't forget me LOL

[Peter Pedant]

I saw the original advert for punters for the pilot of Goggle box

you had to agree to watch plenty plenty telly
25 hours a week I think - four hours a day with a rest on sunday ....

I reckoned I was only doing 25% of that

[gness]

Conne....you'd always be welcome......a night of fun would be guaranteed with you there!......x

[anneasquith]

Oh I would watch you four ladies watching TV :-)

[gness]

Watch, Anne?....you wouldn't want to join us...... ;-)

[anneasquith]

I'll be the substitute ( in case of emergencies ) :-)

[Mamyalynne]

You mean a stunt double for Gness?

[jennyjoan]

Aye that's true Anne - in case we make plonkers of ourselves on the oul lonk. Ahahahahah LOL
