If I got married tomorrow I would need to live to nearly 120 !!!!

"June, come and watch X-Factor with me"

"Do I have to"

Just what I was thinking  

Well at least try, EC..! 

"Nicole Skirtsinger"  

He is brilliant, should have his own show.

I enjoyed that last bit with them all watching XF; the reactions were quite amusing 

Night in here 

If you can point me in the direction of an available, willing woman I will give it a go.

One of the best programmes of the week for me. Lots of mixed emotions every week from those on it and me too, laughter, annoyance and like tonight also tears

I sometimes catch a late night re run of the early B &B series and I'd love to see the one with Steph and Dom again

I've just started watching last night's programme.   'Release the Hounds' - how bad taste is that?

 I was saying the same as the lads about showing the lady dying 

I've not got to that bit yet Aims... it just struck me as horrible when I'd just seen an article on that poor wee girl who was killed by the bulldog - then I see an 'entertainment' show about a bloke being chased by dogs. 

That's the first thing I thought about, I did notice the 999 program was based around my area as the old man used my local taxi firm 

I will be 84 on my 66th wedding anniversary..if I'm still here..

I hated that too. Surely they would have known his name, if not why not call him Sir.  

I love the old couple Leon & June.  I can't think that I've ever noticed June laugh.  Leon reminds me of Mr C's late father when he says things he knows fine well are going to annoy June and then sits there smiling to himself.

And the reaction Carolyne had to the snakes on the TV, that's me 

I loved it when they were watching the hen night at the dog track and he said 'We've been dogging, love, haven't we?'

I missed that bit  Sounded hilarious.

You will be, sweetie   They never let any woman off for good behaviour these days... 

Exactly!  At least call him by his first name; "mate" seemed totally inappropriate considering the circumstances.  The poor darling was in shock and upset and needed a bit more of a personal touch.  Still, that aside, the ambulance fella was at least kind and gentle with him, so perhaps I shouldn't vilify him too strongly.  It just grated at the time.

I was hugely distressed at that scene - the first time i started to cry properly at a tv prog. I had to leave the room.

Horrible

I'm still trying to figure out how old I will be on our 66th wedding anniversary. We got married February 29th 2004. I was 32. 

I might need a calculator.

I'll be 296 on our real 66th Wedding anniversary, you're all invited to the party. Open bar.

 @ Cinds.  I'm not about to start doing any detailed mental arithmetic either.

I've been with His Nibs for 24 years but only married for 5 years.

Stonksy, I think you'll celebrate 66 years in 2070..? 

Good luck with that.  I'll bring the Sanatogen 

Mines a Babycham  Ta!  

Duly noted. I've written it down because I have an odd feeling I might have forgotten by then.

Oh jeeze.. I've just watched that.  I'm in bits here.. poor old Reg, I just want to cuddle him.

A friend said she watched the 999 show and that it was even more harrowing than watching the short clip on Gogglebox. I'm glad I never saw it all as it was upsetting enough what I did see.

Was that the last in the series?

Don't think i want to lose Dom & Steph - they're like mates coming round on a Wed for tea. And Leon - love him

And the gay guys Chris and thingy, "I nearly ran out of breath drinking that" LOL

Gogglebox: We tried to get people who are real, not desperate to be reality TV star

The Gogglebox production company has small crews out each night filming the contributors watching a list of selected shows (Picture: Channel 4)

Channel 4 show Gogglebox was such a surprise hit, its now halfway through a second 13-part series.

Contributors comment on a range of entertainment shows, documentaries and news programmes. The people on the show are often very funny and reflect the viewer’s impression that, by and large, there’s a load of rubbish on the telly.

There’s something life affirming about watching a 13-year-old girl blurt out: ‘Embarrassing Bodies is just lumps on your willies and problems with your clits.’

Meanwhile, the way all the contributors completely demolished the Liberal Democrats’ party political broadcast in 90 seconds suggests any money spent on focus groups is wasted. Executive producer Tania Alexander says one of the main challenges was finding contributors who weren’t desperate to be reality TV stars.

‘No one has applied,’ she says. ‘We went all over Britain asking people who looked interesting if they wanted to do it. We tried to get people who are real, not performers. If you think of the queue of applicants at Big Brother – those are the people we’d be avoiding.’

STEPH AND DOM

STEPHEN AND CHRIS

JEFF AND TRACEY

As the show gains popularity – it’s a big hit each week on Twitter, with the boozy bons mots of posh couple Steph and Dom proving particularly quotable – isn’t there a risk that will change?

As the weeks go by, the contributors seem to be developing their own ‘storylines’. A recent episode included a poignant exchange between Leon and June, a couple in their seventies, inspired by Coronation Street’s cancer storyline, in which they discussed what they wanted to happen in the event they became too ill to look after themselves.

‘Most of the people on the show needed persuading to do it – which is a good sign,’ says Alexander. ‘Sometimes they might think “my joke didn’t get on this week”, then they’ll realise it isn’t really about that, it’s about their genuine reactions to what they’re watching, and they’ll tone it down.’

The range of programmes is important to the format. ‘It’s really important we include news,’ says Alexander. ‘A tiny percentage of Britain having their comments about what they really think of David Cameron or Boris Johnson is really interesting.

Stephen watches TV with friend Chris

Are you under pressure to perform? No. If we find something boring we turn it off. I wear the same clothes on all the episodes so I don’t feel like I’m performing for the TV. My friends say I come across as I do normally but I have noticed I swear more than I thought I did.

Do you ever feel you’re revealing too much personal information? Yes. In the first series, we were watching Embarrassing Bodies. If you go on there you get the surgery done for free. I said: ‘I wish I’d gone on that and got my circumcision done,’ and Chris said: ‘But then everyone would know you’ve got a small willy.’ I was a bit p***ed off about that.

What are your favourite shows? I like documentaries. I don’t like The X Factor and Downton Abbey. Nothing ever happens on Downton Abbey and The X Factor is the same old format. It’s boring and it exploits the kids on it.

Has the show had any impact on your lives? We get recognised when we go out on the town at the weekend. People ask to have their picture taken with us but no one’s offered to buy us a drink so far. There don’t seem to be many perks.

I do have concerns that my drink of choice specifically chosen to aid my intemperance may become lost over the decades. Could I suggest you find a much more permanent method of recording my selection?

Good joke 

They are all cracking jokes tonight.
