Gogglebox returns with its cast of Britain’s sharpest armchair critics, offering their unique takes on the latest TV shows. In this episode, airing on Channel 4 on Friday 5 April, the viewers share their reactions to a diverse range of programmes, including The 1% Club, Is It Cake?, Casualty, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin, The Yorkshire Farm, and This Morning. They also reflect on BBC News coverage of the rising cost of living.
Gogglebox, now in its 23rd series, has become a beloved fixture on Channel 4 since its debut in 2013. The show’s concept is simple yet winning—filming people from diverse backgrounds as they watch and react to popular TV shows from the comfort of their own homes. The result is a heart-warming and often hilarious insight into the lives and opinions of everyday people.
The show has won numerous awards, including BAFTAs and National Television Awards, and spawned several spin-offs, such as Gogglesprogs, Vlogglebox, and Celebrity Gogglebox. The success of Gogglebox lies in its ability to capture the cultural response to significant events and foster a sense of community among its viewers.
The current series features fan favourites like Jenny and Lee, Pete and Sophie, Giles and Mary, and The Siddiquis, as well as new additions, offering a mix of familiar faces and fresh perspectives.
Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 at 9:00 PM, Friday 5 April 2024.
