Anyone watch this? After it was recommended to me I spent the first 5 mins thinking what the hell have I been put on too here.......

Then it become one of them programmes that despite the fact you know you're watching shite becomes really bloody addictive and dare I say it funny.

For those that don't know its basically Caroline Aherne presenting a programme where you watch other people watching tv.

See it sounds shite doesn't it and despite the fact I would usually spout that they are blatantly acting up for the cameras (which no doubt some of them are), I can't help but like it, esp the posh couple.

Friday nights at 9pm I think maybe channel 4 - it's series linked by the mrs so not entirely sure.

So....any views or am I the only sad git who watches it?

    I thought Google had reinvented the cardboard box when I opened this.

    As for the show yh I watch it, not as good as it used to be, doesn't seem as authentic and is clearly scripted in parts but still enjoyable.

    I love it. Terrible concept ( watching people watching TV) that works brilliantly.

    I love Leon, he cracks me up.

    I saw the large West Indian lady in Weatherspoons Brixton a few months back.

    She was milking her celebrity status & why not.

    Can't stand the two black ladies. They just shout for the sake of it, get on my tits.

    The German dad is hilarious.

    The pissed up middle aged couple are quality

    The boyfriend of the girl with the German dad is quality too. Hasn't said a word in two years (and is studying for an NVQ in customer services)

    Oh and re that female vicar or whatever she is.

    Why is her dog's bollocks always on show, in exactly the same position every week ?

    I love it, refused to watch the first couple of series purely as I don't like reality based TV

    Excellent programme and very funny - only picked it up this series (which is the third). My favourites are Leon, the posh (usually half pissed) couple, the German dad and the ridiculous young guy from Essex with the high voice.

    You can see previous episodes on 4oD, the Channel 4 website.

    Love the posh couple, the young gays, Leon (apart from his politics), the essex family with the old kid in the middle, the non speaking lad, the indian family etc.

    Don't like the two black girls - so OTT and the vicar is annoying with her dull bloke and dog's bollocks.

    Love them all, the two Brixton women watching the Grand National I was literally crying to.

    The only ones I've not taken to is the vicar and the circle faced orange northern bird.

    The gay couple are no longer a couple btw

    See I had to turn it over when they were watching the grand national. Unnecessarily loud and playing up for the cameras.

    I think all the families/friends/couples are good to watch. The Siddiqui family for example bring some quiet calm to it amongst the louder participants. Haven't taken to the lad who swears all the time and talks in a whiny voice. Slightly perturbed by the family with the German dad.

    On the way to Blackpool, met the posh couple at the services, had pic taken with them as the kids love the show, on the way back we stopped off at service station and heyho they were there again, but I was in too bad a state to have a chat with them although a few did and they were top drawer. Once I asked for a photo on the way up, loads of people did and they were a good crack.
