Why would you want to watch people pretending to act naturally knowing that the more 'outrageous' they act in relation to what they're watching the more chance the footage will appear on TV? Truly the lowest common denominator in terms of shit to watch on TV. TV will eat itself.

Next you'll have a Gogglebox where the people being filmed are watching Gogglebox.

Surely your eyes talking about prime ministers question time?
George Osbourne pretending to be deeply engaging with people while making pasties in some northern factory is more convincing acting in front of a camera than the people on Gogglebox who have apparently forgotten that the camera was ever there.

Googlebox is just adorable. There's just some brilliant people on it. I give you June and Leon, the Saddiquis, Scarlett, 'Natty' and 'Natty', etc.

Why feel guilt over Gogglebox? It's the only programme that the Mrs and I contrive to wake our nine-year-old up on a regular basis because we can't control our laughter.

Great programme with some fantastic observations and all the characters are likeable in their own way......apart from that female vicar who gets right on my Erthas

The gays in Brighton - oh god its Brighton so of course they HAD to be gay. Y-A-W-N. And I'm sorry, but I hate feet. So just the sight of those gays bloody bare feet INCESSANTLY shoved in front of the camera has me turning over immediately.
Its contrived crapola. Nobody on that show can ever know what the frick they are talking about, because they're constantly flapping their gums through the whole thing. If I'm actually going to watch something on TV, then the last thing I want is a shitload of commentary from every other facker in the room offering their 2p's in the £'s worth on every bloody thing. Shut yer yap and BORE OFF.

To be fair, there is another (non-gay) family from Brighton on there. The thing that annoys me isn't their feet, but the fact they are just so THICK. They are likeable enough fellas and look like they shouldn't be so stupid, but they are. Ignorance annoys me!

I've been converted and, while it's so obviously scripted - or at best contrived - I actually quite like it.
The trick is to not take it too seriously - they obviously don't
