    Default Gogglebox.

    Just wondering has anyone ever watched Gogglebox on Channel 4 ?

    I have watched snippets of it on occasion and I don't believe I have ever seen an Irish or Scottish family on it.

    In these pc days it seems that the pc brigade have forgotten about us and our Scottish cousins.

    Imagine the uproar if there were no Black or Asian families represented.

    Just an observation. Anyone else notice anything unusual on popular TV programmes?
    Are we there yet ?

    I've never seen the Irish version, didn't even know it existed. Can't get Virgin Media through the Sky dish North of the border here and my aerial is banjaxed but I might see it someday.

    Since Brexit I don't think inclusiveness is high up their list

    Some of the ones on Gogglebox(Ch4) showed just how little they understood the EU and furthermore how little they cared.

    Great fun? Reality TV? Goggle box couldn't be further from reality. You never see anyone picking their nose and flicking snot on it. Never see anyone having a good scratch. Or using derogatory slurs. Put a camera on top of your telly for an hour that's going to broadcast on national television and I guarantee you'll sit up straight in your chair and keep your hands out of your trousers. It's painfully contrite stuff, unnatural, nonsense
