Who watches - and who do you like/not like?  

[MargoTester]

Jenny and Lee and Dave and Shirley are myself favourites 

[barry1010]

Not me, tried it and it didn't appeal

[bednobs]

"myself favourites" - what does that mean?

mine are the sidiqquis

[smurfchops]

Cannot stand the awful cackling Sophie.  Used to love Stephen and his husband.  Love Jenny and Lee.

[jollyroger66]

Like Giles and Mary but can't stand the gobby sisters from Leeds

[Canary42]

I stopped watching it years ago - not sure why, novelty wore off I suppose. But I did find it amusing. Can't remember any names though.  

Perhaps I'll start watching it again so I can contribute instead of just waffling 😊

[MargoTester]

Oh terribly sorry bednobs I'm sure you realise it was a typo but thanks so much for pointing it out

[jollyroger66]

Haha  😁

The Siddiquis are far above the rest imo.  Baasit is an IT teacher in a secondary school whilst Umar works for the NHS, he has been a Biomedical Scientist in Microbiology at the Royal Derby Hospital for 17 years.  I also like Giles and Mary.

I can't stand the brother and sister who are so snotty about almost everything and everyone and think they are so smart themselves.  Nor can I stand the Brighton hairdresser guy, Stephen, who snorts and cracks up at his own "jokes".  His husband must be relieved they are divorcing.

[ladybirder]

Do you watch it Naomi and if so who are your favourites?

[Arksided]

I like most of them favourites are Abbie and Georgia From Durham (Geordi accents) I've said many times if I lived with Giiles for more than a week he'd have been buried under the patio years ago 

[andy-hughes]

I have never watched it, I can't see the appeal.

But hats off to whoever invented a format that is so cheap to make, and hugely popular. 

[Vagus]

I really don't like the daughter who sits with her mum and dad amongst all that crochet and knitted stuff, can't remember her name.

[Arksided]

Helena?

[ladybirder]

Agree Vagus.  She's never got anything good to say about anybody.

[naomi24]

I do watch it, LB.  It makes me laugh so much.  I wish they wouldn't swear so much though.  Pete and his little sister Sophie are proper know-alls so they get on my pip a bit - and I think both Giles and Mary are long-suffering in putting up with each other.  Either would drive me daft.  Abbey and her friend Georgia are hilarious.  A programme about Columbia - 'We live near there' says Abbey.  I think she meant Cumbria.  

My husband hates it.

[ladybirder]

You're right about the swearing Naomi.  When Giles swore once Mary nearly had a heart attack.

Pete and his little sister can't not swear every time they open their mouths.

[Hopkirk]

I do watch sometimes, but wonder why when the awful Giles and Mary come on. How I haven't damaged my TV I don't know.
