Did anybody see the program on Channel 4 about Steph and Dom's son?

I've only seen ads but they seem fairly nice on it and them trying to get help for there son who can have up to 100 seizures a day.

I watched it , behind their brash veneer they are such lovely parents .But who struck me most was his caring , loving kind sister who was only 15 and so good with Max

It took a while to warm to it but now I firmly believe Googlebox Ireland is so much better than Gogglebox Classic/Channel 4

It feels a lot more genuine, like C4 was in the early seasons. Before they got notions and a bit of fame.

C4 feels almost scripted now in some parts and that they're not even watching the shows, just skimming through to the major parts and completely overreacting to things. Basically doing all they can to make sure they get in the edit as much as possible. The brother and sister(with the silly laugh) duo embody all that is wrong with the show now.

If only Virgin Media would realise that, and produce more of the series. Apart from a few specials, which presumably have already been filmed, there's no guarantee of a new series yet.

Instead they are pipping money into Ireland's Got Talent!

Really? Surprised to hear that. I assumed the few specials were going to lead onto a new series. I would think it's one of their highest rated shows. It's always the highest trend on twitter whenever it's on. The last series didn't seem to be very long compared to C4

No sign of a new series?
Current series of UK Googlebox is just awful, would much prefer to be watching the Irish version.

I saw a Virgin One add the other day and they showed some of the Gogglebox Ireland crew.
So hopefully there is one coming, I wouldn't imagine the show being too expensive to keep on going.

I read on one of the casts twitter pages that it won't be back until September.

Think they have about 4 specials there were already wrapped up ages ago - that follow the same type of Best Of 80s & 90s that they've previously showed in January.

I don’t understand why they finished up so early this year. As someone mentioned , it shouldn’t cost too much to produce. I too watched the Ch4 one at the weekend - not half as good

Fair play to her. I like her in it. Wonder can she still take part in the show now?

Surely not. I recall on the UK version the Michael family had to stop appearing on it as the father was running for ukip. They're back again as he didn't get elected.

He seems like such an odd candidate for UKIP!

I'd have thought so too.

I can remember him being quite positive about Ukip Inrun up to Brexit and could not understand why , he is an immigrant from cypress with a gay son , most of his fellow ukip candidates would want to burn his family at a stake

Craic on the Box
Looking back at some of the most amusing moments on Gogglebox Ireland in 2018, including coverage of a donut craze in West Dublin on Virgin Media News.

Jesus, you'd think this'd be cheap enough for Virgin Media to produce without need for re-cap episodes!

Maz2016

It’s a wonder they don’t repeat old news bulletins

iseegirls

The lack of anything home-produced or new on the Virgin Media Channels has been alarming over the past few months - since the name change really.

take a look at the schedule this week - and see how much ITV shows are on the 3 channels. Take them away, and all you're left with is news, studio shows like 6 O'Clock Show, Elaine and Ireland AM. Virtually nothing between 7pm-11pm every night is Irish.

There making another season!

Best show they have by a mile, and homegrown. Can't believe we have to wait until next year for more.

I know one of the guys on the show and they mentioned filming starts next week, which would mean the show should be back on in the next 2 weeks!!
