I think it maybe certain parts of Dublin. I've heard them being referred to as house coats before.

Though I'm from Dublin and always dressing gown to me.

Don’t know why but not really enjoying this season just seems very forced or flat. Maybe they are all trying to hard. Loved it every other year.

One half of the lesbian couple, the one sitting on the left (I think she's Dale?) has annoyed me a bit the last couple of weeks. I feels she's kinda saying silly stuff just for a reaction now, that comment about her wee turning into an icicle was a bit stupid I thought.

It's a dressing gown

Mrs Grufferty is an awful minx (just me?)

They are referred to as 'morning coat' in certain parts of Dublin.

It always amazes me the amount of debate that goes into the correct name for a dressing gown. In the last few years I have been in the room where it is discussed at length and have no idea why it matters so much to people. Saying that I have never known anyone under the age of 70 who wears one lounging in the sitting room until I moved to dublin. Have friends in there 30s now who put one on the minute they come home.

My nanny had a housecoat that she wore daily. It was not like a dressing gown which you would wear over your nightclothes before you got dressed.

The house coat was like an apron for all your clothes. Hilda Ogden in Coronation Street used to wear one.

That's exactly what I'd consider a housecoat, but I think they are called a pinny!!

A top comment.

"You could always marry....Twink"

Fully expecting some massive name, then the killer blow.

There is a radio advert for right price tiles at the moment and I’m sure it’s one of the cast of gogglebox

Did anyone see the French and Saunders skit of the Googlebox UK participants. Very good.

Surprised there were so few posts about last weeks episode, thought it was one of the better ones of the series. Fascinating to see some of the ladies talking so openly about having post-natal depression, particularly Ettie.

Yes, I saw this. It's very good. I'd love if they did more of the characters too.

I think that was in conjunction with mental health week too.

I think they both have their good points, and I’m also watching the Australian version

I love them both also,Tadgh and Ettie are my favourites on the Irish one and I love Jenny and Lee,Gyles and Mary,also Gary and Roman.

Yeah they are not funny at all and things they say are not related to anything . It’s like they are trying too hard to be funny but it’s coming out wrong for them.

I get the feeling some of this 'trying too hard' stuff for them and other participations on Ireland and UK shows are scripted, or at least, ideas 'planted' by producers to give them some usable material.

Yeah true. It is scripted, however the rest of the pairings and groups are capable of making use of “the planted ideas” they, however, are not.

I hope not. Maybe they will be on it this week. Fingers crossed. Seems they have too many new ones now, the ones we love are getting limited screen time. Love watching people watch telly.:pac:

They should have made a few more episodes of this instead of Darklands!
