Gogglebox fans stunned as Abbie and Georgia don't know who Charles Dickens is

Fans of Gogglebox found themselves amazed at the fact that duo Abbie and Georgia appeared to struggle with knowing who Charles Dickens is - whilst watching Great Expectations - on Friday's episode (March 31).

Broadcaster Channel 4 tasked the girls with watching the BBC's mini-series adaption of Dickens' all-time classic, and whilst the episode was underway the duo tried to work out who wrote it.

Abbie said: "Do you know who Charles Dickens is?" to which Georgia responded: "Do I hell?"

"I'm sure he writes a book called Twit and Tw*t," Abbie continued. "... Or Twit and Tw*t... Twit and Twig or something." Georgia laughed before asking her: "What books have you been reading?"

Fans of the programme were stunned at the fact that they could not recall who the author was or any of his well-known works, and took to Twitter to vent, as reported ChronicleLive. "Even I know who charles Dickens is," one user said.

Another confused user questioned: "Why are they all acting as if they have zero clue about Great Expectations ? They must know the story!! They must have heard of it!"

"Imagine never having heard of Charles Dickens," one posted.

One viewer commented: "Oh f**k off these NE girls playing super dumb pretending they haven’t heard of Dickens."

"I can't cope," another said while one fan wrote: "Charles Dickens, author of Twit and Tw*t. ffs."
