It was on March 7, 2013 that a new reality show made its Channel 4 debut.
Gogglebox was to prove a whole new concept. At first people were perplexed at the thought of sitting at home watching on TV other people watching the TV. But seeing everyday families like themselves soon became compulsive viewing.
Fast-forward a decade, with Gogglebox about to hit its big 10-year milestone this spring, and the now multi-award-winning series is proving just as popular. Viewers tend to see many of the regular Gogglebox families as friends and many have favourites whose sharp wit and banter they like or whose comments and reactions to the previous week's TV shows might be much like their own.
