Take a number of, probably very nice people, but just so boring. Let them watch telly programs and comment on them, unfortunately the comments are so insipid and uninspiring it is hard to watch. It is a sad indictment of our Twitter/Facebook age where non-entities can become TV gods and celebs despite a total lack of charisma or intelligence or talent of any kind. In our constantly on-line age this is what passes for entertainment and that is just sad. Do not just switch on to get company or discussion find some real friends to talk to and switch of this dross.

This is a Channel 4 series in which we watch people as they watch television in their own homes in various places in the UK during the previous week.This is a good idea, which could work like a real version of The Royle Family. However, it has little of that sitcom's humour, and isn't entertaining most of the time - because most of the participants don't say much that's worth saying.

Words fail me.They put a posh couple, a gay couple, a loud couple, a typical family, etc etc, and they all act stupid and play up for the cameras, some shouting and screaming at the TV, as you do, but only there are numerous cameras in their faces. The northern girl went on to win 'i'm a celebrity, 2016', book to follow no doubt , It really is dire. Avoid at all costs! If you watch this rubbish, you really must be bored out of tour mind. Go for a jog, save yourself! People just don't behave like they don't! And people apparently want to sit in their living room, watching other people sit in their living room, watching junk TV? How does crap like this ever get aired? Its pathetic!

I saw the advert for this programme, and from the title I knew it was something to do with television, and then I read a review for it saying that it was like a real-life version of The Royle Family, and when I tried it I was so glad I watched it. Narrated by Caroline Aherne (from The Royle Family), television at some time or another is part of everybody's life in Great Britain, and this documentaries takes a number of people from all walks of life, all couples, families or friends with various characteristics and ways of life, whether they be white, black, Asian, young, middle-aged, old, straight, gay, and we watch them watch television. They basically watch the most recent television, i.e. from the week, and we see their reactions, physical and comments, to the memorable and most talked about moments from significant programmes, i.e. news, dramas, soap operas, documentaries, comedy, charity events, reality television, natural history, medical programmes, cooking and food programmes, and much more. As each episode goes on we get to know, and many cases enjoy, watching the people as they watch what we watched and see their quips and discussions of what was going on, and in many cases you can associate and agree with what they are saying, or you can just laugh at it. This programme is very reminiscent of many other experimental "look at ourselves" documentaries, it is fascinating viewing because of the various opinions and expressions people have to programmes you may or may not know, it is a good way to catch up with what has been going on, and it is funny to watch the bickering and funny things said and done while the telly is on, especially with the distinctive characters, e.g. the gay couple, manly blokes and the posh drunks, a fantastic documentary. Very good!
