GOGGLEBOX WELCOMES FIVE NEW FAMILIES FOR NEW SERIES ON CHANNEL 4

Sisters from Edinburgh, a family from Surrey, friends from Glasgow, a married couple from the Cotswolds, and a mother and daughter-in-law from Yorkshire are joining Channel 4’s legendary Gogglebox family.

The new families and friends are as follows: Friends Jake (27) and Calum (31), from Glasgow; The Gordon family, Andre (49), Sarah (47) and their daughter Chee (25) from Surrey; Married couple Andrew (62) and Alfie (32) from The Cotswolds; Mother and daughter-in-law, Sara (87) and Lara (58) from Yorkshire; Sisters, Rosie (68) and Susie (70) from Edinburgh.

They will join regular Goggleboxers Jenny and Lee, The Siddiquis, The Malones, Giles and Mary, Ellie and Izzi, David and Shirley, the Plummers, Amira and Amani, the Worthingtons, Pete and Sophie, Abbie and Georgia, Sue and Steve, Simon and Jane, Ronnie and Annie, Danielle and Daniella, Teresa and Anita and Michael, Sally, Jake and Harry.

Each episode is filmed over the previous seven days, covering that week’s TV and news highlights. In each household, Gogglebox will capture their instant reactions, love/hate relationships and fierce debates on the best and worst television shows of the past week – all from the comfort of their sofas.

From the Saturday night juggernauts and the week’s big soaps, to documentaries and gritty drama, the Gogglebox households offer witty, insightful, feisty and sometimes emotional critiques of the week’s popular and topical TV shows. Their reviews could also be interrupted by breaking news stories and controversial TV events – subjects the outspoken households certainly won’t be shying away from.

With friends, families and flatmates across the UK watching an average of four hours and two minutes of TV every day, Gogglebox will show the best of the nation's telly-loving households to capture their time spent in front of the box and find out what Britain really thinks.

Mike Cotton, Creative Director, for Studio Lambert said: ''It's a delight to welcome some new households to the Gogglebox family. Along with our much loved returning cast, we can't wait to join them in their living rooms and hear their candid thoughts on this weeks most talked about TV.''

Gogglebox returns Friday 5th September at 9pm on Channel 4.
