Recently got hooked on a show called Gogglebox, which I understand will soon be adapted for several international audiences. On paper it sounds like real scraping of the barrel reality TV stuff but in practice it's one of the funniest things I've seen on television for a long time. Often find myself laughing out loud despite being on my own.

They have roughly a dozen groups who presumably auditioned beforehand. Basically the show is just footage of them watching and commenting on the TV of that week. I know, I know, stick with it. Because they get so much footage but edit it down to a 45 minute show, you just get a collection of some genuinely great remarks by real people - and you really do feel the domestic aspect of it. Think about it - when you're home with your family watching tv, someone must come out with a witty remark.

The highlight is this posh couple who's crude sexual remarks counter their upper class mannerisms spectacularly. Sorry for the shit quality.



Anyway, keep posted for your own national versions of this. Can't promise it'll work (besides The Office...what has?) but give it a go.
