Gogglebox fans all say the same thing minutes before Channel 4 show ends

FuriousGogglebox viewers have vowed to boycott the series after watching tonight's episode (Friday 19 September).

The telly critics treated fans to their reactions to a disturbing Netflix documentary on catfishing and an emotional moment from Davina McCall's Long Lost Family.

However, as the conversation turned to current affairs at the end of the episode, viewers were left less than impressed.

The likes of sisters Ellie and Izzi, best friends Jenny and Lee, and pals Abbie and Georgia tuned in to watch news coverage of Tommy Robinson's rally last weekend.

Several of them were disgruntled to see Elon Musk make an appearance, while others shared their views on the march.

"When will people work out that immigrants aren't the problem?" Gogglebox star Helena asked, adding: "My brain can't understand that level of tribalism."

"I don't think you were brought up like that, anyway," her mum replied, as Helena agreed and laughed: "No, you've never said 'Britain are for the British' over dinner to me, I've noticed that."

Meanwhile, new couple Andrew and Alfie said: "For f**ks sake," saying the influence Tommy Robinson has is "frightening".

"I don't think this has United the Nation, this is thuggery," Lee said.

Ellie and Izzi added that they were "genuinely scared" of the people attending the marches, with Ellie saying: "I feel like they're more likely to be violent towards me as an individual and a woman as a migrant is."

Meanwhile, other Gogglebox stars took a different view, with Annie telling husband Ronnie: "The people I know who went to it are definitely not far-right fascists."

As the show ended, Tremaine told his brother Twaine and Tristan: "When I was young, that flag said, 'Don't come in this pub', that flag said, 'Don't come down this road', that flag says, 'I don't like you'. I grew up in a time when it was used for that and now it's being used for that again."

One person wrote on X: "#Gogglebox turned from entertainment to political in tonight's show. Switched off, not sure I'll bother in future."

Another fumed: "Spent years watching Gogglebox but tonight was the last night after the ‘coverage’ of the @TRobinsonNewEra event on Saturday. Woke propaganda at its best. Did they get extra money for supporting the far far far left?"

Someone else said: "What have the t**ts at @Channel4 done to #gogglebox ! Use to be top television but now unfortunately bullshit left propaganda! Such a shame!"

"Love #Gogglebox hate when the narrative has to be sold," another wrote.

Someone else seethed: "Should be goggle lefts! extreme bias in force, pathetic to watch, let people have their own opinions not what's popular among brainwashed sheep. PS I don't like either side."

One viewer claimed: "#Gogglebox is a left wing propaganda tool but tonight they really went to a new level with their finishing piece. A smear on the patriots and people who care about their nation marching at the #UniteTheKingdom rally. Completely biased production. The left are losing."

"Won't be watching anymore," one wrote, though someone took a different view, writing: "Another great episode, it gets better every week."

Another added: "The end of #gogglebox hit hard tonight. Using a flag to gesture that people from other cultures are not welcome. Just wrong. It's regression."

Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4
