Was great to see Celeb gogglebox, a good bit of fun seeing them at home in their own environments, agree another round to close out the season would be good. I haven’t watched regular gogglebox for a while but this might just have pulled me back in.
‘Showtrial/ definitely tanking-only 1 ep left next week-wonder if it’ll be bumped late?
Second highest lift in BVOD. I guess people prefer to watch in their own time. It’s a well made drama that did well in UK.
If the audience isn’t watching it live, it’s of little use to a commercial FTA station or its advertisers.
OzTAM numbers only include those that watched ads and on BVOD you can’t ff the ads anyway.
There’s a time factor for some ads and promotions-seeing them nearly a week later isn’t effective and if it really didn’t matter, 7 wouldn’t bother showing it for 2.5 hours in primetime to poor figures and then repeating it again late night.
You’ve watched BVOD yes? The ads are up to date there. If you watch McLeod’s Daughters they aren’t playing ads or promos from 1994. Anyway, let’s move on, agreed the Overnights were poor.
Loved the celebrity version, maybe they should do another one off at the conclusion of the new upcoming season. Bob Irwin was good, along with Tim and Anthony.
I watched this program for a while and found that the episode where normal people on recent google box were far more entertaining then this lot. Please don’t repeat it again go back to the original ones.
Keith,I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Gogglebox with the non celebrities is definitely better…can’t beat Lee and Keith. However, the Celeb version was better than I expected.
Gogglebox was really good. I thought the comedians were funnier just being themselves than when they try to be funny!
Loved Celebrity Gogglebox. I hope they do another episode.
