Have seen the advert for the new series a few times now and I will be honest, I have no idea whatsoever who any of them are, have I been living in a cave or are they further down than Z list 'celebs'

Tends to be reality TV people, or people that have had their 15mins and desperate not to give it up.

I think a lot depends on the other type of content you consume, as the poster above points, you’re more likely to know them if you watch reality TV.

Mrs DG and I both enjoy ‘Gogglebox’ yes I know its rubbish, but can be very funny rubbish; the celebrity version, not amusing, despite what the participants may think.

We watch ‘Gogglebox’ to get an idea of what we might like to view/not view, we plan what we watch, rather than sitting in front of the television and watching it, I also don’t have a clue who most of them are.

Other threads “Noteworthy deaths” “Guess whose aged” often I have no idea, who the people are, and have to do a search; no I’m not trying to score “I’m cool points” I just don’t know who they are.

Noteworthy Deaths got changed by some posters who decided it shouldn’t just be celebs but anyone they think is important.

It’s turned in to a typical PH thread “What do you mean you’ve never heard of Herbert “Erbie” Fotherington-Pillocky? You must be inferior to me”.

I stopped watching the normal Gogglebox a few seasons ago and only watch the celebrity one. The season that was just on was pretty good. Stephen Mangan & Chris Packham stood out for me, they said exactly what I was thinking.

I swear that's clever film editing, and that the woman sitting next to Mangan is him in drag.

I never watch any reality tv so I guess that explains why

I've no doubt a certain K. Price would do it. Probably for no fee.

Nah, she should go on one of those 'botched bodies' shows.

I'm going to pitch "Z-listers crave publicity" - At least it'll be an honest pitch for a programme.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

It doesn't matter how bad a programme is, inserting the word 'celebrity' into the title is a sure-fire way of making it even worse.
