Another week of TV viewing with the Goggleboxers. What gems were going to flicker across their screen this week?

Whatever programmes were featured, we knew we’d love it. Because there’s this reason we like watching the show:

And then there’s this one:

And, actually, the second one is way more important. Here’s what they watched.

1. The Mafia with Trevor McDonald

This series is exactly what you think it is – veteran news broadcaster Sir Trev traipses around America interviewing big-time gangsters. The prospect of dear old Trev rubbing shoulders with murderous mobsters was all a bit much for poor Scarlett Moffat in County Durham.

But she needn’t have worried.

2. Antiques Roadshow

The stalwart antiques programme (which is becoming somewhat of an antique itself) was back for a new series. Some nice silverware turned up.

However the woman who brought it in, who was descended from the antique’s maker, didn’t know what a silversmith was. Scarlett found this very amusing.

One of the Goggleboxers reckoned she could have her own priceless artefact in the attic. Prompting this reaction from her mate.

The Siddiqui boys asked their dad whether he’d got any antiques from Pakistan stashed away somewhere, at which point it was pointed out that Pakistan’s only about 60 years old. No antiques from there then.

3. David Cameron’s shocking kitchen revelations

This week David Cameron controversially announced he wasn’t looking for a third term – before he’d even won his second! The revelation, delivered in the PM’s kitchen, caused some pretty strong reactions.

Then talk turned to Home Secretary Theresa May. The boys in Brighton were surprise fans.

Although not so much for her look.

The Twittersphere groaned as the actual Home Secretary was evaluated for her looks rather than her policies, as Cameron had been.

The Siddiquis also had their views.

4. The Royals

This was a trashy comedy-drama that tried to mix the royal family and Footballers’ Wives. Turns out the Goggleboxers have a soft spot for the monarchy, and weren’t massive fans of this new show.

And actually, had it gone too far altogether?

If not knowing your royal trivia was treason, the Tapper daughter would be in the Tower by now.

5. Natural World

The long-running nature show featured macaques this week.

As with most nature docs, there was a heart-wrenching combination of uber cute and desperately sad.

Sorry, make that cute, sad, and “hilarious”.

Although we feel we should still stress how much peril the monkey was in.

6. Poldark

Poldark’s back – and now he’s played by sexy dwarf Aidan Turner (that’s a reference to his role in The Hobbit, we’re aware Aidan Turner isn’t actually a dwarf). But no matter who starred, some people just weren’t that fussed.

However, by “some people” we certainly didn’t mean most people.

The plot seemed to revolve around Aidan taking advantage of a terrified maid who just wanted to try on a new dress. Amazingly no one seemed to mind about the abuse of power going on here, because Aidan was just so “smouldering” (and presumably because it happened in the olden days).

There was, however, a momentary lapse of logic with regards to the maid’s dress.

As bustles were heaving, a new Gogglebox pair chimed in with this gem.

While some viewers were more worried about Aidan’s scything technique than the fact he was scything sans shirt.

7. The eclipse

Britain went dark for a bit this week. The Goggleboxers reacted.

Mostly though, reactions centred around how daft people looked trying to see the “cosmic coincidence”.

8. The reburial of Richard III

The Gogglebox segment on Richard III’s reburial in Leicester cathedral unearthed little except the fact most Goggleboxers knew very little about Richard III. Or how history works.

9. Cape Fear

The 90s version of the psychological thriller was on the telly this week. A lot of the Goggleboxers were a little uneasy watching Robert DeNiro playing a psycho stalker.

Not everyone seemed to be as tense though. At least not Scarlett, who wins our “Quip of the Week” with this:

Meanwhile one of the North London Goggleboxers thought they might be watching a cookery show.

Maybe there’ll be a harrowing documentary about that next week? Either way we know where we’re going for our commentary.
