Getting really tired of Ellie and Izzi’s stories of Aunty Margaret and co

I know. I genuinely don't give a flying duck about Auntie Margaret and Uncle Barry and the Crooked Billet.

(Antiques Road Show - I went to it once and your item is valued off camera. If they think there is a good story around it they'll refilm it in front of the crowd - hence people often looking underwhelmed when they hear the valuation. I was in the background crowd and we were all told to look suitably aghast at the reveal even though we all knew it 😂)
 
I actually muted the tv last night when they started on the latest tedious anecdote about Auntie Margaret or whoever.

As a poster on Digial Spy said the other thing they do is mentioning random names and random things about them, along the lines of...

- Becky Potter is afraid of heights.
- Isssssss she!

Yawn.

It's like they both think they are in a Victoria Wood or Peter Kaye sketch or something. Going on about 'buffets' and 't'carvery' :rolleyes:

Problem is, as Victoria Wood said to Maxine Peake, you're northern, don't be more Northern. They are hamming it up it feels for how Northern and Yorkshire they are, and it's just becoming parody rather than being natural Northerners.
 
I was watching them last night thinking, it’s as though they’re playing characters with a script. Why do they, & the producers, think we want to know or care about Auntie Maragaret or anyone else in their family? I don’t know them, I don’t care what they did, what they said, what they drank or whether they ate. It’s not funny. It’s boring!

I saw a post elsewhere that said it's like a script from The Royle Family. But what's the point of that, when it's supposed to be just normal conversation. On older episodes they used to go on and on and ON about food. But even that was less tiresome than Auntie Margaret and Becky Potter...

I wonder how it works with Gogglebox, do they sometimes decide to stop using goggleboxers. Obviously there are ones who decide to leave for one reason or another. But are there also some who are told, um, it's not you, it's me 😁

If so, I think that time has come with Ellie and Izzie.
 
Ah yes, I know there's more than Ellie and Izzie thst play to the cameras, it's almost easier to say who doesn't do it - the list is shorter. 😁

I like Giles and Mary. 😁 There's nobody actually that I dislike.
Jenny and Lee stage an awful lot of stuff now. As do Pete and Sophie, imo.

The tiresome woman with the son (newbies) didn't feature the last night, I think.
They might be okay yet if she settles down a bit.

I am still curious about whether people get axed, in some cases.
If there was to be a revamp or departures, I would miss the Siddiquis, the three Ts and Simon and Jane.
