Gogglebox is a British reality show that has aired on Channel 4 since 7 March 2013. The show features a number of families and groups of friends from around England and Wales, who react to British television shows from their own homes. The show won a BAFTA award in 2014 and a National Television Award in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Series 9 will air from 24 February 2017.
A "Brexit Special" episode of Gogglebox aired on 3 August 2016, in which the families commented on the recent EU referendum and other current events in British politics.
A version of the show featuring only children, called Gogglesprogs, launched as a Christmas special on Christmas Day 2015, and was followed by a full-length series, which began airing on 17 June 2016.
Gogglebox was narrated from its launch on 7 March 2013 until 1 April 2016 by Caroline Aherne. Aherne was diagnosed with lung cancer in late 2015, which led to her eventual death on 2 July 2016. Craig Cash regularly filled in for Aherne when she was unavailable, and took over the role as narrator permanently on 8 April 2016.
The show is a production of Studio Lambert, a company run by British media executive Stephen Lambert, who was behind other Channel 4 shows such as Faking It, Wife Swap, Undercover Boss and The Secret Millionaire. The executive producer is Tania Alexander, who said the original idea was for the show to be a "mix of Harry Hill and The Royle Family".
