Gogglebox Ireland, which continues on TV3 night at 9.30pm, features two great Dublin-based characters in the brand new 12-week series.
Angela and Eileen, who live in Castleknock, met at their local retirement club. Eileen spotted newcomer Angela, offered her a seat beside her and the rest is history.
Dubliner Angela moved back from Wexford a few years ago and enrolled as a mature student, studying Retail in Pearse College and winning two awards for public speaking.
Eileen is originally from Kilkenny and spent most of her life as a children’s and psychiatric nurse.
Since retiring, Eileen has been very active and takes advantage of her free travel pass, nipping into town for a coffee or on a mission to buy wool for her next knitting project.
Angela’s favourite TV programmes are ‘Midsomer Murders’, ‘Come Dine With Me’ and ‘Miss Marple’ but she hates ‘Big Brother’ and ‘The X Factor’.
Eileen loves to watch ‘Ear to the Ground’ and ‘The Chase’.
Gogglebox Ireland will introduce colourful and entertaining recurring couples, families and friends from all over Ireland, who will all say it like it is from the comfort of their own homes.
Get ready for lots of laughs as Gogglebox Ireland captures an Irish perspective on what is happening around the world as it shows the role TV plays in people’s lives.
With narration from actress/comedian Deirdre O’Kane and ‘Mr’s Brown’s Boys’ star Rory Cowan, this has quickly become compulsive viewing.
