Goggleboxers React To Richard E. Grant’s Celebrity Traitors BLUNDER | Gogglebox | Channel 4
Celebrity contestants are watching each other for clues, while Gogglebox’s households are watching them. Channel 4’s upload, billed around Richard E. Grant’s Celebrity Traitors “blunder,” reached about 30,000 views in its first eleven hours, putting it on course for a first day more than ten times the channel’s usual start for a regular video.
Despite that tightly focused title, this is a broad Gogglebox installment, first shown on October 2. The Celebrity Traitors gets an early slot before the households turn to Strictly Come Dancing, Wonka’s The Golden Ticket, The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down and The Real Rooneys. Antiques Roadshow rounds out the viewing menu.
The discussion beneath it also wanders beyond Grant. One viewer draws a distinction between Ross Kemp and his EastEnders persona, Grant Mitchell, a reminder of how strongly a television role can stick to an actor. Another asks who Jude and Sherry are, trying to keep up with Gogglebox’s own expanding cast of armchair critics.
