Gogglebox is returning to our screens tonight after becoming a surprise hit last year. The show, which follows people watching telly from the point of view of the telly itself, might sound like a bit of postmodern satire from a Ballard novel – yet any meta commentary about how we watch TV was thankfully wrapped up in a fuzzy coat of humanity. From bubbly-quaffing Steph and Dom in their gold palace to homely retired teachers June and Leon, these were people inviting you into their lives through the very medium you shared – the TV set as Alice’s looking glass, with a nice cup of tea waiting for you on the other side.
To celebrate those brilliant human stories at the heart of the show, we’re giving you the opportunity to Gogglebox yourselves. We want you to send us your TV-watching selfie photos, along with a paragraph about how you like to watch TV – the shows you love, those you hate, and any TV-watching idiosyncrasies you might have.
However you like to watch telly – whether that’s in front of an old-fashioned TV set, in bed on a laptop, or out an about on your phone, send us your pics and testimonies and we’ll publish the best next week.
