We’re into the final days of voting for the Virgin Media Must-See Moment of 2020 – the only award voted for by the great British public. And our journey travelling around the country speaking to the nation about the TV moments that mattered from last year is almost at an end.

 

Speaking of armchair critics, the final nominee is the families of Gogglebox reacting to the thing that most of us spent 2020 watching – the news. We caught up with fans of the show to find out why we love it so much.

Gogglebox – Reactions to Boris Johnson’s press conference

The nation’s armchair critics offer up their opinions on the memorable moment a tousle-haired Boris Johnson returns to work for his post-hospitalisation press conference.

 

The Gogglebox families react scathingly to Johnson’s attempted call to arms, as he describes the coronavirus as an “unexpected mugger”.

 

They become increasingly puzzled by the Government's hazy plans for the future of lockdown while debating the need for continued caution versus their desire to get down to the pub!
