Everyone likes Gogglebox, and everyone likes dogs.

So naturally, people were exceptionally happy when the two were combined last night in giant form. The dog in question, wonderfully named simply John, is owned by the McCormick family and made his debut on the Channel 4  on Friday as he showed off his array of skills which included giving the paw and somehow not destroying absolutely everything in his path. https://twitter.com/C4Gogglebox/status/969681582863912960 The St Bernard, shown above unleashing his signature trick of lifting up a single appendage, was a hit among viewers, many of whom remarked on what an absolute tank of a fella he is. https://twitter.com/BernardMcEldown/status/969738169360044032 https://twitter.com/piglet2602/status/969681371613589506 https://twitter.com/LewisRamos87/status/969681605878001664 https://twitter.com/Matts_Tweeting/status/969713810327076870 https://twitter.com/McCormicksGogg1/status/969903037333549056 If nothing else, this outpouring has shown us that Gogglebox viewers love their dogs, presumably if they have a name which makes them sound like they're your brother's mate, while also being roughly the size of your brother's mate. Good work, John. The most recent series of Gogglebox kicked off on Friday February 23 and will run for 15 episodes. It airs, of course, on Channel 4 and starts at 9pm, running for an hour. Stars of this series include The Tapper family; Stephen Webb and his mother Pat; the Siddiqui family; the Michael family; Linda and Peter McGarry, and the Woerdenweber family.
