Gogglebox viewers call for spin off show for Channel 4 favourite following ‘funniest moment ever’

Gogglebox fans want one of the Channel 4 series’ show favourites to star in their own spin off programme.

The call came on social media during last night’s (Friday April 14) episode following one moment that viewers in hysterics.

And that hilarity was prompted by the Malones‘ hijinks as they watched Last Woman on Earth with Sara Pascoe.

‘Dave get off me!’

Sara Pascoe’s programme followed her as she visited Greece to learn about the “whistling” language residents of a local community use to communicate across valleys.

But when Tom Sr fancied having a go at demonstrating his own whistling ability, he came in for more of a reaction than he might have expected. That’s because the family’s beloved pet Rottweiler Dave reacted to his master’s signal. And immediately pounced, sending Tom Sr toppling off his sofa seat.

“[Blank]head! [Blank]head!” Tom pretended to fume after collapsing on the lounge floor with his legs flailing in the air.

“[Blank] it! Dave get off me!”

The antics left both Julie and their son spluttering with laughter at Tom Sr. Although Julie did also show concern for the customary plate of sweet treats perched on the pouf which Dave nearly sent flying with his whistle-induced exuberance.

Viewers were also very amused – with some social media commentators going as far as to hail the silliness as Gogglebox‘s ‘funniest moment ever’.
