channel 4 has announced that it has finally come up with a format to rival the success of gogglebox, the documentary-style reality show it created in 2013 that allows viewers to watch various families as they watch tv. 




<u+201c>we toyed with various ideas,<u+201d> said a channel 4 executive, <u+201c>including celebrity gogglebox. though obviously, we don<u+2019>t mean actual celebrities <u+2013> just people who<u+2019>ve been in an earlier series of gogglebox. that counts, right? 




<u+201c>then someone suggested i<u+2019>m a sentient life-form, get me out of here, in which we<u+2019>d watch people realising there<u+2019>s more to life than watching tv. and someone else suggested we just film ourselves struggling to squeeze ever more mileage out of what was a lame idea to begin with. 




<u+201c>but we finally settled on gogglebox<u+2019>s little brother. to be shown immediately after gogglebox, it will allow viewers to watch the participants of gogglebox as they watch themselves on gogglebox. 




<u+201c>what<u+2019>s more, we<u+2019>ll encourage viewers to video themselves as they watch it and email it to us to win a prize. the winner will be whoever<u+2019>s bonded with their sofa at subatomic level.<u+201d> share this story...
