Channel 4 Announce Gogglesprogs

Channel 4 has confirmed it has commissioned six-part series, Gogglesprogs.

The series, which will transmit in 2016, has been announced ahead of a Christmas special – which will air on Christmas Day – which sees a group of children star in their own edition of Channel 4 show, Gogglebox.

Gogglesprogs will follow the children as they provide their own opinions on a range of television programmes.

Freya Sampson, Executive Producer, said: "There is something special about watching these children give their very different opinions in an utterly honest and ultimately hilarious way. The special is funny, heart-warming, and has the charm of the original Gogglebox series but the way the children interact gives it a different perspective which finds you both laughing and crying.

"The relationships between them all really pulls at your heart strings in parts and it's guaranteed to make you happy you're on the sofa with your loved ones this Christmas. We're delighted that Channel 4 has loved them all as much as we have and we can continue to bring their inimitable take on the world of TV to viewers in the series for 2016."

Studio Lambert will make the 6x60' series. Commissioned by Channel 4's Head of Specialist, David Glover, said: "It's really good, with interesting new levels of misunderstandings and insights from the children's minds. The footage we are getting is both very funny and also at times really moving."
