Irish Gogglebox is on the way at last

There was talk a couple of years ago that TV3 were planning on producing an Irish version of the Channel 4 hit show Gogglebox, and now it seems the wheels are finally in motion.

For those that haven't seen it, the series is essentially about watching people watch TV. It's all very meta. It may sound like a simple enough premise but the show has gone on to win a BAFTA and made stars of some of their regular couch commentators.

TV3 are currently looking for their own versions of Dom and Steph with casting set to begin shortly. Here's hoping they find Ireland's answer to Scarlett Moffat while they're at it. Or maybe even get this pair of hunzos involved?

Irish Gogglebox is set to premiere on TV3 this autumn.
