Gogglecops on the case
MOTHER of God, now we’re suckin’ diesel, as Line of Duty’s Ted Hastings says when his team are finally getting somewhere.
Adrian Dunbar, who plays the no-nonsense top cop, joins co-stars Vicky McClure and Martin Compston on the sofa for this Gogglebox celeb special for charity.
The Gogglecops are part of an exciting line-up for this edition of the show, which still feels as fresh and funny as the day it first aired.
“We had such a laugh ,” says Martin, better known for scrutinising criminals than TV shows as DS Steve Arnott. Viewers love nothing more than seeing famous people in their natural habitat, slobbing out in tracksuit bottoms on the sofa and enjoying their favourite snacks.
Producers have remained tight lipped about the line-up, although The Who legend Roger Daltrey let it slip that he will be taking part as one of the armchair critics. Who will be sitting alongside The Who, that is the question? On another sofa in another house, comedian Mo Gilligan and film actor Babatunde Aleshe are among the famous faces hitting the couch, analysing everything from the entertainment juggernauts to the biggest news stories, hard-hitting dramas and gritty documentaries. Elsewhere, actor and comedian
David Mitchell and his Only Connect presenter wife Victoria Coren Mitchell are also signed up to join the show.
Other names to join in the fun are singers Craig David and his friend, Youtuber and rapper KSI. The celebs won’t necessarily give the most insight, but they will laugh, cry and yell at the TV, just like the rest of us do.
And the whole event will support Stand Up To Cancer, to help fund life-saving research.
Watching TV has never been so good for you...
