My Telly HEAVEN!
...with Billie and Greg Shepherd
With the second series of Billie & Greg: The Family Diaries under way on ITVBe, the couple talk us through their top telly…
What television dramas have you enjoyed recently?
Greg Peaky Blinders…
Billie We love that. And No Return – Sheridan Smith played that so well.
Greg And I’m on the new series of Queen Of The South on Netflix.
And what shows do you like to relax in front of?
Billie We love Gogglebox, and I used to love Keeping Up With The Kardashians – I do like reality shows…
Greg Yeah, I’ve been watching Below Deck Mediterranean.
Billie Another one I like is Dream Home Makeovers With Sophie Robinson.
What were your favourite TV shows growing up?
Billie I used to love Hollyoaks!
Greg I’m showing my age now, but The Bill, Red Dwarf, Bottom. I feel as if the soaps were a lot bigger when we were younger. I suppose there were fewer channels then, weren’t there?
Billie Religiously in my house, seven o’clock was Emmerdale; half-seven was Coronation Street, eight o’clock was EastEnders. But now you can watch them whenever you want. It’s different now, isn’t it?
Was there also a kids’ cartoon you particularly loved?
Greg He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe.
Billie Me and my sister Samantha were actually on Sooty & Co when we were really young, on a beach in Spain! And I used to love Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and Goosebumps on Nickelodeon.
Is there anyone on TV who has inspired you?
Billie Ant and Dec. You just can’t get better presenters than those two – all the different shows they’ve done.
Greg I think she wants us to be the new Ant and Dec!
If you could choose to be in any other programme, what would it be?
Billie I would love to do Strictly. I know I’ve done Dancing On Ice, but I had the accident and it didn’t go to plan, so I’d love to do another show like that. Greg I’d like to go in the jungle!
