Gogglebox Season 14 Episode 5 Episode 5

As the latest season of Gogglebox continues, the fifth episode takes viewers on another entertaining journey through the week's television offerings. The beloved families and friends settle onto their couches to offer their opinions on the latest news, reality shows, dramas and documentaries to grace their screens.

Kicking off the episode, the Goggleboxers settle in to watch the latest news coverage of the pandemic, with the regular cast members sharing their thoughts on how the situation is being handled by politicians and medical experts alike. As the conversation turns to the current state of the world, there's a mixture of frustration, confusion and sadness expressed by the families as they ponder what effect the virus will have on their lives and communities.

Next up, there's a focus on some of the week's most talked-about programs, including the return of popular reality series Love Island, which has been relocated to South Africa this season. As the couples are introduced, the Goggleboxers can't help but offer up their opinions on who will end up coupling up, and who they think will be this year's villains.

Away from the villa, there's also discussion around the success of Netflix's hit true-crime series The Pharmacist. A show that tells the story of a grieving father-turned-detective who took on a pharmaceutical industry and an opioid epidemic in America after the death of his son. As the Goggleboxers watch the story unfold, they share their thoughts on the importance of the series, as well as their fears and concerns around the widespread use of opioids in society.

Another show that is given plenty of airtime in Episode 5 is Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, which returned to screens for its 17th series. This popular entertainment show is always a firm favorite with the Gogglebox families, and this season is no exception, with the latest episode featuring segments such as Ant and Dec's high-octane End of the Show Show and a hilarious undercover stunt that sees the duo posing as wax figures in Madame Tussauds.

As always, there's no shortage of hilarious and cringe-worthy moments in Episode 5. The Goggleboxers can barely contain their laughter as they watch a contestant on Mastermind hilariously confuse his biblical knowledge, while also feeling sympathetic for the contestants on 'Race Across the World' who are struggling with the emotional toll of the physical challenges they face.

As the episode draws to an end, the families reflect on some of the week's more touching programming, including the documentary 'The Last Igloo', which tells the story of a community of Inuit hunters in Northern Greenland trying to maintain their traditional way of life. Also, the reality show'999 What's Your Emergency' which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the emergency services and the challenges they face daily.
