The series capturing households' instant reactions to what they are watching on TV from the comfort of their own sofas returns for a 12th run

We love Friday nights, but they’re even more enjoyable when Gogglebox is on C4, and it returns for its 12th glorious series tonight.

There are some familiar faces, such as the bone dry Sid Siddiqui and his sons, Baasit and Umar (pictured above), from Derby.

Also, there's the return of hilarious naive/knowing best friends Mary and Marina from Bristol.

Mary and Marina return with their opinions on the week's TV

But we can expect to see some new characters having their say on the last seven days’ telly, too.

The show is recorded close to the wire so at the time of going to press we don’t know what shows the sofa/armchair reviewers will have watched.

But there’s more than a good chance the return of The X Factor will be among them.
