A Welsh language version of the hit Channel 4 TV series Gogglebox is coming to our screens tomorrow, November 2.

Gogglebocs Cymru will air at 9pm on S4C, to coincide with the channel’s 40th birthday celebrations. 

Chwarel, the Bafta winning makers of The Great House Giveaway, for Channel 4 and and Ty am Ddim for S4C, have teamed up with Caernarfon-based production company, Cwmni Da to co-produce the show.  

“I’m so excited that this amazingly successful series is coming to S4C. It’s a great pleasure to have Gogglebocs Cymru as part of S4C’s 40th celebrations,” Llinos Griffin-Williams, S4C’s chief content officer, said. 

“It’s a fantastic TV format, which has captured the nation’s imagination.

“What better than a programme that brings us Welsh talent at grassroots level? Gogglebocs Cymru will extend a warm welcome into households around the country and beyond.
