Baffled Gogglebox fans have slammed Channel 4 for showing a clip of a series they cancelled. The armchair critics were shown an episode of The Circle USA during the latest instalment.
The Circle started out life as a Channel 4 show, airing on Channel 4 for three seasons until it was cancelled in May 2021. However, as the US version of the show appeared on Gogglebox, fans were quick to call for the show to be brought back.
Fans took to Twitter to comment. @superTV247 tweeted: “The AUDACITY of Channel 4 showing #TheCircle USA on #Gogglebox after cancelling our much superior version.”

Gogglebox fan @_erinz_ agreed, commenting: “That’s exactly what I thought. I’m still not over it being cancelled.”
Meanwhile @turntheboxon fumed: “Channel 4 showing #TheCircle on #Gogglebox when they axed it,” before adding: “Literally me watching @Channel4 showing #TheCircle on #Gogglebox after they cancelled it. BRING IT BACK.”
@elliot_gonzalez added: “Good to see #TheCircle back on Channel 4… shame though that it’s only a clip of the (brilliant) Netflix US series on #Gogglebox . Easily the best reality TV format since Big Brother.”
And Twitter user @Wandoful declared: “The worst decision Channel 4 ever made was axing The Circle UK. The Circle USA is so good. #BringItBack”
Gogglebox airs on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4 and All 4
