About this product

Product Information

A year in the life of Gogglebox's Giles and Mary, as Giles is swamped by Mary's hoarding, Mary is a pawn in the Easel Wars, Giles frames Mary in a dishwasher showdown and Mary struggles with vexatious laundry. Everybody is a somebody. Giles is a countryman who relishes solitude. His wife Mary thrives in company and enjoys frequent escapes to London. After thirty years in a marriage of opposites, Giles and Mary have adapted to a life of domestic misunderstandings within comical misadventures. In The Diary of Two Nobodies, you will have the unique opportunity to discover, first hand, what occurs when a man who sees himself as a cross between Mr Bean and Basil Fawlty shares his life with a woman who identifies closely with the Queen. Featuring original illustrations by the artist Giles, himself.

A good fun read
I loved this book. When you’re reading it you can literally imagine Mary and Giles having the conversations. It has a real feel good factor and I’ve already lent it to my daughter for her and her boyfriend to enjoy too.

A thoroughly enjoyable read
This is a delightful "peep behind the scenes" of a couple who are fun to watch on Gogglebox, the writing styles are comfortable but sadly the book seems to be too short, leaving me wanting more - much more. That is not advice not to read it - it really is very enjoyable

In my opinion they are the only people on Gogglebox that makes me smile and giggle this is also reflected in the book now that must be good for you, well it is for me. A good read.

Love this book
A Diary of Two Nobodies gives a delightful insight into the world of Mary and Giles. It is an articulate, zany, honest and very funny peek into their every day lives and one of the few books that I will definitely be reading again.

As entertaining as Giles and Mary are on Gobblebox.
This is a very well written diary by a couple who have been married for years but beggars the question how have they stayed together for so long when it appears they are like chalk and cheese???. Perhaps that’s their secret!.
