Too much filler, not enough killer #Gogglebox.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAnother viewer pointed out: \"This episode of #gogglebox isn't new!\"\n\nA third commented: \"#Gogglebox This is a repeat, shouldn't be too.\"\n\nOthers were even more direct in their criticism of the Channel 4 scheduling decision.\n\n\"WTAF, why is this a repeat #gogglebox?\" one fan asked. (sic)\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nAnother wrote: \"Disappointed it's best bits. Why bother. Just end the series. #gogglebox.\"\n\nOne viewer summed up their frustration by writing: \"The disappointment of turning on #gogglebox only to find its a compilation of other episodes in the series... Might as well go to bed.\"\n\nThe backlash came despite Gogglebox favourites Jenny Newby and Lee Riley warning fans that the latest run was coming to an end.\n\nThe pair shared a video message on social media ahead of Friday night's broadcast, thanking viewers for their support throughout the series.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * Bruno Tonioli takes thinly-veiled swipe at axed BBC Strictly dancers as he urges 'new blood' on show\n  * Jamie Vardy shares reason for launching own TV series with wife Rebekah after 'resisting' approaches\n  * Jeremy Clarkson drops Lisa Hogan marriage hint as pair approach relationship milestone\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMr Riley told followers: \"Well guys, that's it, the last of the show this evening.\n\n\"I hope you've enjoyed all 16 weeks as much as we have.
