“We will get like an organised photo on a media wall that you will never see again.”

Symon’s advice on the show

How do you keep food costs under control day to day?

Set a hard per-meal budget (e.g., around $15) when buying groceries for a meal, and batch-cook dinners that yield multiple servings to bring the per-meal cost down to roughly $5.

Questions these interviews answer

Drawn from the episode transcripts.

How did Adam Densten and Symon Lovett get cast on Gogglebox?

A casting producer with a clipboard approached their friend group of ten at the Turf Club pub in Flemington in 2014; everyone declined except Symon, and Adam later found her contact details in his pocket and followed up, kicking off their application process including a Skype interview.

Why is Symon's name spelled with a Y?

His parents simply chose to spell it that way; he says he actually dislikes the more common 'Simon with an I' spelling, calling it a bit vanilla, and has met other Y-spelled Simons including a Logies security guard and Sandra Sully's husband.
