From There’s Something About Miriam to Sex Box, we thought we were cringed out.
But tonight, the BBC is bringing us some potential mortifying gold in the shape of Alone With The In-Laws
The premise is simple, Gogglebox star Kate Bottley is drafted in to help Chris and Stacey prepare for married life after their wedding this summer:
So they head off and live with their in-laws for a while
BBC BBC
It’s on BBC Two tonight at 8pm, but the TV critics across the water have already had a gawk – and the reports are in.
The Guardian calls it “gruesomely watchable”:
OK, we can feel the unbearable conversations already.
Each member of the couple has a “questionnaire” about how the in-laws deal with chores, sex and finance

Here we go, the good stuff.
The Sun takes us through one such conversation:
It’s made by the producer of Channel 4′s Wife Swap, and looks set to hit on similar domestic themes for our entertainment

Another gem of a conversation from tonight’s episode still concentrates on sex.
Well now.
Can you handle it?
