About this listen

As founding cast members of hit television show Gogglebox, Leon and June won the hearts of a nation with their warm humour and unending love for each other.

When Leon sadly died at Christmas 2017, Gogglebox viewers were bereft, calling for a state funeral for our national treasure. In this touching memoir she looks back at all of the laughter and love they have shared together; letting us in on the secrets to a truly happy marriage in this wonderful celebration of two lives well lived.

Together for 63 years, coming to terms with life without Leon has been a difficult process for June. But the many treasured memories of their marriage will never leave her. From when, aged 18, she first laid eyes on Leon at teacher training college in 1955; their journey to marry when their parents disapproved; happy recollections of 1960s Liverpool; to building a loving home and family together before finding fame as pensioners.

Firm favourites of Gogglebox, they were loved for their gentle teasing, Leon's cheeky gags and humorous rants, and June's unerring patience and caring touch. Leon and June have experienced their fair share of highs and lows, but they always got through everything together. As Leon always said, 'As long as June's here, I'm all right.'

Leon and June were fantastically entertaining, and this book is good easy listening. It is just a shame that Leon couldn't also contribute to the book to tell his side of their adventures together.

Wonderful couple! Interesting to hear their story.

Oddly I was never a fan of Leon, finding his tone and words often cringeworthy and inappropriate. However, this book made me realise that as June had no problem with these traits then neither should I. They clearly loved each other and the recounting of their lives was well done in both word and their narration by Rhian, whose voice and diction is so much like June’s that I didn’t realise it was not her until reading the details at the end. Thank you for a lovely read.
