Publisher's Summary:
What is life for Gogglebox's Giles and Mary outside the willow-patterned cocoon?
Giles is a countryman who relishes solitude. His wife, Mary, thrives in company and enjoys frequent escapes to London.
After 30 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.
Accompanying this diary, is a candid and amusing Audible Sessions interview with Giles and Mary, in which they discuss how they made it onto Gogglebox, what the most annoying things about each other are, and why 'nutty' is their go-to term of endearment.

Brilliant
I absolutely loved this book. I am a huge follower of Gogglebox and of these two. I love Giles protestations but if I was married to him I would probably kill him lol.
Please can we have some more Gogglebox stories.
Delightful
I loved every second of this. It provided an oasis of deliciousness during my dreary commute throughout a stressful week. I think I am going to miss Mary and Giles very much and hope they will give us another diary next year. Refreshing, humorous, touching and utterly human.
absolutely fantastic! love these two!
Giles and Mary are enchanting in their honesty about longevity in marriage. I hope you get that programme about gardening Giles, I would watch it!
Wonderful, a tonic!
Please write more books Mary and Giles, this was heaven to listen to, a must buy!
Marriage - eject or sit it out?
Before Gogglebox, Giles Wood and Mary Killen could never have believed that the intricacies of their marriage of opposites would be aired before millions. And now here is their year-long Diary of Two Nobodies read here by themselves. I just loved it wonderful sharp listening for gloomy days.
Giles is an artist but it takes him a year to complete a painting, partly because since journalist Mary works frenetically, he keeps the show on the road in their draughty Wiltshire cottage and conscientiously nurtures all the soil, winged life and trees in the garden. As a child Giles learned the unfortunate trick that being annoying earned him attention a behaviour he has continued through 30 years of spectacular marital clashes. (In the past a succession of much-loved live-in helpers have acted as buffers between them). Mary is not blameless she has never managed to pass a driving test and admits to squirting Pledge through the keyhole to ward off Giles.
Whilst Giles loathes social occasions, Mary is a party-holic, but they are both brimful of ideas. What makes this such rewarding listening is that their arguments and furies arising from their differences are measured, intellectual and absolutely reasonable, and beneath all is a heart-warming and binding love, mutual respect and companionship. Giles is completely splendid in his trenchant views. Happy to stay in the 70s, he deplores an awful lot about society (and why not?), including social kissing, hugging, ubiquitous welling up as well as the despicable trend of bucket lists.
