I watched a few episodes over the weekend.

Come on. Nobody believes it's for real surely if you had a husband like that you'd never let him go on tv.

Dh agrees that they are actors and it's all an elaborate hoax Grin

Everyone else I've spoken to thinks this is a hoax, but DH and I saw a thing called 'The Real Office Christmas Party' about 2 years ago and it was about them. BIL & SIL think we're deluded for thinking it is real.

Does nobody else remember this having been screened before. It is a repeat isn't it.

I wanted to know if are they still in business ?

The Armstrongs is pure TV genius. By far the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Hard to believe they are real, but if they're not, it's the greatest hoax ever!
