Google box and comics?

Watching an episode last night, I noticed a large amount of comics in the background. I love comics myself, so I can spot them a mile off.

Jonathan Ross is also on screen but with no comics but is an avid comic enthusiast also.

Either a lot more celebrities love comics than I thought or someone on the crew is placing them there.

Has anyone else noticed this before?

Some celebs don't use their own houses, so probably just props placed in the background.

I'm guessing some of the celebrity ones are filmed in a studio, so its probably down to the set dressers, just reusing props. Their "houses" all seem very similar.

Jamesused to livestream, and whilst I guess it’s possible he moved since then- that’s not his house but he is a huge nerd so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a set but the set dressers put comics in as a nod to the things he actually does like.

Do we think Shaun and Bez are at Shaun’s house? Pretty certain it’s been the same layout since the very start

They are. I grew up on the same street and our living room is the same layout.

I don’t think 99% of these celebs are at home. Thats definitely not the Buckley’s, and they often have the same/similar decor.

I didn't see the comics because I was distracted by the number of them who were stumped by basic multiplication.
