Viewers of Gogglebox tonight (April 14) on Channel 4 almost fell off their own chairs with laughter after seeing Tom Malone Snr forced over the arm of his sofa by family pooch Dave.
The Malones, along with the other cast members of the hit reality programme, sat themselves down to watch a bit of BBC Two's 'Last Woman on Earth with Sara Pascoe', as she travels around the world looking into some of the world's most dangerous and rare jobs.
In this episode, she was in Greece, learning how to speak sfyria, a whistled version of spoken Greek that allows villagers to communicate across vast distances from valley to valley.

Many of the viewers were greatly amused by the segment, and most of them attempted it themselves to varying degrees of success. The funniest, though, was no doubt dad Tom from The Malones.
Mum Julie initially cracked a joke saying there's no point in whistling as she can "shout really far", to which Tom agreed much to the chagrin of his wife.
Slightly later on, Tom gave his best attempt at a slightly piecemeal version of sfyria, when he stated: "I can whistle" as Julie warned him not to.
Tom stuffed his finger into his mouth and gave it a blast, when pooch Dave immediately jerked to attention and bounded onto Tom. Taken by surprise, the Rottweiler and Tom wrestled playfully and suddenly toppled over the arm of the sofa, with only the sound of Tom shouting: "F*ck it! Dave get off me, Dave get off me!"
As his feet poked back up above from behind the sofa, and, slightly later, the reproachful face of Dave peered out, Julie and son Shaun howled with laughter at the sudden turn of events.
Viewers of the programme seemed to agree, and took to Twitter to show their mirth. One user said: "Dave wants to go for walkies… #gogglebox"
Another said: "@TheMalonesGB Omg Dave looked so proud that he took Tom out and then sat on him. We love our Dave #gogglebox @C4Gogglebox"
A third said: "Dave just letting Tom know who the boss of the house is #gogglebox". A fourth said: "Poor Dave always gets in trouble with Tom #Gogglebox"
"Dave probably thought Dad Malone was whistling for his walks #gogglebox", said another.
"Genuinely my all-time #Gogglebox highlight. Dave rules. @TheMalonesGB", piped up another.
