Fans of Gogglebox found themselves amazed at the fact that duo Abbie and Georgia appeared to struggle with knowing who Charles Dickens is - whilst watching Great Expectations - on Friday's episode (March 31).
Broadcaster Channel 4 tasked the girls with watching the BBC's mini-series adaption of Dickens' all-time classic, and whilst the episode was underway the duo tried to work out who wrote it.
Abbie said: "Do you know who Charles Dickens is?" to which Georgia responded: "Do I hell?"

"I'm sure he writes a book called Twit and Tw*t," Abbie continued. "... Or Twit and Tw*t... Twit and Twig or something." Georgia laughed before asking her: "What books have you been reading?"
Fans of the programme were stunned at the fact that they could not recall who the author was or any of his well-known works, and took to Twitter to vent, as reported ChronicleLive. "Even I know who charles Dickens is," one user said.
Another confused user questioned: "Why are they all acting as if they have zero clue about Great Expectations ? They must know the story!! They must have heard of it!"
"Imagine never having heard of Charles Dickens," one posted.
One viewer commented: "Oh f**k off these NE girls playing super dumb pretending they haven’t heard of Dickens."
"I can't cope," another said while one fan wrote: "Charles Dickens, author of Twit and Tw*t. ffs."
