Someone previously mentioned celebrity Gogglebox may use 'sets',suppose for practical reasons/security it makes sense. Something seemed very unnatural about them and Clair sounded different.
- Notice
According to her cleaning & laundry. As well as lunches with Danny Dyers wife,various trips with her other friends. I think she is now doing things for herself rather than 'Buckley 'brand.
They were in court last year a woman supposedly stalked them, found their house,made threats. Not sure what punishment she got

Yes he's ok I believe, but putting a
in a post with a child doesn't sit right with me, whether it was about football or not, or is it because he's in double figures now 
.I'm superstitious.

I've always wondered what Clare actually does. Apart from laundry and cleaning.
She seems bright enough so I don't get why she doesn't want more out of life.
I agree its got to be difficult, but James in particular is quick to jump for sponsors or begging for freebies. I remember him constantly begging for lego freebies,he was after one of the huge star wars kits, nearly £700,lego sent him an Eiffle Tower kit,you could tell he was disappointed . James loves all the free stuff,but doesnt want to put in the work required to film etc. I honestly think Claires had enough because she's probably left doing the bulk of the work,while he swans around playing the celeb. He wants easy money for minimal work. He whines about the play,rather than thinking it's work earning him money. I genuinely believe he'd be happy at home with Claire, because in his mind he's missing out when he's not with her. Social media was another source of income, they've even ditched the podcast. Claire appears to see her roll as taking care of the home and James is responsible for providing financially, sadly he doesn't appear to want to put the work in. They appear to have a nice lifestyle,id be worried if my husband or partner had the same mindset as James when it comes to work. His agent/manager will also take his/her cut. Cameos will only last for so long while he keeps himself relevant. He openly admits he's turned down lots of work, now he rarely gets asked to audition ,never mind actual job offersThey must reeeally be fed up struggling for content. I'm willing to bet James wasn't necessarily dashing to film himself in his hotel in that last one, giving the play by play about how they had to go get his clothes, and then even filming the interview. I bet that was more a matter of Clair not wanting/ having any content at home and it was either telling him here you take it and come up with something, or nothing.
I always think it would be really rough to be a youtuber once you start not to enjoy it or lack content or if the thing you're trying to film very much varies depending on many factors. Like they're not always out or travelling like some, or have jobs that they can regularly film everything on that they know people click on every time, but sometimes when the fodder for the vlogs IS your life and you're burning out, it's bound to be like this.
Also James could do more work related stuff and literally just tag the camera along all day but he doesn't at all seem like one who'd wanna do that. I honestly don't even blame him; I think them getting their start during the pandemic is what made it seem like they could "go all the way" with this thing, and with YT as saturated as it is with people trying to get their subs up in competition, it's just gonna be an uphill battle it seems.
I did YT for a good few years trying to promote my channel, myself.. etc also in as honest a way as possible, like without clickbait etc and it was just soul-sucking trying to keep up, and I'm just a nobody! so I know they maybe thought they could take it to like 500-600k or 1mil subs or something but it's just suuuper hard, especially if you're starting to slow down or you don't have some sort of provocative content, probably why they pushed them to get into reels.

I've just seen his post. He really is clueless, obviously £40 to him is clearly negligible, but as you correctly said some people are struggling financially. Neither him or his wife want to put any effort in, but want the money. Since they joined a management company, they seem lazier whilst also being greedier. They were more relatable when they first started vlogging

I think Claire thinks the boys "supercool" with his hair long and makes home more edgyIn general i really like the Buckley's
i enjoy their channel most of the time but I have to say i think Jude's hair looks awful it's very messy and straggly and as boy mum myself I wouldn't personally be sending my son to school looking like that just on the grounds of head lice, it's going to get in his eyes all day and he just looks so bloody unkempt.
If like @Telly Fanatic dared to suggest it's because he may issues around getting it cut then fair enough equally Clair may well in fact have her own reasons for not wanting him to have it short but for me it's the sending your kids out in the world looking like scruffy urchins that I can't abide and if that's 'unhinged' then so be it
the boys likely been brainwashed into thinking he's elite with his long hair.Sarah Inghams the same, she thinks she so in trend because her boys hairs long
, when we all know that the boy actually looks bloody ridiculous.When they first started vlogging, during lockdown at christmas they did a gift exchange at his sisters house in the garden. He also talked about his mum,but everything does appear to revolve around Claires family.

Oh they'll of been there, it's definitely a real friendship Jo Dyer has regularly had to deal with Clair pissed up vomiting all over her hallway then having to clean up after her .
I can't believe a tour would sell well at all...I listened to their pod for a bit as someone who'd never seen their vlogs and was underwhelmed. Packed full of adverts and poor content. I don't think they can be pulling many new listeners in or converting people into long-term listeners so can't imagine who would buy tour tickets 
I think the vlogs will be sporadic just to keep people interested because without vlogs their fan base is probably quite small. I was reading in the comments how many people were only interested in vlogs,I think podcasts are OK,but can become boring if the content doesn't have variety. I wonder if there stay was gifted,apparently the first couple of times were,transparency isn't their strong point which is disappointing considering they have a management team,you'd expect a far more professional way of doing business. This vlog was definitely to push their 2 live shows. Always makes me laugh when he says Clairs been working hard arranging these shows,shes probably had a couple of phone calls or meetings but I very much doubt shes liased with venues and organised everything.

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I saw this clip and thought 'what is going on with her mouth?'But View what on earth was she doing with her mouth last night
She looked like a goldfish or a blow up doll mouth, can she not close it
Just seen a trailer for their podcast,James was talking about leaving sports day on the hottest day of the year, the look of anger on Clairs face couldn't be hidden,she looked as if she wanted to say'shut the F..k up,dickhead'. In this weeks vlog,James gave us a glimpse of just how fragile his ego is,he made his Trager ham and one of the boys said it was too sweet,as always James makes passive aggressive comments trying to 'act ', I think he was really annoyed and wasn't actually acting. James gets quite an angry look when he's really peed off. I get the impression he can be quite a moody,difficult man if he's not centre of attention or being told he's amazing. I genuinely dont know how Clair tolerates him,no amount of money is worth living like that. Both of them are probably having to sell themselves and their family on social media because his acting work isnt guaranteed or reliable,a bit like him I suppose.

What's going on in her child's mind to draw this, it's a mess and disturbed looking

If she hadn't met ( gold dug her way) James, she would be in a council house on UC
I will never understand when someone is naturally pretty, they have to use these lip fillers etc, but I suppose it's the way of the world now, but most of them all end up looking like each other!!
