Dougie the dog pawses for his favourites in the latest FreeviewPlus TV commercial via Jungle
Dougie the dog steals the limelight in the latest TVC in Freeview’s Keeping up with the Freemans campaign via Jungle.
Viewers are allowed a glimpse into the secret life of the Freeman’s pet when Dougie catches up on his favourite shows while his humans are out. Dougie binges on catch up TV and live sport with the easy-to-use interface.
Says Liz Ross, CEO, Freeview: “Every member of the family can now keep their favourite shows on live and Catch Up TV – all at the touch of a button. Dougie the dog brings our easy-to-use proposition to life in a fun and engaging way.”
The latest ad is the third in a major campaign which brings to life the Hybrid TV service, FreeviewPlus, through the typical Aussie Freeman family.

1. Is this just a poor rip-off of Gogglebox that falls flat?
2. If it’s not, wouldn’t have Gogglebox been a much better idea?
3. Did they pitch using the Gogglebox characters but got knocked back by client?
4. Did they try to get the Gogglebox characters but couldn’t afford them or did Channel Ten play hardball on copyright and usage?
We’d love to know.

It’s a dog….simple as that.
What type of dogs is it?
What breed of dog . australian shepherd or border collie
My dog goes crazy at this commercial, she absolutely hates seeing dougie on the TV, she barks and lunges at him everytime
Stupid ad, reinforcing the new age male stereotype of weakness. Pick that mangy mut up by the scruff of the neck and turf it out the front door.
Dougie is the most beautiful dog and so lovable.I wish all advs were as enjoyable and funny as these.
Anyone who doesn’t love Dougie is a stinker.
the
freeman Family TV ads are great. Dougie the dog is the MOST. I didn’t know that dogs were allowed to eat Popcorn! My favourites ads are the “racing down the stairs to get to the TV first, and the put the paw on the remote control, and then eyes fully concentrating on the show, will brook no interfernce from the human on the couch!!
I also like the little “appreciative “innuendos between wife and freeman dad.
More Dougie please. I wonder whether he has a separate Fan Club?
How does Dougie get the popcorn when no one is home? Is he smart enough to use a microwave?
Dougie is koolie
Never mind how he learns the remote how the hell did he make himself popcorn lol
Duggie is just beautiful. He is the best thing in those commercials. He makes it bearable. Just luv him😀🎉😀
what’s doggies real name and who really looks after him
Who played Mrs Freeman in the original ad? Her smile is lovely. Why is she in no more?
