Great British Bake Off 2017

Anyone going to be watching the Channel 4 version?

[Kaz]

I'll give it a go, would be unfair not to really, but am still sad to be losing the old line up

[TheOstrich]

I have enquired, and Mrs O says not in any way.

She thinks it's too formulaic, the things they create are too much of a concoction, you can't do them at home, she doesn't like the fact some poor beggar has to leave every week, and Come Dine With Me was much better because you could get the recipes, well at least it was better until it went crazy, and anyway "Murder She Wrote" is doing a rerun from episode 1 and she'd rather watch that.

Well I did ask ...

[Workingman]

Not bad at all.

Some of the Show Stoppers were amazing!

Bananaramen - loved it.

[Kaz]

Watching on the player some time this weekend, but will be back when I've seen it

[Diflower]

I enjoyed it
Yes, some of those illusion cakes were brilliant!

No-one in their right mind will ever make a mini roll, seeing how much work they are, when you can go out and buy a boxful

I watched it but to be fair I'm not a big fan anyway some of the cakes are amazing but it's just to over the top but I didn't like the comedian never seen him ever and all those adverts drive me mad it was Oki can take it or leave it really

[JoM]

He always looks like he could do with a good wash Saundra, which is a bit off-putting if he's presenting a food programme!

I enjoyed last nights show and am enjoying the 'new team'. I think they work well together and also think that now not being on BBC they have a teeny bit more leeway with their innuendo's

Saundra, the ad breaks are perfect for popping to the loo, topping up the wine glass, getting another snack... etc. The old one on the BBC I'd always have to pause
