[Oma]

[Nanto2girls]

I do as well. i think quite a few of our members like it.

[Gemini]

Can't wait

I've never watched it since it changed channels - I thought it wouldn't seem the same without Mary Berry - but I might give it a go this time.

[Plantaholic]

I shall be watching it.

[Clover]

Me too. It’ll be different but just as enjoyable I’m sure.

I read in the radio times that they are all living in a biosphere in Essex. They will be living there for six weeks. There is a separate area for them to practise as they would have done at home. They even have kennels for their dogs. All the food packages were left under UV lights and sent by courier and then they had to be cleaned again. All luggage, food and deliveries were deep cleaned before they could enter the estate. It is very interesting, worth buying the Radio Times.

[Gemini]

Gosh, I didn't know any of the that FQ!

[Gemini]

Oh my goodness, I laughed so much last night!

[Oma]

It was so funny some of the model heads hahaha , that Black girls woman looked hideous Freddie Mercury OMG hahahaha
Felt sorry for the girl who knocked that guys cakes over she was so upset , even when she won her heat she couldnt enjoy it could she ,
It was a accident these things happen poor girl ,

[Gemini]

Yes you could see it really upset her.

The David Bowie one was funny too!

[Daisy]

Can you imagine how difficult it must be to make a cake bust though!!! It took me right back to the days of making various things for DSs' birthdays - I think Concorde was pretty difficult, but those on the Bake Off were in a different league! I felt sorry for the contestant who knocked the guy's cakes over as well. Even when she won the heat her eyes were still red from crying.

I think they were all being very ambitious with all the bakes - imagine trying to work out the Battenberg star pattern, or the buildings one.

I thought Matt Lucas was very good - I think he'll be an asset to the show. I'd only watched one previous Channel 4 episode and thought Sandy Toksvig and Prue Leith didn't seem to gel very well, but Matt seemed to work well with everybody.

[Oma]

Daisy he's the type of person who i think can get on with anybody ,
nobody likes change but it keeps it fresh changing presenters i think .

[Daisy]

You're right, Oma, but some combinations seem to work better than others. There seem to be a lot of people not happy about the changes on Question of Sport, although it's not something I watch. OH likes it but he says it won't be the same without Sue Barker.
