That sounds a bit (a lot) mad!

tea and coffee

I was really surprised - and delighted- that it was filmed
I really was not expecting that with SD and covid and restrictions etc.

If RTE produced this everybody would be in mask's and hand sanitizing their hands every few minutes followed by the contestants throwing the cake at the judges!

I watch for the pavlova not this palava.

First there was custard gate. Then there was icecream gate... Now pineapple-upside-down gate!!

I liked lottie. And Peter. And one of the marks.

She's an absolute clone of Candice :eek:

I'm miles behind, but already I'm not particularly liking Matt (I miss Sandi ). The badminton playing young fella seems awfully nice and got off to a great start.

Pineapple upside-down cake..... yummmmmmm

HeidiHeidi

The blue battenburg though. :eek:
There's a reason blue is not generally a food colour, and that cake amply demonstrated why!

I really like Matt, though I do miss Sandi. I agree with the rest of your post and your following post!

HeidiHeidi

Ah here...... cream on top of PUD cake??? That's all sorts of wrong.....

I like Matt too i’d say he just has to find his place on the show.

Is anyone still watching Ch4. Sandi has a new show called the write offs. She’s as lovely as ever. I remember her way back on No73.

I think Matt has to try and be the funny man, whereas Noel will just naturally put a smile on most peoples faces. It'll be interesting to see how they rub off each other.

I do like the young guy, he's this years Henry. Still trying to get to know the rest, although I think the blonde who made the Freddie Mercury, (although to me it looked like Frank Sidebottoms head) - is going to be the most annoying.

Mr E

I think Matt and Noel worked really well together. Matt was genuinely funny in some parts (and yes, a bit forced in others).

I think the Boris opening was kind of bad timing after Boris' real address that happened just before...

Pineapple upside down cake... upside down on the floor. Great TV.

I liked Lottie and Sura, but they've got a great mix of people all round.

I like the posh bloke who plays the flute.

Mr E

181 people watching the most light hearted show on TV found a reason to complain.

"181 complaints about last night's GBBO return - with the "vast majority" referring to a sketch mimicking the Prime Minister's recent press conferences."

^^^^^ soggy bottomers

Some people just watch TV to find something to complain about!
Quite liking Matt. Wasn't sure I would but Sandi is now a distant memory

jos28

Still feel like I'm being unfaithful to Mary Berry by watching C4 Bakeoff but have to say that I really enjoyed last night. I liked Matt and the bakers seemed to like him. I liked Lottie and I think she might get THE handshake from Sir Hollywood. Good mix of bakers and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series.

Earthhorse

I like Sandi but not on Bake Off. I’m liking Matt as a replacement but it’s obviously early days.

I thought it was a shame Loreya went. She had a bit of wit to her.

miamee

That was a fun episode, great to have the Bake Off back in all it's soggy-bottomed glory :pac: I like all of them so far, none of them seem annoying or nasty though I think Dave (the guy whose cake ended up on the floor?) might be a bit dour and the least craic of them all.

Extra slice is on tonight. On the fence about the programme TBH. Tom Allen is back - grates a bit!

Pathethic.
I hope Matt Lucas come on next week with a statement along the lines of
" with regards to last weeks show. If you didnt like it and complained, what are you still watching for. now go watch something else"
cut directly to start of show marquee and show start.

yes, the first season was a great addition. But then they extended it to an hour which was too long and Tom Allen's jokes are very predictible,

He grates on me a LOT!

But I'll record, and watch later, fast forwarding through his bits!

Have to say I really enjoy it - I have the concentration span of a goldfish so it's a reminder of all I'll have forgotten in the whole two days since I saw the show!

Tom Allen is on now and I had to mute him

So basically people are complaining about a sketch which had already been recorded and edited into the show because it came after an address by the mop-headed buffoon which was announced at the last minute and as a result pushed Bake Off back 15 minutes. People are idiots.

Thats just the Brits for you......i like Matt, he wouldnt have been my choice, maybe he was the cheapest, but i'm sure he'll get funnier over the weeks...

gmisk

Loved Matt hosting you can tell him and Noel are mates.
Great bunch of contestants, all pretty likeable.

I personally find Tom Allen hilarious he is so quick witted....but....small doses...and no way does extra slice need to be so long!

Obvious Desperate Breakfasts

A nonsense elimination.

That was producer interference, IMO. Keep the more entertaining contestant. THIS is the kind of thing that has alienated me to the Channel 4 version. You can see the commercial pressures seeping in.

I said the exact same thing to my husband!! Very frustrating.

Happy4all

I thought there was a bit of, keep the greater personality in

But, having said that, I thought they did the opposite the week before with the girl with the blue bubble gum cake.
