    It has a bit. 😖

    Matt grates on me a little- he seems like a nice guy, but his strange jokes falling flat while the contestants smile politely and tumbleweed rolls by is uncomfortable every time.

    Plus, Mexican week? Halloween week? That odd bread week where they made pizzas and pastries? No, no. Stick with the classics. Tacos are not baked goods, and nobody wants to cut into a lovely frosted cake to find it stuffed with shrimp and herring. 🤢 The showstoppers looked more like bush-tucker trials that week. 😂

    I'm enjoying it but it's nowhere as near as good as last year. Standard not as high as previous years imo.

    Exactly, for me it's the mexican and Halloween themed weeks that irked me, there's very little baking in Mexican week.

    The last two years, everyone in the tent was in a bubble, so the relationships between them all came through on screen, that's missing this year. Plus, they are trying too hard to have different themed weeks every year. I think it's time to hit the reset button and go back to basics.

    This looks like it will be fun and as a Marvel fan I’m very excited to see it

    Food Network's online schedule is only 7 days ahead, so we should be able to see tomorrow if they bring Christmas shows in on 01/11. That really starts the serious countdown for me.

    It may actually be 14 days schedule on Sky if you pay for that, but the channel is free and I don't!

    I updated my EPG yesterday just to check this and yes, they are starting their Christmas cookery shows from 01/11. I really hope they have some new shows this year, most of what they show, I have seen plenty of times before. It won't stop me watching them again though! I can't resist any sort of Christmas baking shows.

    Fantastic.

    I've probably watched the most recent Jamie Oliver Christmas show about ten times at this stage, and I'm slightly obsessed with the decoration in one of the older Nigella ones.

    I'm a Celeb back Nov 6th, earlier this year due to the World Cup.

    I think they wanted to avoid the latter stages of the WC

    What time are the WC games going to be on at? Will they clash with UK primetime.

    Trailer looks good too!

    Although what’s up with Tim Allen’s voice?

    Looks really good! I'd say the voice is due to a mix of Botox and veneers

    How many Santa Clause films is that now? I've only ever seen the original one. 😄

    There’s 3 of them. I’ve only seen the first 2. The 3rd is meant to be spectacularly bad.

    Was that the one with Martin short? If so it was awful.

    Christmas movies by streaming service. There’s a lot to get stuck into.

    Anyone fans of the Santa Clause movies, the Santa Clauses Series has started streaming on Netflix and it’s not bad at all. Very easy watch.

    Haven't got to start watching it yet, hopefully this weekend.

    Strange it's on Disney and Netflix, usually new stuff is only on one or the other.
