👗 Sewing Bee 👗

I'm looking forward to it

Ooh thanks for the tip.

Who is Kiel?

Oh found him with a quick google.

Keill.

I do wish we could edit our own posts for spelling.

Great! Except I'm abroad for the first 4 episodes. 😔

Great news. (Just in time for my birthday 🥰). ButI will have to Google Kiell?

Kiell Smith-Bynoe has appeared on a few TV quizzes recently, and is known for appearances in Ghost and Seth Lets Flats (neither of which I have watched). He seems a nice natured chap, but doubt whether he has any sewing knowledge.

Fantastic.. I like Kiell, I thought he did OK on the Christmas episode.

I wasn't Sara Pascoe's biggest fan so I don't mind a change as long as they leave Esme and Patrick alone. I still remember the teacher who taught me needlework at Grammar School. My needle invariably disappeared down the cracks of the parquet flooring and she once told me, in front of the whole class, that I held my needle like a cow with a poker. I wonder if teachers would get away with that these days.

My needlework teacher said on my report “Calendargirl must learn to work and not talk in a practical lesson”

An accurate statement.

RIP Mrs Brown.

Hated sewing, still struggle to sew on a button.

I love the sewing bee. Thanks for the heads up.

Kiell Smith-Bynoewas on House of Games a while back. He seemed very personable.

I liked the idea of the show and loved Patrick and Mary but the next season it was too PC, too samey and people were put on there not for their sewing skills but because they were a bit “alternative”. Never watch it now.

We've had some diverse people on but they've all been very talented. I couldn't take to Sarah - she was far too "Look at me being funny" Looking forward to seeing Patrick and Esme again.

Kiell is a very funny man. 😂

I had to Google him

Yes, I know who he is now, he was the husband in Ghosts 🙂

I don’t sew, but I do really enjoy watching this programme and the very talented contestants. I’m looking forward to the new series.

Not sure why the host always has to be ‘funny’.

A bit of humour here and there, but no need for so called ‘comedians’ dressing up and being daft.

I ve never heard of the man so will watch with an open mind
I do love the idea of the programme but I wish they would change it round a bit as it becomes SO predicable

I'm looking forward to it and absolutely love it.
Nice gentle programme with no nastiness and lots of talent.
I shall be away for the first two weeks but the lovely BBC Iplayer will look after it until I get back.

No, it detracts from the point of the programme.

Oooh, thanks for the reminder. I too really enjoy the Sewing Bee even though my sewing skills are limited. It took me a year at school to finish an apron!!!!

Thanks for this, looking forward to watching it.
I think Kiell Smith-Bynoe took part in the 2021 Celebrity Sewing Bee. I prefer him to Sara Pascoe.

Looking forward to this! Claudia was the best presenter - because that's her job, being a presenter. A little bit of humour now and then, very self-deprecating and empathetic.

I agree with others - a comedian isn't a natural presenter, Sarah I tolerated but I thought Joe Lycett's massive ego overshadowed the whole programme - all that dressing up and throwing himself about along with the constant double entendres and innuendos really spoilt it for me. Not the programme for it.

And I'm guessing that Patrick has been asked, and turned down, Strictly. He seems an obvious choice and Esme as well now we've all got to know her.
