The new trailer has been released. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ7Jsd0yCLQ What do you think? We're divided at HQ. Some of us think it's very clever while others can't see past the vomiting eclair. confused Thoughts?

I really enjoyed the sewing bee programme too - I think I read that it is coming back??

The trailer is clever I think. I never missed an episode so I suppose I won't be able to resist watching the channel 4 version.

I'm going to watch it. I loved it on the BBC and am waiting to see how Channel 4 produce it. I have to admit that I'm not a great baker! I thought the video was sweet and funny. I'm looking forward to it.

Liked the advert, music maybe a bit dramatic.
Will try the new show out as I like Noel Fielding

Do hope sewing bee comes back, I really enjoyed it.

Went to talk with the "girl with the red hair" on Sewing Bee - lovely and very interesting.
I love all those programmes where "ordinary" people do wonderful things with food/fabric/paints... Not sure I know anything about the Noel bloke...
But - I shall probably be glued to all the screenings of all the above! grin

I missed the vomiting eclair as I took my eyes off it - I found it a bit irritating. I'll watch the new prog if it delights. Of course it won't be the same as it's the people who make it was it is but I'll keep an open mind.

I will definitely watch and hope that it is as good, I thought it was about time they changed the presenters anyway, Regarding the vomiting baked goods, I thought it was an iced bun or finger roll. I am another who would love to see the return of the sewing bee.

Probably won't watch, can't stand Sandi Toksik and I don't like Noel Fielding. Might watch the first one and see how it goes .... I do hope it's not going to be "look at us we're Channel 4 and we push boundaries".

I'd like to see the gardening challenge one brought back but without Fern Britton, bit too touchy-feely. Don't sew so didn't watch the sewing bee one. Had one dip into the pottery one, they appeared to have made a lavvy. That was enough.

Liked the clip will give it go and reserve judgement till I've watched it

I Still like the gbbo, didn't think I would now it's on ch 4...the only criticism are the advert breaks. I really don't like the new BBC programme, watched the first programme, won't be watching anymore....

I didn't want to start watching it again but decided to again given tge other choices- won't bother anymore. Lost interest with the ad breaks missed when it was back on a couple of times as it seems to slip in and out of the 'kitchen'. Guess no big drama wanting you to see what happens next and no announcement stating 'back after yet another break' etc doesn't help. BUT mainly hate not seeing the finished product properly! Blink and you miss all their efforts you really do as I've taped it and you hardly see the bakes properly.
