Great British Bake Off

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.

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....

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

I enjoyed throwdown too .
Especially Ryan?

I agree, it was clever. Both the vol au vent and eclair seemed to vomit! I might watch one episode to see how they present it.
What I'd really like, is to see the Allotment Challenge come back. I enjoy it because the results are more ' in the lap of the Gods'.
I do like the sewing challenge as well, but on the last series, none of the contestants seemed to shine.

I - who can't sew to save my life and hate the thought of it - was glued to every episode of sewing bee. Hope it comes back but it's not the same without Patrick Thingy. I loved Throwdown too. Won't watch either cookery show now - got thoroughly fed up with it towards the end of the closing series.

I am looking forward to it .Mary Berry is so old fashioned and stuck in the 80s with her baking style and was the one thing that irritated me about bake off . Love the humour from Noel and Sandi from what I've seen of them previously but am on the fence about Pru . She seems a little bit of can foodie song to me and I'm not sure how she will work with amateurs . We shall see.
Anyone watch the sewing bee . I have always loved that one but not sure if it's back this year or been cut. No pun intended.

It's lovely! I was dead set against watching the ch4 version but I do love Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding. She's so funny and clever and he's so daft. It's hard to imagine them working together. I will watch the first episode in the spirit of research.

I think the trailer is fun, but I'm not sure the programme will live up to it.

I had to watch it twice, I missed the vomiting eclair the first time ?

Me too, she's delightful

Joannapiano, I am another fan of Nadiya's programme. She must have been a heaven sent gift for the BBC, being such a natural and charming presenter.

HildaW couldn't agree more!!!!

I liked the advert and will certainly give the new GBBO a try.

I love the new cooking programme presented by Nadiya, past winner of Bake Off. (Nadiya's British Food Adventures.)She is so natural as a presenter.
I am not overly enthusiastic about Noel Fielding.
