I will watch the first edition with interest, just to see how it pans out. I don't particularly dislike any of the new line-up. I wonder if Channel Four want it to be more 'edgy' in which case it may be a challenge to keep the old audience on board.

I hate change but this should be interesting!

I agree. It is an odd assortment. Seems like they went for the names/reputation, rather than the chemistry between them. Mel & Sue were already an item, so the rest followed...
Never heard of this Noel bloke. Must research. But I doubt I shall follow them.

I shall definitely watch it, out of curiosity if nothing else. It might work. Odd line up though.

What an odd collection, do you think there is a special department somewhere that specialises in making the weirdest combinations of people to present programmes. There's Portrait Painter OTY with Joan Bakewell and Frank Skinner, now Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, whatever will come next?

It's a no from me also, I do like Noel Fielding but I don't intend to watch it.

Ana Fri 17-Mar-17 09:47:20

I don't like any of them, so I won't be watching!

I might watch the first one but I really enjoyed the original line up so I'll reserve judgement for now.

Oops, sorry, Jalima I mean! Fat finger (or big glass of red) syndrome grin

Maggiemaybe Thu 16-Mar-17 23:56:15

I'm told he's like Marmite, Jamila, so you could love him or hate him grin

Jalima Thu 16-Mar-17 23:27:22

well, I'd better investigate him grin

Maggiemaybe Thu 16-Mar-17 23:24:28

I've never watched it. But I'll give it a go just for Noel Fielding.

petra Thu 16-Mar-17 23:10:16

jalima Noel is lovely. I think this is a perfect line up except for Paul Hollywood, Mr personality bypass.

Jalima Thu 16-Mar-17 22:58:37

hmm perhaps Prue may be OK, Sandi yes (doesn't she look good in that photo) but I've never heard of him.

It's the cupcake which matters wink

With that lot and the ad breaks I don't think I'll be bothering.

hildajenniJ Thu 16-Mar-17 21:35:21

This is a great lineup. I love Noel Fielding, he's very funny.

Deedaa Thu 16-Mar-17 21:27:25

Very odd isn't it? I'm not sure how they see the programme panning out. I think Prue Leith may take it slightly too seriously, I can't see her getting flirty with Paul. Sandi should fit in quite well but Noel seems completely wrong.

And there are some interesting choices!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39296513

Not sure about Noel Fielding. hmm Do you think he's meant to be the 'Sue' replacement?
