GBBO line-up has been revealed...

LSP - indeedy!

Blinko, I would be bloody delighted if it was true, fingers crossed eh!

I fully expect him to be involved in pie-throwing at some stage...oh dear!

When one of my sons was a teenager he was a fan of the Mighty Boosh and he introduced me to Noel Fielding who is very funny, much more so than Mel and Sue, who aren't very funny at all imo and were not only superfluous to the programme, they tediously overdid the double entendres, their delivery was boringly predictable as the weeks rolled on. I'm amazed that someone as off the wall as Noel Fielding would want to be involved with something as mainstream as Bake Off. He's a tad grubby looking to be doing a programme that involves food, sorry Noel

I live in hope....

It would be alllllllll over Twitter if it were true. I think they will do a reveal show like last time. Not sayin' he's not awesome but I'm holding out for Olivia Coleman!

Blinko That has to be fake news

Not sure, LSP, but I hope it turns out to be the case

Is that just speculation Blinko? Not sure they've announced it yet.

Has anyone heard Reginald D Hunter is to be the new Dr Who? Might start watching if so. Love RDH!

I wasn't going to bother to watch but Sandi and Noel are my favourites. Drat I'll have to watch it. They will completely change the atmosphere of the show. Noel is so ,well, daft and Sandi is brilliant at witty put downs they'll be a most peculiar double act. Unmissable damn it!!

I don't like any of them either Ana so doubt I will be watching. I only ever watched it before for Mel and Sue who were very funny . I was half expecting to see Claire Balding in it. She's in every thing else on TV these days.

I never saw the point of Mel and Sue and I liked the slightly retro, comfy feel of Gbbo.

I don't think edgy is the way to go with this programme. I think people watched for its ability to transport us back into a time of tablecloths, shabbily comfortable kitchens and granny's baking.

I doubt it'll be a success but I applaud C4 in a way for taking it on.

I was not a fan of the original programme but love Noel and Sandy and they do have a good chemistry.Will give it a go despite not being a fan of Paul.☘

I must remember to tell DS that lots of grannies are really keen on Noel - he'll be horrified now he'll have to find a new cool hero!

I don't intend to watch it, whoever is appearing. I loved it how it was and respect Mary, Sue and Mel for not following the money like Paul Hollywood. Anyway he was my least favourite out of all of them.

Disappointed in Sandi Tosvig taking the channel 4 money and not standing up for the beeb

I am a huge bake off fan, I was so sad when the beeb lost it but I am so excited about this line up. I love Noel Fielding, he is fabulous, truly fabulous.

Prue Leith is far more human than Mary berry. I might even watch it now, some real people for a change.

I had every intention of cutting GBBO out of my life after it went to Ch4 but I think choice of Sandy Toskvig and Noel Fielding is inspired and straight away I've changed my mind. Not sure about Prue Leith but time will tell. I doubt she's got Mary Berry's grace but we'll see if she can 'fit' in.

I prefer Noel Fielding to Mel & Sue and I don't mind Sandi Tostvig. I rarely watched gbbo but I might give it a try depending when it is on.

i didn't watch it on bbc so i'm not going to watch it on ch 4! never heard of the fellow but sandi tostvig is ok. not sure about prue leith - ok she's been on loads of other foodie programmes but i'm not sure she's the one for gbbo. personally i think it should have stayed with the bbc and the original presenters but i understand that greed seems to have decided what happens to it.

currently intending not to watch - the production company shouldn't have been so greedy, and left it where it was!!

I'll probably give it a whirl, but 'it won't be the same'

I shall watch it and give it a try. I am glad that Channel 4 haven't dumbed down in an attempt to attract viewers, I would have been really disappointed if it had ended up with some ghastly chirpy Ant 'n' Dec type presenters. I like Noel Fielding, he is intelligent humour, like Sandi Tosvig and they have bounced off each other well in Q1, and he performed well on Have I Got News for You.
