I watched it and enjoyed the opening scene especially! For me the presenters are a sideshow and I do respect the opinions of the judges.

The bakes are the most interesting part, I actually feel very nervous when the contestants complicate things and are rushing to get things finished in the allotted time!

Forgot it was on. I suppose that shows how interested I am in a programme that seemed unmissable a few years ago, back when Nadia won.

I love BakeOff. The new line up just works perfectly with Matt Lucas fitting in from the beginning smile..
Gives me an hour of relaxation and escapism, which we all need at the moment. Can’t wait for next week.

I'm a bit sad that it's very 'man heavy' now.
Although I do like Matt.
I can live without Hollywood though!

“Strictly” leaves me cold but you know it’s Autumn when Bake Off is back.
Despite my misgivings I really like the new line-up. As for the contestants, they will no doubt grow on me. But I wonder what planet my subconscious was on when I read Monday’s TV investigation title as
“Panorama - the baking habits of the rich and powerful“ - now that would be worth watching! gringrin
