Sandi Toksvig has announced that she's leaving Bake Off - the Stand up to Cancer series is her last:

Too early to know who will replace her.

@El Loro maybe its time for another vote (like National Treasures) ?

@Saint if you want to, go ahead. January is a very busy month for me workwise so I don't have the time to do it myself

Yes , I saw it announced on fb .....I’ll be sad to see her go ...I like her ...and think she and Noel make a great team 

I realise that this won't be watched by you but it starts on Tuesday 10 at 20.00 to 21.15. No point in me going into any details as to contestants or the bakes.

Thanks El .....it does clash with Back in Time , but we might watch it on plus 1 though....so feel free to post your usual blurb 

First episode tonight. Contestants are Louis Theroux, Jenny Eclair, Russell Howard and athlete Ovie Soko. First challenge is a giant biscuit. After the technical challenge, the showstopper is a choux creation representing the contestants' perfect day.

Sorry El ...I’m going to watch back in time ....don’t think I can face stand up to cancer right now !
