Thanks for the latest scoop El Loro   

That's a weird combo Haven't seen much of the first, don't like the second, ok with the third.

Roger, as you say, a weird combo particularly Noel Fielding

Yeah, exactly! What the...... 

That is a strange combo. I know Prue from another cooking show. Noel really needs to stick to what he is good at (comedy). Not a fan of Sandi either.

But my points are somewhat mute as I will not be watching now that I know of Murdoch's involvement.

Agreed Rog but then again I don't watch it anyway

Hope all is well with you

Noel Fielding ???

A case of agents pulling strings no doubt

I'm amazed John Bishop isn't taking it over

Hi Moonie   not so bad, thanks for asking. Hope all is well with you too? xx

Noel bloody Fielding! sorry....  still can't get my head round it  Worst casting since Chris Evans in Top Gear?

I love Noel - he can be soooo funny

I hope he has a great rapport with Sandi Thingy-ma-jig (who has an impossibly posh voice). Hope he is the funny guy to her straight gay guy

I was hoping for Miranda Hart or Ronni Anconna

Yeah! Miranda would've been perfect! Especially with Sandi.

Did you get your pc problems sorted out then Sainty? 

Haven't got it sorted cos it will mean a week out of action and £200 at least.

It's laziness really as I love being on line and miss it sooo much.

Must bite the bullet

Miranda acting like an over excited school girl around cake

Prue - the disapproving gym mistress

Could have been classic

 Are you using your smartphone or something?

Would a root scan help? [takes hours, I did one with Avast I think ] That repaired the problem. Or System Restore.

It's been for a massive repair lately which hasn't resolved the problem.

They say it's a corrupted CPU or something and will need replacing

Nice to see you contributing Mr Moons

Thank you Mr Saint

Hi Rog  I think it should be more about the bakers than the presenters...Mel and Sue were very much quietly in the background making the odd quip , don't want too much Personality running around detracting from the real action...and I think we loved it because it was gentle and encouraging rather than rip it apart judging. ...we shall see

I was going to have my 2008 Dell lappy fitted with a faster processor. Price £15 for the new one

I may or I may not

Hi Amy  yes - you summed up its charm perfectly.

The late Victoria Wood [still get a lump in my throat thinking of her ] and Julie Walters would have been my dream team... though they would've completely stolen the show 

Sometimes a programme just gets the balance right. Once that changes it may not be the same. There is nothing wrong with saying "I liked it as it was, I'm not keen on the new format, so I will not watch anymore". It's not compulsory to watch a show as long as it lasts. Tastes change.

I did not watch any of the CBB that recently finished, I did not contribute to the forum at all. Did not miss it one bit.

I like Sandi....can't stand Pru ...and never heard of the other guy ...hope that helps

I agree Amy

I saw that too Katty ...don't blame them.....sounds like the bottle of a barrel scraping to me 

Josh Widdicombe would have been grate  << 

Yes, this is what we need, a mad clown/joker hybrid fronting up the show. 

It starts on Tuesday 29th at 20.00. 75 minutes long so that it's the same length as before plus ad breaks. 12 contestants, 10 episodes, same format - signature challenge, technical challenge and showstopper, and same tent as before.

First episode is cake week and the showstopper is an illusion cake (I don't think that means that Fielding is going to be made to vanish though).

I'm conflicted about whether to watch or not .....I always enjoy the thread , but not sure I can stomach the new presenters
