I like this show 

Ooo ...I love that programme ...thanks for the heads up Sweet I wondered if they were going to do another one , what with all the Paul Hollinsworth stuff .

Didn't work in America did it... I'm very glad it's back, I must remember to series link it Thanks for the contestant profiles El I hear they had more applicants than ever this year

Yes, I must series link it too Sweet

I love Mary Berry, I want to adopt her!

I wouldn't mind looking as good as she is , if I ever reach her age

can I snigger at it failing cos he thought he was the be all and end all and now he's skulking back here 

Yes, he is Pengy ....minus a wife I believe !

I would watch it, but, unfortunately, I don't like either presenter, although I do like Mel Giedroyc.

disgraceful way he treated her but she can hold her head up high as she's kept a dignified silence   doubt his 'fling' was worth it in the end 

Mel and Sue do make it funny 

Mel & Sue are great Shame about Paul, he was rather attractive before the fling. I did wonder if his marriage was over before that, but who really knows, it's not my business. I'll still enjoy the show

Well- I thoroughly enjoyed that! There appears to be some impressive bakers there this year! Mr he squirrel cake was brilliant

I'm going to catch up with it today 

I watched ...I'm surprised that guy had any fingers left

It has to have been nerves, surely!

 

Is this on just once a week?

Yes EC they kick someone off each week until they're left with a few finalists for the last show. I missed the first 2 years and started watching it last year
