'New' Bake Off

[lsp]

So, what do we think of the new show??

[Panders]

Confession - didn't watch it, but understand there is very little difference from the BBC version but what the bakers are being asked to do isn't quite so easy peasy - not that I found what they did that easy peasy :blink:

 

Cant say I was that bowled over by the BBC replacement with Nadiya though, thought the trailers looked good, but the show didn't really pop my cork. ::1a

James Martin's coming back to BBC Saturdays too :1b

[sunnyday]

Have recorded - quite sure that I will find time to watch later today

I enjoyed it, same format, and presenters take nothing away from what is really about the bakers.. Harder?

 

Not sure on that , the ones they have time to practice maybe , but it is just that, they are told in advance and should plan and practice..

 

Skill may have been a bit harder for a first one.. when you watch you will realise how one of them obviously had no idea on what they were doing.

Yes Well not sure what to think really. There was not any format difference to when it was on Beeb except I did not feel as relaxed. I did like Prue's advice last week to record and then fast forward so you don't see the ads.

 

Oh and did you see the ebay ad for the airbrush thing and then low and behold one of the bakers used the exact same thing!

I don't watch it myself but just made some yummy Brownies with grandson. Big cheesy grin as he waits to 'lick the bowl'. Now,vwhy is that always the best bit?

I liked it, just don't like that it is on at the same time as Holby city and Saving lives at sea! Talking about saving lives at sea, big shout out to the lifeboat crews, lifeguards and Coastguards, so much respect and admiration for them they are truly brave heroes.

How's Coverack now?

Beautiful. Been very busy this summer which is great for the businesses but individuals are still displaced from there homes.

I really enjoyed it - very pleased that I recorded though so that I could zoom through the ads :1b

[zigzag]

God yes, the adverts were endless.

I suspect they will be for sometime then, takes a good while to put repairs and stuff in place, and then when you read about the floods in the states, it 's going to take a long time to get people back on their feet.

I agree, I am a hardcore Holby City fan so I recorded bake off and watched Holby. Really enjoyed bake off, and like I can fast forward through the ads.

[gillpen]

I watched it on catch-up and couldn't fast forward through the ads which was annoying but I really enjoyed the programme. I'm so envious of people who can bake. My efforts are very sub standard! <_<

I just made some raspberry and prosecco jam (loads of rasps on the allotment this year) only problem is I've just drunk the rest of the prosecco HIC! ...also just been commissioned by a friend to make a pair of b**bs cake for her daughters 21st birthday :lol: Well really
