Thoughts Of The New Bake Off Line-Up?

[anthro-nerd]

"Sandi Toksvig, food writer Prue Leith and comedian Noel Fielding will join Paul Hollywood when The Great British Bake Off returns in the autumn."

Personally, I'm not so sure...

It won't affect me because I don't watch cookery shows, but I think Noel Fielding looks like a creepy transvestite, and is about as funny as dysentery on a coach trip, but apart from that, I'm sure it will all be fabulous ...

i thought when someone else posted on this that its a bizarre line up, what is Noel Fielding doing in there.

[shoota]

Is Noel Fielding a comedian?

[sapelesam]

It gives me no pleasure to say this but I feel it will crash and burn.

[anthro-nerd]

Ooops, didn't realise there is already a thread about this! Sorry peeps!

[Arrods]

I like Sandi Toksvig. In this and the other thread others have already written the show off/won't watch because of Noel Fielding at least. I can't say I've seen NF perform, but wouldn't it be better to see the show first and then decide? You never know, it may be the best thing since sliced bread! (PS I'm not a fan of Bake Off - but Jo Brand's Extra Slice is something else.)

Got to give it a chance I suppose, but I think it will join Top-Gear in the ratings.

Sandi Toksvig talks to fast for me, and why does she keep reminding viewers that she is Gay?
Pru is OK, a bit posh, but nice.
Noel Fielding. Never laughed once at his antics, or jokes.

...but, there again, aren't the contestants the whole point of the show?
There's way too much focus on the "presenters" IMO.

We will have to see .

Her, indoors , forced me to watch it with her - I don't suppose I will have any say when it returns .

Never heard of the fella , so I don't know if he is someone I will like . - likewise , Prue Leith
As for Toksvig - well I don't know - so long as she doesn't take over the programme .

It has to be a case of suck it and see

[hereIam]

I won't be watching it because there will be constant ad breaks !

[hc4361]

And before and after each advert a catch up or 'coming next' as Channel 4 believes its viewers has the attention span of a goldfish

[hereIam]

I agree hc, such a shame BBC let it go ....

[emmie]

wasn't it to do with money, ?

[MargoTester]

Prue Leith will be good but as for the other two, not for me I afraid but I expect I will watch the first one just to see how it goes, probably record it though as I can't be doing with ads.

[RandyMarsh]

Noel will be perfect for this, I am excited.

[hereIam]

If I DO watch it, I will have to record it too !

[Mamyalynne]

I like Prue, Sandi and Noel - will probably record the first one to trial it.

[Buddie2017]

Love the dog photo what's the breed ??

[pastafreak]

Looks a bit like a Cairn terrier...

I'm having my doubts about the new GBBO line up...particularly Noel Fielding. I mean...why????

[NellieMay]

I like Pru, Sandy and Noel too. I would probably watch if it wasn't about baking! Could never stand Mary Berry.
