Great British Bake Off MkII

[TVC]

Paul Hollywood - of course
Pru Leith - makes sense
Sandi Toksvig - intellegent, mothering, can do whimsy, fine.
Noel Fielding - have they ever seen him?

Not convinced by the final presenting choice, the others should slot in quite well.

And be in no doubt a lot of people will watch it

Me for one. Fielding is a brave choice, I was expecting Ed Byrne as his style and temperament is more in keeping with the pace of the show, and I think he did a pretty good job of hosting the Comic Relief version a couple of years ago.

I'm sure fielding will tone it down a bit. He is an intelligent man and will know what the audience expects.
The relationship between him and Paul Hollywood will be interesting as Paul.

Love eating. Can't abide cooking.

Sandi Toksvig is really irritating so I don't mind her being on this as I don't watch it, if she turns up in Better Call Saul or Hand Of God I'll be well miffed...

Mind you, Sandi's recipe for Scandinavian Garlic Mayonnaise is fantastic

I may have mentioned this before but mayonnaise is vile.

Fielding and Toksvig is a totally off-the-wall combination but has the potential to be brilliant. I'm looking forward to the new series.

It will be interesting to see what Prue Leith is like. Whenever I've seen her on telly before, she's always seemed very dry. Mary Berry had the expertise but she also had that mischievous twinkle in her eye. Maybe Leith's fellow judges and presenters will bring out her hitherto unseen warmer side.

I thought they should have got Cherish Finden from the Pro version of Bake Off - she seems like a lot of fun, as well as being a seriously expert baker.

 

[Jimidh]

I think Noel is a great choice as he much more suited to C4 audience.

I'm looking forward to the new series as it's me and my daughter's weekly TV time.

The Daily Mail don't like it, so it must be alright. The Mel & Sue reunion was a nostalgia trip for those of us that remember Light Lunch. Sue was on loads of stuff since, but Mel was always the better one and it was nice to see them together again. Toksvig is alright in small doses but she does seem to be bloody everywhere recently. Noel Fielding is a righteous dude who I have nothing but love for. Pru Leith I have no opinion on but I did like Mary Berry. Hollywood is funny just for being so alpha male while cooking buns.

Is the Sugar Tax in any way applicable to this show?

Is that her in the pram?

Anything that riles the Mail is fine by me.
