Back on CH4.
Liam is now camping it up almost as much as Tom Allen. Both of them at full pelt, eyes rolling and competition level gurning is a bit much.
Still a good show though. Cherish is wearing something extravagent in the opener, highly unsuitable for a kitchen environment.

It was a nice bit of compensation last night when I sat down to watch Corrie and moaned because Doc Martin was on instead. Why have the cancelled Corrie. Then I realised it was Tuesday!!!
So great to see bake off back.

I'd become addicted to Great Celebrity Bakeoff... everyone's having a good time, and you see an unexpected side of some of the celebrities. (Although as an American, I only know a few of the celebrities... and mostly the older ones!)

Watched this last night and could barely manage to get through it. The judges are so annoying and unnecessarily rude.

Funniest episode ever. |

I really enjoy Bake Off Professionals. I kind of loathe Bake Off Vanilla now - don’t get me started on Hollywood: the judge, not the Patti-laden tv show. But I enjoy the Celeb version.
But the Pro version ticks many of the boxes for me. I like Tom Allen anyhow and he has, for me, almost the right level of irreverence (weirdly, I think this is needed!) but is also “quite” solid enough a host. Almost. But I cannot see why Liam is still there or what he brings to the table. I find him jarring here: his presenting skills are poor, he seems to be much more in the way and is very “rabbit in the headlights“. Just totally surplus here.
I love Cherish for all of her stern bonkersness. And her food is truly sensational. And I do like a bit of Benoit.
Right, I have a showpiece “dessert for 2020” to finish: no pineapple or eggs, so it’s time to work those stale cornflakes, melted dog chocolates and tinned chickpeas into a fabulous centrepiece......

I loved that I knew what all the items they were asked to cook were.
Agree the judges were harsh this week. Hopefully they will loosen up.

It makes me laugh how harsh they are. They can't think it's THAT important, can they?!
