Oh well, I suppose he wasn’t really serious enough about It to knuckle down to it. Too busy ‘having a laugh’. Think on James, while you’re having a laugh someone else is nicking the prize from under your nose. Life lessons! Scary Spice needs to buck her ideas up now or it’ll be her next week. The posh vet is ver ver Celia Johnson, speaks so fast and clipped I can barely understand what she’s going on about. Was it a chicken?. Alice is good but a bit too class swot-ish to be likeable. The good looking bloke who jogs with his bf is understated and classy with the eye for detail. His fig roles were ridiculously perfect. Watch him!

I agree he is one to watch. Also organ man might be a slow burner.

I know , those perfect fig roles! To be honest an easy task. I like it when they don’t know what they heading towards.

Hmm fig rolls: perhaps not the trickiest of technicals apart from the particular pastry for them that is a bit hard to work with in the time. But interesting to watch. And definitely the right result elimination-wise.

What's happened to Extra Slice? It's on Channel 4, Friday nights at 8pm. If you mean what's happened as in "what on earth has happened to this show", that I can't answer. I love it!!

I couldn't find it in the schedule so thought it had been cancelled. I love it too apart from Tom Allen who's novelty value wore off a while ago and now I just find him irritating.

I did enjoy the judges having to pretend someone other than the blatantly obvious choice might go home tonight

"His fig rolls were ridiculously perfect" and then "organ man might be a slow burner". Wonderful alliteration thank you both!

The editing of the ‘getting to know you’ footage last night was bonkers.
We see the woman with the Claudia Winkleman fringe on a treadmill. Smashcut to a trainer on a wall, with a hand lifting it up and then our contestant comes into focus as she walks towards the camera and asks if she can help.
The teacher is at home eating cake with her parents. They all laugh. She laughs like she is deranged. There is a super jarring cut back to the tent. This is a very beautiful and probably very lovely person. Why are they using this footage? Why not use the footage where she is just laughing normally?
David, the sexy gay one, is getting a very cheeky edit. He does pottery! Cue hands on the wheel, shaping a suggestive lump of clay. Later on they showed him peeling a banana and taking a bite.
I am finding this season’s bakers very forgettable. I had to ask my husband for David’s name. I think I only know Michelle (the welsh one, who I think will win) by name.

I'm very taken by Michael Chakraverty's cheeky grin (handshake guy). And he's a theatre manager (are you hiding on here, Michael?). That red bread thing was beautiful.

I thought last night they said he was a personal trainer? Isn't he an organist? The one with glasses who got the Hollywood handshake was shown doing a bicycle class (cant remember the proper name for it) and they said he was a PT which quite surprised me and the one wearing the tie who looks about 14 is the organist.

The omly thing wrong with this show is That Noel person. I think both he and Sandy Toksvig are cringingly unfunny. I’m sure THEY think they’re being hilarious but her ironic “aren’t I clever” act and his “I’m a bit weird” shtick do nothing for me whatsoever. I dread to think what her forthcoming one woman show is going to be like, I’ve never heard her say anything remotely funny. And wasn't it better back in the early series when we had that nice BBC voiceover man doing the explanation bits?

“Although he was born in Newcastle, Michael considers himself Scottish, as he moved to Scone (pronounced Scuin to rhyme with boon) when he was 7 and has studied in Edinburgh.” “Scoon”? Weirdo. Eject.

"Scoon" is definitely how you pronounce the PLACE Scone in Perthshire, notable for Scone Palace, a classic Scots baronial mansion. As a Scot who's visited the palace many times, I'd always say "Scoon" Palace, although I'd never call the baked good a "Scoon". (Two possible pronunciations are enough, we don't need another)

(Two possible pronunciations are enough, we don't need another) I say Scone for the baked good and have always said Scone for the town/palace too! Although I’ve never met anyone from there so I’m guessing I’ve been saying it wrong my whole life if it’s Scoon.

^...the week when Daisy The Cow wanders through the tent and delivers a mighty dump as a judgement on this show since Mary Berry et al left and Fielding/ Toksvig came on board...

It started off a programme about amateur bakers and passing on skills etc. Now it about pitching for a book and a tv show.

Dairy week - not a great one for the show. Theme didn't make much sense
Clearly the instructions for the technical were lacking - given that they all failed to even come close to what was expected of them.
And next week doesn't look much better - stuff with booze in it

I was disappointed this week. Where's the finesse? And I don't think the old feller should have gone, I was struck by the thought as the programme went on that he didn't make great telly, whereas the young'uns who were "in danger" could be viewer favourites further down the line.
I love Noel Fielding. But I preferred Sue and Mel.
