The Big Family Cooking Showdown Replacing The Great British Bake Off

[naomi24]

We always enjoyed ‘Bake Off’ but did anyone else see the BBC’s replacement programme last night? What a tedious load of twaddle. We switched it off half way through. If they want to retain viewers I think they have to do something better than that.

It's not started yet Naomi, not sure when it does ...

I just googled Noel Fielding. I was expecting to say, "Oh, yes. Him", but I'm still none the wiser.

[naomi24]

Thanks Mamyalynne. I'll give it a bash, but I think I'm probably pre-programmed to like the original best. We'll see.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not sure I'll bother as I say never really watched much before - as much as I like Noel I have no idea what he's doing on this show.

[hereIam]

He's going to play the role Mel and Sue did.

[naomi24]

Do you think he'll do it well?

[hereIam]

No, but that's because I'm not a fan. I'll miss the other two.

[naomi24]

I'll haver to try to find something he's appeared in. I've really never seen him or heard of him.

[hereIam]

He's usually on satirical comedy type shows, like Never Mind the Buzzcocks !

[naomi24]

Okay. Thanks HereIam.

A while ago I had to ask who Keith Lemon was too - and I've still not seen him on television - because someone here kindly provided a clip for me. That was enough. ;o)

[hereIam]

Keith Lemon's like Marmite (haha).

[ludwig]

He's the here without the hat on

The Alice Cooper clone rather than the other one? His voice and acting style reminds me a bit of Chris whatever his name was, Ben’s dozy eldest son in ‘My Family’, and I liked him. Thanks Ludwig.
