It is the most long running pile of lameness on the TV!

Do they keep it running just to give Jenny Bond a job?

Compulsive viewing here. More cooking and drama, less soft stories preferable though.

MW was so harsh on a previous series he made one of the chefs cry. Very uncomfortable viewing!

Pregnancy bad sleep stuff going on here, so it's nice and soothing and is about the only thing that can lull me to sleep!

I love it!
Though this series isn't that inspiring - the brief is dull dull dull

Oh it is shit and the reasons for the banquets are gearing more and more tenuous but I've been watching it from the first series and it's just habit now.

I love it! Though if one more chef dedicates their dish to their inspirational grandmother I think I will chuck the telly out the window.

Agree the brief this year is dull. Whether you're an ambitious newcomer or competition veteran Wink

in my defence i'm curled up in my pyjamas with a brew and feeling unwell and sorry for myself, so it's the most my feeble brain can cope with right now. I'm finding it strangely soothing Smile

My elderly parents watch it all the time. Cookery shows are their thing. So just think of the pensioners! Smile

I love it, especially criticising how they serve the food shouting at the TV 'use a fecking plate!'

I love it. Good family viewing ( though I agree we're clutching at straws this year)

I like it too... I liked the crazy northern chap who did the starters in an egg shaped thing... Think it gets better as it goes into their later rounds.

I quite enjoy it -good to unwind to. Agree this is a bad year though. The Comic Relief theme was one of the best - get some humour in. This is dull (with apologies to any WRI MNers)
