and replacing it with repeats. How boring and cost cutting is that?

YANBU!

If I am out I record it and it becomes 'something for a quiet hr during the week'. I am now rather cross too.

Eglu · 09/01/2012 21:57

YABU because it's crap. Especially now Louise REdknapp is on it. She always looks like she's just rolled out of bed.

maxpower · 09/01/2012 21:58

YABU - it's one of the worst programmes on the BBC

blackoutthexmaslights · 09/01/2012 21:58

YABU its a load of bollocks

inspireme · 09/01/2012 22:06

It's ok I guess in the background, but I can't get over how bad Louise redknapp looks now, especially when I see Jamie on as a football pundit and think yum!! Always watch footie with DH when he's on!

ViviPru · 09/01/2012 22:07

YANBU. Its totally appropriate for that slot, refreshingly so. I'm cross too. I dread to think what they will schedule in its place in the name of 'Delivering Quality First" Hmm

cornsilxksxi · 09/01/2012 22:08

dh loves that programme. I like the cooking bit but that's it.

Sparklingbrook · 09/01/2012 22:10

But Tim Lovejoy and Louise Redknapp are shit presenters. We need Simon Rimmer and Sue Perkins. Perfect.

Thingumy · 09/01/2012 22:16

YABU

Tim Lovejoy is a utter chauvinistic cock.

ViviPru · 09/01/2012 22:18

Almost there, SB... Now Sue Perkins & Giles Coren... that's the dream team right there...

Sparklingbrook · 09/01/2012 22:19

Ok but we need to keep Simon and the nice cocktail man Vivi. Grin

GreenEyesAndNiceHam · 09/01/2012 22:20

Oh what a shame. Now Tim Lovejoy will have to go find something else to be totally bored, disinterested and dismissive about on a Sunday morning Sad

ViviPru · 09/01/2012 22:21

Ok, deal. I love the cocktail man. I get well uppity when they talk all over him. And I like the incongruity of mixology on a Sunday morning.

Sparklingbrook · 09/01/2012 22:24

I don't like the bit at the end when they make the guests eat then ask them loads of questions. cringey.

ViviPru · 09/01/2012 22:27

True, but I'm usually peeling myself off the sofa and thinking about getting out of my pyjamas off out doing fulfilling and worthwhile activities by that time.

cornsilxksxi · 09/01/2012 22:29

I would love to be a cocktail tester

lunaticow · 10/01/2012 10:34

Simon's quite hot don't you think?

cornsilxksxi · 10/01/2012 16:57

which one is Simon? I don't fancy any of them. Well..maybe the cocktail guy.

ViviPru · 10/01/2012 16:59

Simon's not hot IMO. Tim might get it if I'd had one too many Bulmers (which is 2)

Sparklingbrook · 10/01/2012 17:15

Ewwww. Not Tim-he is horrible.

ViviPru · 10/01/2012 17:17

He appeals to my inner 14 year old.

southeastastra · 10/01/2012 17:18

it's not very good though, won't miss it

jasperJohns · 10/01/2012 17:20

YABU.

I used to like it but it's tired now and I can't bear Louise with her dreadful voice and appalling grammar.
