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

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

I like it. Especially when dishy Marcus Wareing is a judge!

OMG I'm such a tragedy, I love it. My DP despairs

Never heard of it if I'm honest

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

Lunaballoon · 22/09/2015 19:42

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

OxfordCommoner · 22/09/2015 19:43

I love it. Matt Gillan runs my favourite local restaurant.

LunchpackOfNotreDame · 22/09/2015 19:44

My husband

It's shit. He keeps turning to me and saying "ooh did you see that!" no I fucking didn't because ITS A PLATE OF FOOD AND THIS PROGRAMME IS A PILE IF WANK

Leave me to MN in peace

Iiiiiiii dooooooo

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

Eminybob · 22/09/2015 19:46

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.

Eminybob · 22/09/2015 19:46

*getting

ThursdayLastWeek · 22/09/2015 19:46

Matt Gillan is fit

TheTravellingLemon · 22/09/2015 19:49

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

MrsCorbyn · 22/09/2015 19:52

Love it. Bake off however is a pile of shite

Prettyeyedpiratesmile · 22/09/2015 19:52

I've been to the restaurant in a show that is owned by one of the previous contestants....Jacqueline somebody and it was yum yum yum Smile

*in Glasgow Blush typing and feeding a baby!

WeAllFloat · 22/09/2015 19:53

My dh is watching it now. Oh! Oh, he just switched over, it really must be shit.

Boosiehs · 22/09/2015 19:54

Matt Gillian is lush!!!!

I love GBM. I realise I am sad.

airforsharon · 22/09/2015 19:56

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

GooseberryJam · 22/09/2015 19:56

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

Blueberry234 · 22/09/2015 19:57

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

Cookingongas · 22/09/2015 19:57

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

RedNailPolish101 · 22/09/2015 19:58

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.

OllyBJolly · 22/09/2015 20:00

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)
