Hmm not as funny as last night so far...

vigglewiggle · 22/01/2013 21:07

We thought it was hilarious in this house. DH nearly fell of his seat at one point.

I now NEED bakewell tart!

I am now a fan of Warwick Davies! I wasn't fussed about him on TV before. He's so much better when he's not having to downplay his talents so as not to outshine a certain Mr Gervais. Even Duncan Bannatyne surprised me; I normally find him a bit arrogant but he was a good sport.

The first one was hilarious! Them custard slices! Joe brand was v funny with not slicing hers.

MunchkinsMumof2 · 23/01/2013 08:51

Another brilliant episode, loved Warwick Davies and Duncan's tiniest gateau in the world!

I'm just watching the second episode as I recorded it last night. If that bunch of amateurs can make a Bakewell tart, I reckon I could have a go Grin

Haven't got to the showstoppers yet but my money's on Warwick so far. I've only seen him in films not on the tv and he's pretty good.

love the squirrel - he's the new Sue !

WingDefence · 23/01/2013 13:45

Oh and I noticed the K-Mixes too.

Ooh Duncan's egg whites look a bit rough second time round...

MunchkinsMumof2 · 23/01/2013 20:02

Looking forward to tonight's-wish it was on longer than 4 days.

I made custard slices yesterday after watching this on Monday. They were surprisingly easy. I guess using shop bought puff pastry probably counts as cheating though ? Grin

Is it just me that gets slightly annoyed by Julia bradbury she always seems so pleased with herself

Stoneinwelly · 23/01/2013 20:40

DP and I agreed Julia Bradbury seems very lively . DP then said she was probably wild "in her pomp". I'd never heard this expression before but I think she is still in her pomp!

MunchkinsMumof2 · 23/01/2013 21:21

Loved Ellie, such a sweet girl. Thought they all did well tonight. Looking forward to Claudia Winkleman tomorrow, she always makes me laugh.

I found Julia irritating too. Really liked Ellie but always have (thought she should have come in the top 3 in Sporting Personalitis too).

WingDefence · 24/01/2013 14:04

I thought Julia was okay. Really not sure about Kirsty getting joint SB though - should have been Ellie on her own.

Wasn't as funny as last night's - I laughed out loud a few times - but I'm looking forward to tonight's :)

MunchkinsMumof2 · 24/01/2013 14:35

It's such lovely television and makes me want to be more adventurous with my baking!

Anyone watching tonight's episode? I have enjoyed my 8pm date with Paul Hollywood this week Wink

ILoveOnionRings · 24/01/2013 20:10

I am

ILoveOnionRings · 24/01/2013 20:28

Have I missed something but why is Martha whispering?

Salteena · 24/01/2013 20:31

Lost her voice, onionRings.

Had to laugh at Mel's box-ticking joke

beanandspud · 24/01/2013 20:32

I used to love lemon meringue pie... some of these are truly dreadful!

ILoveOnionRings · 24/01/2013 20:34

When they first said lemon meringue, I said to DH 'I could make one of those' but now I am not to sure

Arithmeticulous · 24/01/2013 20:37

That has indeed 'been on a journey' Grin

Arithmeticulous · 24/01/2013 20:37

And doesn't Mary like Ed Shock

VivaLeBeaver · 24/01/2013 20:38

I'm finding Claudia quite irritating.
