GBBO season 5

[LaChatte]

It's starting soon , I'm far too excited! just hope the transfer to BBC1 doesn't ruin it!

Sorry bit late with this but why was everyone wearing the same clothes for both 'days'??
How did Jordan not go...
Not impressed so far.

ppeat, I felt so sorry for Claire. She just looked so amateurish all the way through. It's what my terrible baking skills and presentation would look like if I went on national tv.

Looks good STDG

I am glad the history of baking section has gone.

I think the history bit was shown in the preview of next week, so looks like it'll be back.

History of the cornetto cone next week...

I really like the little history bits, I've watched Bake Off since the first series, main reason was because Mel & Sue were in it and that was reason enough.

Just caught up on the Sky+. This series I've warmed to Martha & Norman and think Nancy was definately deserving of Star Baker.

HerrClip is rather getting on my tits, especially all the zany "look at me, riding my bike in the office, aren't I cool" FFS

Looking forward to Jo Brand's show tomorrow.

Blimey that's a lovely looking cake STDG You should be on GBBO with that!!!

Eugene Yes I'd be first out too! but I've got enough sense not to enter! Must be horrible to be shown up on TV!

I don't mind the history bits as long as they're properly interesting

Extra slice!

But Greg the giant thumb has snuck in there. Grrrrrrr.

Still, he does like his puddings.

Anyone watching extra slice??

Yes! The de-tinner again! I need one.

Ahh, Claire seems lovely. And funny.

Who is the woman in the middle eating all the cakes? I like her!

Bacon cakes

Still not sure that hundreds and thousands has a place in bake off....

Bloody hell, how are there this many posts when there's only been one episode?

Cos we lurve cake!trills

Tis Roisin Conaty - she's a comedian, and cake lover.

We do love cake, Trills
Maybe we will be as prolific as the Wenchy Wenchy lot?

Love it. Can't polish a turd

Claire is hilarious

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter hundreds and thousands.

Now am i imagining it but I swear GBBO used to be on bbc in the afternoons about 4pm?

A good few years ago. It wasnt in the tent, but in a big brick building. I only have vague memories of it. I don't remember mel and sue, but do remember Paul Hollywood.
