Comic Relief Celebrity Bake off...

[Oceanpurple1]

If anyone is watching...

Yes Ocean PaulHollywood's comments were so funny about her\him 'not weighing anything' I don't (well not on scales anyway!) and my cooking's a damn sight better than Edna's

They are being kind :) I loved the part where David supplied the phrase "a bit shit" when Paul was struggling with what to say.

Was it "a bit shit"? Having typed that I'm not sure as that seems wrong for the time of the programme. The principle remains!

Maybe it was "disgusting"...

I liked when she said she didn't want to take her rings off as she didn't trust anyone in here

Haha Bella that was hilarious!!

No you're right Soup I remember being a bit maybe they bleeped it ?

Tbh, Dame Edna should appear every week. Or have her own cooking show.

Barry Humphries is getting on a bit now. We saw his show, so un P.C. but so funny, must've been 17 years ago ; we gave him a lift home and he was asking me questions about the dcs names etc.

No way! That's amazing.
I've seen Sue Perkins in Edinburgh once - but I suppose that's not the same thing.
Was this in Aus or the UK?

I don't think they did bleep it. In fact, I think they used it on the trailers!

I always wondered how Michael Sheen could attract such beautiful women. I kind of get it now. And i thought Sarah was lovely too, very different to what I expected.

In the uk Ocean dh is in the business .

Am I in the minority? I think Dame Edna is sooooo unfunny

I think Dame Edna is dreadful, always have.

Sheen.

Yes.

Even though his baking skills are cack.

Jamilla comes across as very dim where food is concerned.

"what's a quail's egg?"

"I don't think I've ever even seen a pork pie^"

Yes, I'm watching on iplayer.

Sarah is excellent but not very entertaining.

Mitchell is entirely "meh" for me.

Hopefully this ep improves. Bland so far.

ooh ok ppeat
I don't know, quite liked Jameela

Jameela was getting on my nerves a bit. Surely no-one can be as dim as she was coming across.

Michael Sheen has a lovely accent. I'm a sucker for a Welsh voice....

People can come across as dimly as the film editors want them to :)

This is very true Soup!

In that case Soup I'd be pretty annoyed with the editor if I was Jameela.
Very dim.

Editors don't make up what she's saying though - "I've never touched butter", "what's lard"....

I suspect there are a lot of people who haven't touched butter or who know what lard is. There's no need to touch butter in a pastry making way unless you are baking and lard isn't used as much as when I was growing up - I've never used it in cooking.

I'm not saying she's a genius but I suspect some editing was at work to pull out all the daft comments. She's worked in TV so will be well aware of how editors work.

I keep missing this and catching up on iplayer, i can't seem to work out what day it's on.

Made the pork pies today. I mean how hard can it be??

I thought they used 'mini' tins, turns out they are normal size - first mistake.
Quails eggs - yuk.

Result, 12 dinky pies with eggs in which are not very nice. I even undercooked the eggs - said to cook for 2 mins, I cooked them for 1and they were still over cooked. Over cooked eggs are not nice in anything.

The 5 extra pies I made with the left overs are okish, probably because I left the eggs out. And used Delias cooking instructions.

I hate Paul Hollywood and his daft recipe.
