Apologies to everyone I’ve missed off but I’d fill up a whole thread with the roll-call Grin
Anyway, it’s back, tonight, BBC2, 8pm.

It’s what autumn were made for.

Gaaah, so excited I can't write properly! It's what autumns were made for

They sneaked this one through, though - I only noticed because I was checking to see if I'd need to record anything when I went out tonight....

Can I join? All my friends think Love Island is the most important TV event of the year so none of them understand the significance of a cod omelette Wink

Owlwantstoshare · 06/11/2018 11:44

Can I join too. Was wondering what I’d do when Bake Off finished and then suddenly found MC is back AND Lego Masters. My autumn is complete 😀

Yay! I see William Sitwell is there on Thursday...I want to see him with a nice plate of vegan food Grin

Halsall · 06/11/2018 11:49

Of course, all welcome! I just put a klaxon out for us grizzled regulars Grin but yay, new blood!

Ooooh great. When does it start?

ThomasShelbysBunnet · 06/11/2018 11:54

I am so excited for tonight. I love Monica and Marcus, and it far surpasses the shite celebrity version. I don't watch a lot of tv but come 8pm my bum will be firmly on the sofa.

Owlwantstoshare · 06/11/2018 12:06

Arrghhh just remembered it’s my evening class tonight . Will have to watch on catch up afterwards .

Halsall · 06/11/2018 12:29

I love this thread as much the programme. Early night for the children tonight!

jay55 · 06/11/2018 14:05

Wahooooo.
I was worried there was nothing cooking related to watch (that family cooking showdown was not a good filler).
This is joyous news.

Shirleyphallus · 06/11/2018 14:18

You’re a doll thank you Halsall

I saw Gregg Wallace in my gym at Canary Wharf a few weeks ago. He has surprisingly good legs.

I’ll be on the lookout for him again and report back with any stalking as and when appropriate.

GMtoBe · 06/11/2018 14:20

Ooo I'd like to join too please!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/11/2018 14:25

Welcome all newbies - you are in for a televisual treat and a thread full of rampant abuse.

If you love Gregggggg and are delighted at the prospect of his impending fatherhood and not at all on the point of vomiting at the realisation that a real WUMMAN has let him DO IT TO HER, then you may want to leave now with all your illusions semi-intact.

Isitmybathtimeyet · 06/11/2018 14:27

May I join? I promise that in my house we chorus 'fuck OFF, Greg(g)' every time The Diner speaks.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/11/2018 14:28

yay, new blood!

An unfortunate turn of phrase Halsall, but we grizzled old veterans know it is well meant.

Halsall · 06/11/2018 14:29

What is this you say Schaden???? Gregggg the Gurning Grocer? Impending Fatherhood?

You are truly close to Nirvana, bathtime

Halsall · 06/11/2018 14:30

At least I didn’t say fresh blood, Schaden 🧛🏻‍♂️ Grin

I don't even want to soil the edges of my brain with "two years of trying" - presumably that's how long it took him to slip her a mickey finn so that he could shag her - she should have been more vigilant.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/11/2018 14:34

It does add a certain frisson to watching him tonight, I suppose - and the useless regrets that nobody stuck him in a carrier and had him away to the vet's while we had the chance.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/11/2018 14:34

Fresh blood is too much to hope for at our (or perhaps just my) age Halsall

Halsall · 06/11/2018 14:39

I think you’ll have to count me in too, Schaden, only heavy-duty transfusion would get me back up to youthful speed Confused
