Sending out the Sleb Masterchef bat-signal

[Halsall]

God knows we could all do with some cheering up, so the hot news is that SLEB MASTERCHEF WILL BE RETURNING SOON

Not sure exactly when but we need time to anticipate, non?

Heads up you Mastercheffians -

And every other Mastercheffian I've managed to leave off the list, no offence intended

Wotcha! For some reason the @ didn't alert me. Oooh I've heard of 11 of them. Will be perving watching for Greg Rutherford

I'd like to join in too! I love any version of Masterchef!

I'm in.

Ad just now still says coming soon. Hope it is soon. Need something mindless to rant at.

What are we predicting as The Ingredient / Trend this year?

Jackfruit
Lots of vegan recipes
Some weird fish

Ooh, a telly ad, jay? Might be nearish if they've started trailing it.

Wahay! I've missed Masterchef.

Thanks Halsall - I'm in!

I got all excited and checked the planner but nothing yet

Just can't wait to see Greggggggg again....

I want borage flowers. Borage flowers everywhere. And lollipops as garnish.

Hello, I’m new here but marking place as I decided I need to watch this series as I’m fascinated to see what Ian Beale is like in real life!

Oooh I love this programme.

Please can you add me into the mix? Love this prog!

I'm in!

Excellent-didn’t realise it was back so soon. I’m watching Aussie masterchef right now. Surprised how many of this lot I recognise.

Thanks halsell I saw the tv ad and immediately thought of you lot!

I'm killing time with the interior design thing on BBC2, but just waiting for MC really.

I've got two tins of jackfruit in my stash. I could do with some ideas from Ian Beale.

I’m gonna go with verbena

Oti! OMG wait till I tell DH

I can’t find out when it’s on?

Also surprised at how many names I recognise this time.

Where are you watching your Aussie one PurpleDaisies?

It’s back on Watch Anne. Really good contestants this time around.

I’ve never seen it but I like Aussie anything and it’ll fill time till sleb starts here, thank you

I'm hoping Oti makes bobotie.

It could be the start of a whole new challenge - make a dish that rhymes with your name
