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

Maybe she could serve it with roti.

Ian Beale - veal

Or an Oatey roti.

I'm hoping Oti makes bobotie.

While that would be funny, the thought makes me gag. It’s one of my dad’s signature dishes and no one else likes it. Mince and custard Horrors.

Kelly could make jelly

Gregg can make egg.

Judge Jules can make fudge

Thanks for the thread Halsall

God knows what Razor Ruddock will be like!
With any luck, the gurning greengrocer will rub him up the wrong way and Ruddock will just deck him

Oti, Greg and Tomas will be sooo competitive. Did Greg dance with Oti on SCD or was it Natalie? Sorry, wrong thread, I know

I feel so dirty.
GregG is my secret indulgence, I hate him but watch avidly

Greg R danced with the divine Natalie. He wasn't very good, bless him, but Nat made it worthwhile.

have had to name change due to various issues - whether mumsnet or Virginmedia it's hard to say. I note, however, that the CEO of VM has moved on and in his place is a German bloke so hope his steely efficiency brings VM up to the mark. Too late for me though,
but in other news - saw the trailer and knew the signal would be out soon. Usual mix of Z listers eh but have actually heard of a few.
Looking forward to seeing the dumpled doughboy and the other usual suspects soon. Did anyone hear Marcus Wareing on Desert Island Discs (don't think he goes in for puddings otherwise it would have been dessert island discs ha) - not the sharpest Sabatier in the drawer I fear. Until the fun begins ...

dimpled doughboy not dumpled although as a made-up adjective seems to suit Gregg strangely

I think dumpled is the perfect adjective for Greggggggggggggg Da Grocer

TIMING KLAXON
The show starts on Monday 2 September at 9pm!

Oh, on BBC One.

Hurrah!

Thanks, Grouchy

Yay about time we had a date!!!
Can't wait- Not had anything fun to watch for what seems ages...( strictly back soon also so life is good again)

Yayyyy! Thank you Kiwi

Yay thanks for the date update.

Weeeeeellllllll helllllllllllloooooooo one and all, I've just seen the bat signal and am so glad to see you all already, can't wait for the series to begin, I'm predicting a come back of the humble sprout (disgusting though they are)

Unfortunately I haven't been well (bloody breast cancer, but on the road to getting better) so not sure I'll be keeping up with everybody but will do my best, I'll be recording and reading though.

This has cheered me right up though

Thank you Halsall for the thread and I hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer.

Any chance of a pic of Grouchy Pup GrouchyKiwi and cheers for the start date.

As usual ds1 sends his best with a fuck off Gregg thrown in for good measure.

Oh no @ellenanora5. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're on the road to recovery and can join us when you're feeling up to it.

So sorry about your illness, ellen, but glad you're getting better.

Here are two photos of my beast: looking out the window (ignore my children's undies), and staring with longing at cake on her birthday a few weeks ago (she ate it in 1 second flat).

ellen good to hear from you, so glad the 🦇signal got through but sorry to hear your news. Hope you're well on the road to recovery. and for you.

Thanks all, was a bit of a shock but have had the surgery and just waiting to see oncologist for my treatment plan.

Holy moly Grouchy, she is fabulous we'll have to retire the puppy name though, she is huge.

I'm going to be on holiday. I'll have to watch when I get back.
