GBBO

Who do you think will replace Sandi Toksvig ?

I'm gutted she was so nice

Thanks, SDTG, for recognising my dinnerladies reference. Well spotted

I'm afraid I haven't worked out your username yet, though !!

I'm just so glad that Sandi is going. She just grates on me so much...I even remember as a child watching Number 73 that I'd have to mute it when she came on.

It'll be interesting to see if Noel stays...he always seems so nice.

I wasn't impressed with Noel at first but he's really rather good, I hope he stays.

No to Sarah millican and Richards Ayoade and Osman. Have to turn all of them off. And Tom Allen - shudder

I’d be surprised if VCM would do it

I can't stand VCM so really wouldn't want her to replace Sandi. What about Tom Allen?

Or Sara Cox?

It won't happen but I'd love to see Mel and Sue back.

It is a long and complicated story, @CanYouSmellMyCharlie.

Initially, I was Staying Sunnygirl. I was, and still am, a big fan of David Tennant as Dr Who, so when he was replaced, I changed to StayingDavidTennantsGirl. Then I joined a group on FB called the Wolefs (based a humorous misspelling of Wolf), and at about the same time, mad a suggestion on here that was called evil genius. StayingDavidTennantsGirlisAnEvilWolefGenius was too long, so the first bit got shortened to SDTG.

Bet you’re glad you asked now!

It won't happen but I'd love to see Mel and Sue back.

Can't stand Mel.

Funnily enough, a colleague was asking me why I didn't watch GBBO, as I'm into baking. I told him I couldn't stand Mel and Sue.

Lo and behold, by the end of the week, GBBO had moved to Channel 4 and they were off.

Bit of a waste of one of my three wishes tbh. Hope Noel doesn't leave now.

I think Susan Calman would be good but I'm not sure of she would work well alongside Noel. Not Claudia. I wouldn't watch if it were her. It has to be someone with a comedy background.

I remember you in all your guises @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

I'd love to see Mel and Sue back, especially Sue. I like Susan Calman and Claudia Winkleman, wouldn't mind Jo Brand. I don't think Victoria Coren Mitchell would suit the programme, too high brow. I can't stand Sarah Millican. I love Richard Ayoade, but don't think he's suitable for gbbo. I think they'll look for another female presenter. As long as they don't bring in Holly Willoughby ....! I'd quite like Fern Britton, she's very warm, but probably not funny enough.

Roisin Conaghty or Katherine Ryan might be OK.

If it's Fearne Cotton I'm never tuning in again. She turns every anecdote from other people into being about her.

Jo Brand for me, if it's Claudia Winkleman, Fearne Cotton or Nadiya I will stop watching

I find Sarah Millican very annoying. Victoria Coren Mitchell is great with a fantastic sense of humour, one of the reasons Only Connect is one of my favourite shows, but this wouldn't be a good fit for her. Would prefer a female presenter.

Are people mixing up Fearnes Cotton and Britton, or talking about both/saying they wouldn't want either?

Definitely not mixing up Fearne's Britton and Cotton. I definitely mean Fearne Cotton the DJ / presenter.

Ah yes, @iklboo - back to when it were all fields round here!

What about Sara Cox, who used to present the Great Pottery Throwdown - she was so good with the contestants.

Emma bunting presents the US version, reckon her names in the running. I love her, she's so down to earth on heart radio

Sara Cox would be good.

I hope they don't get Keith Lemon

I like Mel but can't stand Sue.
Russell Brand and Noel are great together

No, I definitely meant Fern Britton, can't stand Fearne Cotton. I like Roisin, Katherine Ryan or Sara Cox might be ok. Can't stand Emma Bunting.
