Liza Tarbuck would be brilliant

SallyLovesCheese · 18/01/2020 12:01

I hope it's not Rylan. He's everywhere atm and when he's on something I'm watching I can only focus on what his pampering regime must be, I'm not a fan of his look at all.

Would love VCM or Liza Tarbuck!

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 18/01/2020 13:47

Liza Tarbuck would be fantastic - she's not on TV anywhere near enough!

IntermittentParps · 18/01/2020 14:24

Generally folks that do things on BBC don't do things on channel 4 so that would rule out quite a few like Claudia Victoria Coren Mitchell etc
And Sara Cox, I guess; I assume she doesn't do Pottery any more because it's now on C4. More's the pity.

I think Joe Lycett is shite and tries too hard. Really don't like him on the Sewing Bee.

IntermittentParps · 18/01/2020 14:25

Ooh ooh ooh – Katie Puckrik!
Funny, warm, original, slightly naughty, and not on telly or radio NEARLY enough.

Feckinlego · 18/01/2020 14:35

Aisling Bea? Shes not British though. I think she's just quirky enough to work well with Noel.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 18/01/2020 14:46

Rylan would be as bad as Richard Ayoade - he is utterly gormless and comes across as dimmer than a 10 watt bulb.

GBBO needs someone intelligent and worry, who likes people and is good with them. Not some male barbie doll.

SoftBlocks · 18/01/2020 14:54

Good suggestion Katie Puckrick Parps!

It didn't rule out Sandi

Laurie01 · 18/01/2020 15:06

I think Gary Barlow, because Gary Barlow and Sandi Toksvik are basically the same only one is Male and one is female!

slipperywhensparticus · 18/01/2020 15:10

I think it needs to be a woman or it will end up too testosterone heavy

The loud lady from nailed it?,......perhaps not but I think I would love her in an english show

IntermittentParps · 18/01/2020 15:25

Thanks SoftBlocks I might write to them Grin

It didn't rule out Sandi
No, but she wasn't migrating from a similar BBC show like VCM or Claudia would, and like Sara C didn't.

TheSquitz · 18/01/2020 17:04

Yes to Liza Tarbuck and Susan Calman.

JustMyName · 18/01/2020 19:21

Emma Willis? Zoe Ball ..... but personally I'm thinking Susan Calman would be great.

CaptainMyCaptain · 19/01/2020 08:16

No to Zoe Ball, she always sounds on the verge of hysteria.

CanYouSmellMyCharlie · 19/01/2020 15:44

What about Dawn French? I reckon she would be a good laugh - and more than a match for Noel.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/01/2020 16:36

Jenny Eclair has the right name for it!

JustMyName · 19/01/2020 18:25

Ooh yes, Dawn French or Jennie Eclair, both would be great.

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 19/01/2020 21:42

Jenni Eclair is another great shout!

IntermittentParps · 20/01/2020 12:14

I really dislike Jenny Eclair. It's not very rational but I don't like her manner. I think she comes over as pleased with herself.

Zoe Ball is a bit hyper, I think. Having said that, being on something where she has to stand and encourage people while they do methodical work might calm her down?

5foot5 · 11/03/2020 13:40

So - just seen it announced - Sandi's replacement is Matt Lucas.

What do we think?

Doyoumind · 11/03/2020 13:44

I've just seen this too. I hadn't thought of him at all. It would have been good to have had a woman but he'll add to the comedy.

Biancadelrioisback · 11/03/2020 13:45

I just don't like him!
