GBBO 2020!!

[5foot5]

I couldn't see a thread on this so apologies if there was one and I missed it.

Apparently this will be on before the end of the year, filming has just finished

GBBO

Yay!! Something good on the tele to look forward to for a change

Oh my God! I was feeling so depressed about telly – Strictly is going to be short and weird, Line of Duty, Shetland and Succession are all delayed indefinitely, who knows about the Sewing Bee...

This is a very welcome bit of good news even though Matt fucking Lucas is on it

Thank you!

Yay! I'm sad about Sandi leaving tbh but would prefer she left over Noel who I was initially dreading but love now. I enjoyed Matt Lucas' baked potato antics over lockdown so cautiously optimistic. Were they able to film any episodes before lockdown so there might be a big break between week 3/4?

First episode 22 September!

GBBO and Series 2 of Ghosts on the same night .

I just frightened the living daylights out of my husband by shrieking 'Yes!!!!!!!' and punching the air when I saw the trailer.

GBBO coming back is exactly what I need.

I'm sad Matt Lucas will be on it. I can't abide him so I won't be watching it.

I don't much take to him, but it could have been David Walliams, who makes my flesh creep. I'd have liked Mel and Sue back, tbh.

Very much looking forward to this! 🎂 🍰 🧁 😋

Love GBBO, Prue, Paul and Noel. Sorry but Matt Lucas is a big NO.

I’m sad about Sandi leaving tbh but would prefer she left over Noel who I was initially dreading but love now.

Totally with all of this. Though I have to confess I was dreading Noel because I was mixing him up with Russell Brand, who I can’t stand.

Hooray found you, it's TONIGHT!!!!! I don't mind Matt, he's quite sweet, but we need another woman not another unblokey bloke. Lisa Tarbuck would've been 100% better!

No It's tomorrow of course !!!!! Silly me !!!!!!

No It's tomorrow of course !!!!! Silly me !!!!!!

I can't wait !

redlock I wonder how they've coped with the judges distancing.

Hurrah! Glad there's a thread all prepared for tomorrow.

@ppeatfruit there's an article online that explains how they all made one covid-safe bubble. So the Hollywood Handshake prevails (unfortunately).

How the judges, crew, presenters and even their families lived together to stay covid safe

That's the badger

Ambivalent about Paul, Noel and Matt but I'm not a fan of Prue. I only made it a few pages into her autobiography before she started talking about how she killed animals as a child.

Marking my place for discussion later!

Thanks Momnis Annoyingly I've got an on line meeting with me old muckers, so I'll have to record it. I look forward to all your comments tomorrow morning!!

Can't wait! I've got a raspberry and almond tart to eat whilst watching which I'll drizzle some custard over!
Really don't like Matt, I hope he does a good job though.

Add me to the doesn't like Matt Lucas list, I find him really uncomfortable to watch. I'm going to do my very best to push past it as Bake Off is my comfort watch.

Had Paul lost weight? I've seen a couple of pics and he looks much thinner in the face.

I’m not sure about Matt Lucas being right for this but I will be watching anyway. And eating cake.

I am suprised Matt agreed to do the show. He seems to have gone into self chosen hibernation for the last few years and now pops up in the biggest show possible.

Oh FFS! I've been looking forward to this but had forgotten about Matt Lucas. What a replacement for Sandi
