Can't see another thread on this! Gather here GBSB fans smile

Is Sara Pascoe going to be presenting on the mainstream show as well?

@TameDucksAtChatsworth unfortunately I think she is.
I can’t stand her

I have never seen or heard of her before but I thought she was terrible, really terrible and I don't know if I would watch if she was presenting.

I think Mel Giedroyc would be good.

I think it will change the flavour of the programme...she was just so wooden.

Ooh Mel Giedroyc! Another good shout.

I'd like Aisling Bea or Alan Carr as well.

I'd rather have a non comedian and just someone who can sew. I don't want to watch a pantomime. They could bring in Jen from a couple of series ago. She's ran workshops at my local sewing shop and is lovely

Or Claudia W was good in it

Yes, an ex-contestant- but a nice one, not one of the drama queens.

I think Sarah's thing is to be quite wooden. She's like that in other stuff. Think she's supposed to be gauche and awkward. That's her act. I've like the two Christmas specials and think they got the mix right.

Same here Forestdweller

I liked the second show in particular (I don't especially rate Kate Botley - though I LOVED her Rudolph - and can't bear Anthony Cotton). All te others, plus Sara, were brilliant IMO.

Finally caught up!! How is an ice cream sundae Christmas food ?! Why did she sing Gloria and not a Christmas song and they all join in? Not keen on Sara pascoe. Liza tarbuck, Ellie Taylor or Mel giedroyc wouldn't great.
