BBC 2 8pm tonight (feb 1st) Tom Kerridge is one of the new judges.

Can't wait to see some soil and steam and shoehorned themes.

Beverly knight and passion fruit. The brief ?

@EsmaCannonball

Ok, so we're all agreed that Beverly Knight's Favourite Dessert is a worse interpretation of the brief than Moon Landings?

Have none of these people ever heard of Bullseye? Some beef on a speedboat would have done it.

😂 Yeah, I guess the moon landings were kind of a seminal moment in tv history, Beverley Knight is just one of a huge number of people who appeared on TOTP.

Top of the pops food is a packet of crisps and a glass of tizer.

And passion fruit is not a nostalgic food whatsoever.

Somebody next week’s going to do fish & chips because somebody on Corrie once got some for their tea…

littlbrowndog · 02/02/2022 20:55

I bet Betty’s hotpot will feature

Sunbird24 · 02/02/2022 20:58

The link to the brief wasn’t very strong Aktar! If it wasn’t for the logo in the bowl and maybe the disco ball cloche you wouldn’t have had a clue!

Yeah we ate ants when life was simpler

littlbrowndog · 02/02/2022 20:59

Sally did great

littlbrowndog · 02/02/2022 20:59

Night all

Sunbird24 · 02/02/2022 21:00

Ooh, different judges! Who else was it apart from Tom Kerridge, I wasn’t paying attention?

EsmaCannonball · 02/02/2022 21:03

I'm glad that they got rid of the panel of miseries but I'm worried that having a comedian on the panel is going too far the other way. Does he have any connection to food?

Sunbird24 · 02/02/2022 21:11

As much connection as Ben’s dessert had to the brief? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is the sound nuts for everyone tonight?

Evening!

LizzoBorden · 03/02/2022 20:02

@jay55 Yep!

Sunbird24 · 03/02/2022 20:02

I was thinking that Jay, the backing music was louder than Andi

MakeUsACuppa · 03/02/2022 20:04

I've just discovered this series, it's fab & yes it sounds like they've shut Andi in a cupboard!

I'm relieved it's not my tv broken. But not sure I can keep watching.

I’ve got subtitles on…

Sunbird24 · 03/02/2022 20:13

Sally’s off to a good start, shame about the sound engineer

EsmaCannonball · 03/02/2022 20:15

I don't understand why the canapés don't have to have a connection to the brief. They have in previous years.
