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.

Maybe he should have used a cloche hat as a cover, since Cilla was always mentioning buying a new 'at for a Blind Date wedding.

That’s a good shout @LaMarschallin

Dave’s ‘everything cooked at the last minute’ fish course would be a bit hairy for a banquet

When I was a kid there were sometimes Chinese acrobats at the royal variety. But it's a a sails straight past the brief for me. As almost everything has this week.

When the crockery is your favourite part of the dish...

EsmaCannonball · 10/02/2022 20:31

I like Tom but it does feel like his views dominate the panel.

Sunbird24 · 10/02/2022 20:31

Andi somewhat overegging the judges’ comments there…

LaMarschallin · 10/02/2022 20:36

Since the breakfast is to celebrate Terry Wogan's breakfast show, maybe it should have been more of an Irish breakfast.
Soda bread not a crumpet and some take on white pudding perhaps.

Still wouldn't be a banquet dish though.

Sunbird24 · 10/02/2022 20:58

I think Tom’s right about switching the starter and main. Wasn’t expecting such a difference in points though!

Absolutely!
The swap might make a huge difference.

Don't think I've ever seen such low marks on GBM before.
2 for the jam butty pudding? Yikes!

I'm not enjoying Tom Kerridge as a judge. He comes across as superior to the other judges and like his opinion is more valuable. I'm glad Andi Oliver is still on it as she's great.

Babysharkdoodoodood · 12/02/2022 00:39

I just want to know where Andi gets her clothes fromGrin

Okay but curry doesn't lend itself to dainty. I'd just feel short changed even if it is a starter.
