Starts today 16/1 at 5pm channel4.

New age range this year which makes a lot of sense.

Hope it's good, I do like Liam and Rav as judges.

I love Harry Hill too. He’s got a very difficult job as he has to interact with the contestants but also present the show for a watching audience that’s made up of plenty of adults (like us!). I like the fact that they treat him with barely-concealed disdain sometimes 😂

I felt for the one who left today, right decision. No idea how they got through in the first place.

I loved the boy telling him You've Been Framed was one of the best programmes ever Grin

Aww poor Jamie. Love his hat.

Are most of them stage school kids?

Think Harry Hill is good with them, some of the kids are quite rude.

PinotGroggio · 24/01/2023 20:29

Agree about some of the kids being rude to Harry. Not Thomas though, he was vair well-mannered and polite!

littlbrowndog · 24/01/2023 20:46

I love it.

Toddlerteaplease · 25/01/2023 10:19

Totally agree with Thomas that St Paul's Cathedral Is a wonder of the world.

Am I alone in cringing at Harry Hill? He just seems so inappropriate, so many other lovely presenters that would be so much better. His jokes are meaningless to the children and often verging on creepy. Everything else about the show makes it lovely family viewing, but he spoils it.

No you're not aloneM.

JaneJeffer · 25/01/2023 17:12

Is Poppy related to Harry? Dogs look better with heads Grin

sailingsunshine · 25/01/2023 17:26

Thomas makes very good television!

Blueberrycreampie · 25/01/2023 21:06

I loved how someone's best friend is a fish!

LaBelleSauvage123 · 25/01/2023 21:21

Not quite sure how Tristan got onto the show! It’s turning out to be a bit of a two horse race this week isn’t it? My money is on either Thomas or Amelia to win the whole thing.

JaneJeffer · 27/01/2023 17:57

Aww Harrison. He was great. I loved when he took all the wooden spoons for his brandy snaps Grin

I absolutely loved the expressions on his face, especially when he was concentrating hard. I'm sorry he's gone but it was the right decision!

I love Harry Hill in this, the fact that the kids don’t get his jokes is pretty much the joke. He does enough slapstick silly stuff to keep the kids happy.

I love JBO. Prefer it to the adult one these days.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 28/01/2023 20:58

I think it’s funny how Amelia and Thomas laugh at Harry’s jokes politely even when they are obviously bemused, whereas some of the others, esp Mya, show barely veiled disdain!

Ellmau · 29/01/2023 14:39

I really don't think I could bring myself to eat a choux pretending to be a Covid virus.

Umanresources · 29/01/2023 18:15

We love Harry. Just hoping he doesn’t hurt himself like last time, jumping about. I love the contestants’ reactions at his jokes, especially the granny and wife jokes.
Some of the bakers have us in stitches, “I’ll just put it back into the oven, perhaps it will stick itself back together again!” 😂

Ellmau · 29/01/2023 18:43

I think Harry is brilliant on this.

Halsall · 31/01/2023 17:18

Did Thomas just say 'designated coconut'? 😂

Toddlerteaplease · 31/01/2023 17:24

I think the smaller age range is much better this year.

efeslight · 31/01/2023 17:30

We are also big fans, i like HH, he keeps it light and reminds me of a fun uncle!
Yes, him prattling on while the kids humour him or ignore him is the big joke.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 31/01/2023 19:04

I think someone has had a word with Mya to be a bit more responsive to Harry! Loved today's episode and just about to start my first bagel dough. Will make normal size ones though...

PinotGroggio · 31/01/2023 19:23

Thomas is from London, how has he never had street food?
