Didn't see a thread. Starts tonight.

There was a poll on the local BBC site asking if people were watching after the latest revelations and sackings. Views seem mixed many saying its part it's best and needs to go, others saying they'll still watch it only fair to the contestants and many saying they couldn't care less about the GW/JT situation.

I’ll still watch, it’s all about the contestants. I’m in the camp that believes the show should be on, as not showing it would be very unfair to those who took part.

Having said that, good riddance to Wallace and Torode. The show needed a change anyway.

MinnieCauldwell · 06/08/2025 12:49

I plan to watch but looking forward to Andi Oliver taking over, was looking really tired anyway.

Sparticle · 06/08/2025 12:57

I’ll be watching some of it. MC Professionals is my favourite and sometimes I don’t bother with the normal MC but I actually want to watch this time as it will be more about the contestants and I feel sorry for them.

Tiredandtiredagain · 06/08/2025 12:58

Yep I’ll watch as I always do, but glad that all has come to light and it’s the last series with them.

it wouldn’t have been fair on the contestants to cancel this series.

PotterHead1985 · 06/08/2025 13:15

I'll be watching (except for when im not in). It will be weird without mammy tho

EveryKneeShallBow · 06/08/2025 14:33

I won’t be watching but I agree it’s only fair to the contestants to show it. I only watch The Professionals version. I think it was time for a recharge anyway.

whirlyhead · 06/08/2025 14:38

I can’t help thinking that all of the media’s reporting on it being unfair to the victims as they will be triggered by the sight of the 2 on their tv screens should maybe not use a picture of the 2 to illustrate their articles.

ilovesooty · 06/08/2025 14:55

I'll be watching.

Its not really a recharge, same show different presenters and they'll have viewers for and against them same as GW & JT. I suspect mumsnet over states how many are that bothered by their antics. We'll just be waiting to see what comes out about these two now.

I'll watch but through my fingers and with much swearing. Paging @TheDogsMother @Davros @RomainingToBeSeen @EsmaCannonball @jay55
And please add in everyone I’ve forgotten!

EsmaCannonball · 06/08/2025 19:08

Don't know about anyone else but I've had the song Seasons in the Sun going through my head for days now.

Nameinspirationneeded · 06/08/2025 19:20

I’m watching - the majority of the contestants wanted it to be shown so that’s good enough for me. My favourite is also professionals, but see how it goes.

TheAutumnCrow · 06/08/2025 19:30

I think it’s allegedly had ‘the banter’ taken out so what will we slag off?

Can I still say Fuck Off Gregg a lot anyway? For old times’ sake?

Rumour is it's so heavily redacted they've had to draft in the former head of the KGB Directorate S as series editor.

LaMarschallin · 06/08/2025 19:58

I'm another who's glad it's being shown.
Is it true that one of the contestants didn't want to be shown?
If so, I'm guessing it's likely be someone who wasn't in it for long so it wouldn't be too difficult to skip them.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 06/08/2025 19:59

If the BBC are hell-bent on showing the programme could they not at least "pixelate' the faces of GW and JT?

After all GW would only require one big pink blob (although there is a risk, that he wouldn't look much different.). 🤔

Evening!

lettingthedaysgoby · 06/08/2025 20:00

Checking in... unsure how I feel about this being on, but hopefully the banterless version with less Gregggg will be OK.

littlbrowndog · 06/08/2025 20:01

Evening. Looking forward to good cooking

MrsLargeEmbodied · 06/08/2025 20:01

i started but i couldnt carry on, i thought they would cut more of the two culprits, but the programme is still an hour long

littlbrowndog · 06/08/2025 20:02

Blimey. Heston

EsmaCannonball · 06/08/2025 20:02

Well, one week there's only going to be eleven contestants. Voiceover lady is already gaslighting us.

lettingthedaysgoby · 06/08/2025 20:03

At least Greggg doesn't last out the series, he was dropped for the semis and final.
