Thanks for tag but I dont watch this one. Just celeb and normal. But I may give it a go.

Not to worry @GrandTheftWalrus - I wasn’t sure who watches what so I just tagged who I could remember. Hope you’re well though!

Yeah all good. Think ill set it to record and give it a go. Tbf I've never actually watched it.

Would you recommend?

Thanks for the tag @Halsall. Looking forward to seeing you all there next week.

Who is Matt?

Chef Matt Tebbutt has been announced as the third presenter for Masterchef: The Professionals.

I think we usually enjoy it on here just as much, and you'd be surprised how many professionals come to grief in the first test! (A particularly gruesome sweetbreads challenge lingers in the mind)

You've convinced me. Recording set.

The professionals is my favourite of all of them. Plus I think Matt Tebbutt is a brilliant choice. Wish he was on the regular show tbh.

Who can forget the cod omelette? 🤢

Thank you @Halsall

Looking forward to this one - and Matt Tebbutt!

I’m excited! Thanks for the notice @Halsall I’d seen one trailer only and had been wondering when it’s starting 🍴

I usually lurk on these threads but placemarking here. Very excited to see the new season. The long winter nights in November and December were very boring without Marcus and Monica!

Welcome aboard @SunMootStars 😊

I’ve reevaluated Marcus, having thought he was a bit of a dickhead with stupid hair. Seeing him more as himself on other programmes, I think he’s alright

Im bored of Monica and never liked Marcus and cant stand that Matt Tebbut

Thank you - I'll be here 😊

I’m curious so I’ll give it a go.

Thank you, I usually lurk.

Hello everyone will be watching. Matt Tebbut’s laugh annoys me - if I watch Saturday Kitchen I have to turn the sound off. Not keen on Marcus either and if he says 'awlmond' I think I'll scream! Monica is great though.

See you tomorrow!

How should almond be pronounced? I’m not from the UK originally and I never really know.

I think I mostly say al - mond, not all - mond.

Well hello all. So excited for tomorrow. Watching MC with you lot is one of the things that's got me through these last 9 months. Miss MammyPotters quits, but Esma has filled that role nicely

I suppose ahmond would be closest?

Hey @PotterHead1985 ! 👋
