Apologies if there is already a thread, I did search and couldn't find one.

Also Apologies I don't know how to tag folk so hopefully ye all find me!!

My thoughts exactly!

Is it really a world-class judging panel?

Yes, although I can remember one or two shocks in the past when the judges have had a completely different perspective from the weekly mentor.

I am Team Orry but I'm not really invested and can't see him getting to the banquet.

I like Andi’s frock tonight

I'm not a fan of the totally unfunny skit at the start. Which is a shame, as I like Phil Wang. But just, no.

I think Orry is competent enough on the basics to not crash and burn, but Jun may do it with the fish, if the judges ignore the tenuous link.

Scottish food:

Lorne sausage
Paradise slices
Pineapple tarts
Scotch Pies

(I still need someone to invent vegetarian Scotch pies and Lorne sausage). And I am with Billy Connolly in insisting that the correct beverage to go with a Lorne sausage is a cup of tea.

Oh, I do know who she is, hadn’t connected the name with the face

And Clootie Dumpling.

'I'm a huge fan of British films.'

Well, prepare to be fecking crestfallen tonight, Katherine.

I've read Rivals (a lot!) but not seen it. Who does this one play?
I'd Google but I'm eating supper (Ottolenghi lentil soup and cornbread)

I still don't get why they don't make them theme the canapés.

Yeah, makes no sense when everything else is themed

What's with the serial killer gloves?

I haven't read it but I watched the TV series and it was really good fun. She plays, I think, Lizzie? The one who is the romantic novelist. She and Danny Dyer's character were my favourite thing in it.

Macaroni cheese pie. Very good

It's proper old Hollywood. Can see Ginger Rogers or Joan Crawford in it.

Thanks, @EsmaCannonball 😊
Yes, I can see her as Lizzie (padded out a bit).
Eta Hope she had a fringe!

I really like jun.

Andi's dress has a touch of the K-Mid at a film premiere about it - can't remember the film

This dress?

Oh lovely dress

Tweezering all that micro mustard and those tuiles in a box-room sized kitchen at the banquet would be such fun.

That's the one, @Sunbird24 !

No Time to Die!

Tom and Lorna did not look impressed with the link to Gemma Chan!
