Despite the fact that it seems like 5 minutes since the Professionals ended, the new (ordinary) MC starts on Tuesday at 9. Couldn’t see a thread but happy to merge if there’s another already.

Who's in?

Having found gregg, and to a lesser extent, john, extremely irritating for years, plus the stale format, I stopped watching regular masterchef. But I am definitely looking forward to trying again with the new season!

Also planning to watch masterchef australia if I can find the links!

Can’t wait, thanks for including me on the thread. Can I just say Hen of the Woods

Cookingdoesntgettougher · 19/04/2026 22:29

for the card
ooing and ahhing about previous winners and how amazing it is to cook for them when we barely remember them. Might change because these two can’t talk what they were like as contestants

Hoping they get rid of standing next to a contestant when they are concentrating or chatting about how busy they are and you just know that the contestant wants to say fuck off and let me get on. However I expect it’s baked in now.

Can I say "me and my wife" (not that there is anything wrong with that as my daughter has a wife) but they make such a big issue of it as if it is something special.

Halsall · 20/04/2026 00:03

I've just remembered that god-awful new challenge of having to taste cubes of things while blindfolded. Praying they’ll have forgotten about it for this series.

What ho Chuffs! I will be in as much as I can but may have to watch some on Catch Up as I am directing a play this year with rehearsals on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Can't wait to see how it all pans out.

Thanks for the thread and the reminder. I'm looking forward to it. Got completely left behind on GBM thanks to visitors ataying and all the domestic obligations

Hi, is this for series 22?
There’s three episodes on iPlayer already. Can I comment or people haven't got to watch them yet?

Please don't. I'm going to watch in real time tonight although I'll have to watch Wednesday either beforehand or on catch up. Football calls.

Noted! :)
I was confused as they are normally on iPlayer only after they’ve been aired.

HelloMist · Yesterday 15:39

Excited it's back. I will definitely be reading along here but can't watch live tonight.

bluescarf · Yesterday 15:45

Yes! Loved Grace on the last series and Anna is very watchable and knowledgeable too.

The set looks different too from what I've seen. Had a refit.

I’m looking forward to seeing it. I actually really enjoyed Anna in the Professionals series she did.

My challenge will be staying awake until 9pm.
