Tgbbo- Final .

[Bazile]

Sorry if this has been discussed recently

Myself and her indoors have just finished watching the final .

- We enjoyed the series - just as good as when it was on the beeb

- Prue Leith just as good as Mary Berry

- Sandi Toksvig - we didn't dislike her presenting

- Noel Fielding - Never heard of him before the show - wasn't sure if we would like him presenting - He's grown on us - We liked him in the end

- Paul Hollywood - dont think we would watch if he was not one of the judges

7 plus million viewers for the final - A success for C4

I bet the BBC secretly regret letting the show slip through their hands .

Anyone agree with my opinions ?

What is your opinion ?

[237SJ]

I used to watch it but the formula has not changed so I thought the whole thing became rather boring.

[Bazile]

Why would you fix it if it's not broken ?

[Georgiesmum]

Its not for me im afraid. Dont like Paul Hollywood, found his comments far too brutal..

[marval]

I watched it, I quite like it.

[pastafreak]

I liked it, and, I didn't mind Paul Hollywood's comments. I wouldn't expect a good judge to be nicey, nicey all the time.

[DarceyK123]

I actually preferred it. Didn't think I would but I did.
Always found Mary Berry a bit snooty and up herself if I'm honest.

I think the three new presenters did a great job. I'd never heard of Noel Fielding before this but I like him. It's one of those 'gentle' shows and I'm so pleased the format has remained the same. I record it now though so that I can zoom through the adverts.

[shoota]

Lost it's sparkle IMO.

There was a bit of a media storm when Prue let slip the name of the winner on twitter.
Daft woman.

Seems an OK show so far but was never a huge fan even when it was on the Beeb.

Pleasant enough way of watching tv tho.

[ummmm]

I don't watch it but have seen plenty of clips and I like the presenters.

I struggle to watch food programmes when I'm not hungry :-)

[bednobs]

i like the ads - time to make a cuppa!

[NoMercy]

I have to wonder whether Prue will be invited back next year in light of her gaffe.

I personally would replace Fielding with David Walliams (he made a fantastic judge on BGT) and Sandi T with Ruby Wax (I loves Rubes). Can you imagine the banter and innuendoes?

Regards this year, did Kate's longevity in the competition have anything to do with her accent?

Stephen peaked too soon, imo, and Sophie deserved to win.

[Bazile]

I wouldn't say Paul Hollywood's comments are brutal - they are just the facts .
It is a competition and it would be wrong to pretend something was good when it isn't .
If something is underbaked / overbaked , then there is only one way to say that - and that is , it's under/over baked .

I would stick with the presenters and judges for the next series .
Toksvig and Fielding provide , i think , just the right level of mirth , Afterall, it's a baking competition and not a comedy programme .
Ruby Wax i beleive would be too overpowering and would be a too much of a distraction .

[Robinia]

I don't usually watch competitive cookery shows, I hate all the angst, but I've watched GBBO because of the new line up. I enjoyed it and hope they have the same presenters and judges next time too.

[woofgang]

I thought it was lacking something.....not sure what but it seemed a bit flat this year. I also think its now a bit hurried because of the need to fit ads into the show. I don't think the team has gelled and wonder if it will.

[Islay]

I love it, and Pru Leith is fantastic and far superior to Mary Berry.
Love the two presenters and I would stop watching it if the names mentioned above were given the presenting slot.
Its a baking show, the odd bit of smut is OK but to fill it full of smut and crassness would be off putting.

[hereIam]

Won't be watching again if Prue Leith is in it. Didn't agree with the winner. First time I've watched it all the way through and found that I'm not really a big fan. Gutted when Liam left though.

[naomi24]

I read tonight that despite her 'oops' moment Pru has been booked for the next series.

[anneasquith]

I thought it would be rubbish without Mary Berry, but I like Pru .

[mazie]

I'm a massive Sandi fan, I also like Mel and Sue, especially Sue. Loving Pru and really enjoyed it.
