I feel that Julia possibly shouldn't be on Bake Off if she is on the verge of a nervous breakdown at the mildest constructive criticism.

Prue is currently the best thing on GBBO:TNG. Noel's trying to do his surreal comedy thing and it's just not landing with anyone. Like, at all. Sandi is there?

I like the way he just jettisoned all pretence of innuendo during the technical and went straight for the 'I'll get me arse out' joke.

That's pretty much what Ruby Tandoh was like at the beginning and she nearly won the whole show!

I realise nobody has said a bad word against her yet, just wanted to make my position clear.

Lets talk bake off.

Was surprised how little was changed though I found it odd how it seemed to have been filmed largely at night. Noel seemed awkward and Sandy was just phoning it in - not a great replacement for Mel and Sue and I don't think they'll last more than one series together.

The new one woman baker judge is fine and I prefer her to Mary 'claw hands' Berry. Good bakers this series too.

Anyone watch quacks on bbc 2 ? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search?q=quacks

Just a recommendation post, really funny I thought, binge watched 4 of them this evening. Love the characters. You have a snobby doctor, a druggie dentist and a psychiatrist who loves the snobby doctors beautiful intelligent and downtrodden because she is a women wife.

Cameos from Charles Dickens and Florence Nightingale :)

Bit of a rubbish finale wasn't it?

Here's to hoping The Cuckoo's Calling also doesn't land short with a shite final episode. I've had the audiobook for ages and never bothered listening to it, but a friend and I have liked the show so far.

It was alright. I liked Noel a whole lot more than I expected to. Otherwise it felt like very little had changed. The new judge is good, Paul still seems like a bit of a dickbag. Disappointed in Sandi, but I'm not sure what I'd rather she was doing.

Noels voiceovers sounded like he was taking the piss.
He's right to be worried that this will end his career.

The watermelon cake was cool, but the sandwich was outstanding.

Good that they've not got a double act in to host, as they can replace one of Noel / Sandy as needed to tweak things in future.

I think it's fine, will say that watching on All4 vs iPlayer is torture due to the adverts.

I just think she's boring af and not at all funny. Her presenting style is utter poo poo. Like a headmistress at a poo poo school.
Plus the daft old Amy schumer gambits where she thinks if someone doesn't like her or want to pay her infinite money they're sexist.
Really dislike the woman.

Noel's not much better the whole random pound shop surreality schitck is done.

I thought prue was nice though which was a good surprise.

As in the original series' ? They were shot on video, so alas what you see is what you get.

Yet weirdly for the S2 behind the scenes documentary (also on Netflix), the clips they use for the show look better and weirdly are also in wide-screen, though I suspect that's just some cropping and zooming on their part.

I remember liking the end of the book quite a bit. Rowling's gift for plotting pays off. The second book is probably just as good but it goes off the rails in the third one. On the one hand it's gloriously trashy and you can picture Rowling having a blast with it, but it also makes some real poor decisions (And turns Robin's boyfriend into a villain - not literally - for no good reason).

I've only just started watching it, as even though people said it was good the idea of BBC 3 doing a sitcom about something I care about just sounds like a car crash, but they nail it. Not sure Grindah will ever be suitable for any other roles but he kills. Incredible casting.

My only concern is the 'grindah isn't his kids real dad' thing is already getting on my nerves a bit with the continued awkward camera pans and I hope that gets resolved before long.

Chabuddy G and his various schemes, especially the 'Polish' Vodka, are amazing.

Yeah it was shot on widescreen according to IMDb. Maybe the versions that are used for online streaming are just cheap and lazy compared to what is actually possible? It's a weird show as I could've sworn for years it didn't have a laugh track but it does (although I believe you could turn it off on the DVD?).

It never gets resolved, but it only comes up as an occasional punchline later on.

Chabuddy only gets better as time goes on too.

Series 1 and 2 had the laugh track, but series 3 didn't.
