The Great British Bake Off (Channel 4 HD 8PM)

[Will.]

Tuesday's at 8PM!

The eighth series of The Great British Bake Off will begin on 29 August 2017, with this being the first of The Great British Bake Off to be broadcast on Channel 4, as the production company Love Productions opted to move the show.

It will also be the first series on the show for new hosts Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, and new judge Prue Leith.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes It needs a new thread for a new channel, format and line up

:clap1:

[Crimson Dynamo]

channel 4 HD

[LaLaLand]

Can't wait!

[Daniel-X]

Actually interested to see how it works on C4, haven't watched it since 2014 but will be watching tonight.

[Crimson Dynamo]

im actually having supper an hour earlier just for the event. I hope Noel dials it down a bit tho

[MB.]

I reckon it'll get about 6m with a peak of 7.5m

[Shaun]

bastards starting a minute or two early

C5 would never

[Braden]

This feels surreal.

[Shaun]

Ugh Sandi is a goddess :flutter: Noel isn't annoying either

[Morgan.]

Ew at the narrator

[MB.]

Noel's CBeebies Bedtime Stories voice <3

[Shaun]

@Loukas when the cast leaked I speculated on skype that Liam is 'a gay' can you confirm

[Jake.]

half of these cakes sound vile lol

[Daniel-X]

Wow, Julia legend

[Shaun]

Sophie being a bit alright and a veteran? There goes the LT vote for any of the others

[Shaun]

Oh Yan you bloody idiot!

[Jake.]

Flo >

[Shaun]

omfg Flo is the best person I have ever seen in my life

[Greg!]

i HATE Noel's narrator voice

[Greg!]

Oh hi this Scottish hottie

[Daniel-X]

So anyway, the winner Flo has arrived

[Jake.]

That cake sounds really good

[Crimson Dynamo]

Steven isn't your typical lad

[Shaun]

Stephen & Tom to hook up?

[Braden]

"I don't know what he's doing but I want to dip my finger in it."

That's too much, even for this show. C4 duttyin' up.

[Daniel-X]

Bake Off: The Scouse Takeover?

[Shaun]

Flo control yourself!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Andy Peters first boot?

[Braden]

Someone gif that blonde woman shaking her head immediately.

[Daniel-X]

Shshshsh Flo smashing up the kitchen

[Shaun]

Rhubarb Man ha downfall?

[Crimson Dynamo]

The state of the loaf cake

[MB.]

And in this ad break I shall go and stalk Tom on social media

[Braden]

I didn't know ads were part of the agreement.

[MB.]

...are all the ads going to be baking-related?

"Here at Lovehoney, we make sure to give you a soggy bottom!"

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm ordering stork with butter as I type

[BBUK-Fan]

Is it bad that I like all the bakers? Usually I have my few favourites

[Shaun]

YES FLO :clap1:

[smudgie]

Ooohhhh so pleased I gave into temptation.:cheer2:

[smudgie]

Soggy cakes all over.:joker:

[Shaun]

Yan comparing her cake to Peter Beardsley <3
Sophie in general <3

[Crimson Dynamo]

Paull already hitting on da hotty

:clap1:

[Shaun]

guessing Cadbury will be enjoying a Mini Roll boom a la Jaffa Cakes last year

[smudgie]

Dear god, he is quite clueless with this one.:laugh:

[Shaun]

Liam :worry:

[Owen19]

Loving Sandi!

[Braden]

Liam's mini rolls :joker:

[Shaun]

Peter breaking the mold and using milk chocolate to decorate <3

[smudgie]

Well done Kate.

[Shaun]

Chris or Stacey will be a perfectly acceptable first boot

[Jake.]

Peter breaking the mold and using milk chocolate to decorate <3

"It was... a mistake" lmao

[smudgie]

Hard task for first one.

[Shaun]

Think the champagne bucket looked good in the adverts so Sophie may have a winner here.

Watermelon looked good too but idk who's cooking that

[smudgie]

Think the champagne bucket looked good in the adverts so Sophie may have a winner here.

Watermelon looked good too but idk who's cooking that

I don't know most of the names yet.:conf:

[Shaun]

:umm2: @ a pork pie cake

[MB.]

Yasss Flo with the watermelon :clap1:

[Shaun]

Flo shouting "I'M GOING IN!" at her own oven <333333333333

[Crimson Dynamo]

Wow at Kate

[Crimson Dynamo]

Steven please leave

[Shaun]

Kate's looks scarily good. Stephen's looked OK in the adverts.

[MB.]

They should have banned them from baking anything that they actually bake on the show already (pancakes, bread) tbh

[MB.]

Bingate ha return?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Iv hardly noticed the ads

[smudgie]

Whaaaaatttt.:laugh::joker:

[Shaun]

Sophie not going back?

[Crimson Dynamo]

The watermelon

[smudgie]

Wow, go Flo.

[Shaun]

Chris is doomed. That pork pie looks naff as hell.

[Crimson Dynamo]

The greenhouse is fckd

[Jake.]

Yan's looks incredible

[Shaun]

:clap1: Yan

[Owen19]

Chris:skull:

[smudgie]

He needs to go.

[Shaun]

taxi for Chris!

[Jake.]

don't think peter's safe tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

The watermelon was a triumph

[Braden]

I thought Peter's was a gun on a loaf of bread :worry:

[Shaun]

Sophie's is ridiculous :clap1:
edit: NEVER MIND

[Crimson Dynamo]

Lol at the Black minge cake

[smudgie]

Wow.
Fantastic.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Sophies amazing

[Jake.]

Stephen :clap1:

[Shaun]

Stephen's won Star Baker then

[smudgie]

Liam doing well.
Looks scrumptious.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Stevens looks the biz

[Shaun]

problem with Liam's is that it makes you want pancakes instead

[smudgie]

Chris to go surely.

[Jake.]

Liam's looked amazing

You'd literally think those were pancakes

[Shaun]

not an ad break when there's only about 5 minutes of episode left

[MB.]

Having an ad for Celebs Go Dating in the middle of Bake Off is... odd

[MB.]

(yeah I thought there were only supposed to be three ad breaks?)

[Crimson Dynamo]

That illusion round had some pretty impressive stuff tbh

[smudgie]

Stephen...Flo...Liam top 3 I reckon in the showstopper.

[Morgan.]

(yeah I thought there were only supposed to be three ad breaks?)

I thought this too

[Shaun]

Stephen...Flo...Liam top 3 I reckon in the showstopper.

Same but replace Liam with Yan

[Jake.]

Deserved

[Jake.]

Called it!!

[Braden]

Peter <\3

[Shaun]

HOW DARE YOU?

[smudgie]

Good first show, excellent results as well.

[Braden]

I think it was ****ing Chris' turn, Paul!!

[BBUK-Fan]

Peter going over Stacey and Chris is b******s

[Morgan.]

Wow they film the results in the evening now?

[Crimson Dynamo]

His racist icing did for him

[Jake.]

wow rigged for Yan?

[Shaun]

Sandi and Flo to go seal-bashing together <3

[Crimson Dynamo]

Enjoyed that

[Morgan.]

Surprisingly good :clap2:

[Shaun]

Was never anything to worry about tbh

Sandi & Noel >>>>>>>>>> the try-hard Mel & Sue who peaked in series 3.

Only loss is Mary :(

[smudgie]

Excellent.
Missed Mary but I do love Pru, I have her cooking bible.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Sandi and Noel great chemistry

[Jake.]

First episode I've bothered with so thankfully it doesn't feel like I'm missing out on Mary

[Jake.]

+ Sandi/Noel >>

[Braden]

First episode I've bothered with so thankfully it doesn't feel like I'm missing out on Mary

+ Sandi/Noel >>

Oh, look at you with your strong Bake-Off opinions despite only watching 1 episode :inamood:

I agree, though, tbh re: Sandi and Noel. Mary is the only loss.

[Withano]

Controversial, but just as good as before imo.

[LaLaLand]

It's the same if not better than before, I prefer Sandi and Noel to Mel and Sue anyway.

Prue's gonna grow on me, just not used to not seeing Mary.

Otherwise, 10/10.

[Black Dagger]

Mel and Sue are irritants on everything bar Bake Off. Hate especially how her and Scott have become the perm Eurovision commentators. Sandi is a national treasure.

I miss Mary but Prue wasn't in anyway obnoxious or dull so she fits in nicely.

[Will.]

It was really good imo!

[Will.]

6.5M (30.4%) watched last night. :clap1:

4 million down on last year but that's amazing for Channel 4.

[Nicky91]

seen just bits of this on YouTube, but Flo :flutter:

[Gusto Brunt]

I'm not a fan of the show, but those viewing figures are truly amazing.

But when you think it's C4 it's even more astounding.

[Samm]

flo is winning btw

[Firewire]

flo is winning btw

she reminds me of Paul O'Grady :love:

[Samm]

she reminds me of Paul O'Grady :love:

[Owen19]

Flo the party girl:clap1:

[Pete.]

[Amy Jade]

All of them rushing to help the cute bloke and leaving the two other women to struggle :nono:

[Samm]

Tom is such a DAD

[Jake.]

rigged for Yen?

[Wizard.]

rigged for Yen?

:joker::joker: Muffin week for ha next week?

[Amy Jade]

Sophie and Flo are early faves

[Jake.]

Oh Flo </3

[Wizard.]

Flo the new Jayne Connery?

[Samm]

of course yen wins

[Jake.]

of course yen wins

:joker:

[Wizard.]

Hmm bet her parents own a Chinese takeaway

[Crimson Dynamo]

Go the stunt lady

[Wizard.]

Steven was my pre-season pick to win :love:

[Jake.]

hew

[Smithy]

Dad winning again :clap1:

[Shaun]

Correct decisions tonight. Luckily Stacey is useless too so we've surely got more than 1 more week of Flo :love:

[Morgan.]

I love a bang in the face - Prue Lieth, GBBO 2017

[MB.]

Flo did that :clap1:

also I want Tom to do me but that's nothing new

[supertv247]

The first episode of GBBO on Channel 4 has reached 12.5 million official viewers including all catch up (overnights+catch-up+All4+repeats) making it the channels most watched show in 32 years, dethroning Big Brother

[reece(:]

Poor Bruv x

I don't think repeats count when you are comparing?

[Jake.]

Omg </3

[Morgan.]

NOT FLO </3

[MB.]

Cancelled!

(well actually they made a Drag Race reference tonight so... it's not completely cancelled)

[MB.]

I like how the grainy caramel round was Bake Off's equivalent of the Drag Race Madonna runway

[Amy Jade]

I'm worried for Julia

[MB.]

ugh if they were going to off Tom then they could at least have had the decency to give Liam star baker

[Crimson Dynamo]

Great show last night. Star baker was well deserved. Liam needs to man up and stop crying like a baby and moaning all the time. The Scouse girl dodged a bullet and the midle aged lady with the dyed hair was unlucky not to be star baker.

3 handshakes from Paul :omgno:

and :laugh2: at the cock display of molten choc puddings

[Nicky91]

don't care :(

[Jake.]

Did anyone else find this really sad tonight? :(

[Withano]

Dont really understand how they came to the conclusion of 'Julia was worse than Stacey this week'.

[lewis111]

Glad I've not watched this series much cause Julia was the only thing I cared about after Flo left (apart from legend Yan)

[Jake.]

Dont really understand how they came to the conclusion of 'Julia was worse than Stacey this week'.

tbh

[Nicky91]

what a flop this show has become :joker: :joker: :joker: :facepalm:

[Morgan.]

Yan </3

[Nicky91]

don't care about this flop show anymore :hmph:

[Nicky91]

how can you be a legend on a flop show :fan:

[Black Dagger]

Shut up.

[Nicky91]

Shut up.

yes i will shut up

[Jessica.]

I am fuming

[Firewire]

Ruth Davidson is doing SU2C Bake Off

Can we get Nicki, Kezia and Willie and just go all out?

[Nicky91]

ah Great British Flop Off :hehe:

[Firewire]

well it's not a flop though is it

[MB.]

Shut up Nicky

[MB.]

By which I mean never post on this forum again ever

[Greg!]

I hate this cow!! can she stop trying to seem like a normal relatable gal, she's a TORY ffs!! Same as all the rest of them

[MB.]

I hate this cow!! can she stop trying to seem like a normal relatable gal, she's a TORY ffs!! Same as all the rest of them

Socialist icon Prue to sabotage ha schichttorte?

[Nicky91]

i won't shut up :nono:

[Shaun]

I gave up on this series a while ago and have only caught up if "it's been on at the time" but jesus... this is a weak and dull top four.

It's a shame because any criticism of this series will be used as anti-C4 or anti-Prue/Sandi/Noel sentiment, when they've all been fine to excellent.

[Jake.]

Liam shouldn’t have gone, but Kate :love:

[Jake.]

Shut up.

yes i will shut up

lol

[Jake.]

i won't shut up :nono:

oh

[MB.]

I've enjoyed this series, even though Steven is the only real standout in the top four (Stacey's also fun I guess)

Liam had better bloody get his own show after this though

[Firewire]

It's a poor top four, rooting for Steven now

[MB.]

The true top four is Steven, Liam, Julia and seminal rap superstar Flo

[lewis111]

Flo, Julia, Yan and Liam not making top 4 proves that Channel 4 hate the viewer
I do not care who was the worst I want you to keep the ones that we like so we keep watching - did Val deserve to get to like week 5? No but they kept her cause we all loved her

[MB.]

Flo, Julia, Yan and Liam not making top 4 proves that Channel 4 hate the viewer

Well it's not Channel 4 who make the show is it

[lewis111]

That was sarcastic but come to think of it the BBC did sometimes keep people that made better TV or that people would like when it was a relatively close call - they don't seem to be doing that this time

[lewis111]

Well it's not Channel 4 who make the show is it

They could've demanded that they re shoot they entire thing and allow Flo to win or refuse to show it, but the didn't

[Firewire]

Well that’s not how television works

[Amy Jade]

I've enjoyed this year, I do miss Mary but Prue is lovely and I doubt many will agree but I prefer Noel and Sandi to Mel and Sue. Sandi is actually one of the best tv presenters around imo, her being clearly emotional during eliminations is so sweet.

[Firewire]

Sandi is excellent

[MB.]

Sandicon <3

[Kizzy]

Gutted Liam went! Stacey is rubbish her showstopper was pants!! :(

[Headie]

How the **** is Stacey still in

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Steven in big headed
Stacey is an annoying bint who could **** in a pie and drizzle it with her piss and she would still get star baker
Kate is useless

and then we have Sophie... unedited, boring and smug... yet the most rootable one left?

[Nicky91]

Channel 4 has made the Bake Off, no wonder it flopped :joker: :joker:

[Jake.]

It hasn’t flopped though

[Morgan.]

Nicky you do even watch it so I recommend you leave this thread and stop saying it flopped in every comment, or watch it and give a proper opinion?

[Nicky91]

Nicky you do even watch it so I recommend you leave this thread and stop saying it flopped in every comment, or watch it and give a proper opinion?

i am not watching this ;) and i leave this thread okay

[MB.]

Well that's just stupid isn't it

[ethanjames]

honestly I'm so pissed liam left he was the only likable person left

[Nicky91]

yes Liam was quite nice, but i guess the show is about the baking, otherwise they would've renamed the show Great British Likeability Off :laugh2:

[DrunkerThanMoses]

yes Liam was quite nice, but i guess the show is about the baking, otherwise they would've renamed the show Great British Likeability Off :laugh2:

Yet someone gives them a bake with paper still stuck at the bottom.... yet still stays :conf:

[Nicky91]

oopsie bad judging then :joker:

[ethanjames]

yes Liam was quite nice, but i guess the show is about the baking, otherwise they would've renamed the show Great British Likeability Off :laugh2:

if it was about *baking* liam would still be on and Stacey would have been sent home weeks ago.

[ethanjames]

Yet someone gives them a bake with paper still stuck at the bottom.... yet still stays :conf:

:clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

[Nicky91]

if it was about *baking* liam would still be on and Stacey would have been sent home weeks ago.

i haven't watched, yeah only bits on YouTube, it just doesn't interest me since it's no longer on the bbc anymore

[BigSister]

Kate and Stacey should have gone weeks ago. Stephen should be there but hes won star baker two weeks so *shrugs* and Sophie is just safe and reliable with some good bakes. Nothing against Sandi or Noel Im actually surprised how much im enjoying Noel Fielding as a presenter and love anything Sandi does. Prue also although I do kinda miss Mary I like her better than I thought. Stephen probably has this in the bag either him or Sophie will win and even though I don't like Kate I much prefer her in the final than Stacey

[Firewire]

Crème de la Crème is also moving to Channel 4

:fist: :nono: Channel 4 stay away from the BBC shows damn it

[Jake.]

Best result :clap1:

[Wizard.]

Nah I’m over this rigged show. Katie has been the worst for the last three weeks and they only criticise Stacey’s showstopper despite it being the only one to hold together. CANCEL IT

[Jake.]

I mean I wouldn’t call leaning against eachother as “holding together” but yeah

[Wizard.]

I mean I wouldn’t call leaning against eachother as “holding together” but yeah

I’ve had 35 likes on my tweet about The Rigged British Bake Off so I think the public agrees with me!

[Amy Jade]

I felt it was a bit unfair to eliminate somebody who produced 3 good bakes when Steven had flopped on all 3 bakes this week, even if the flamingos were only rested the whole thing was still well presented.

It annoys me when they sway from week to week judging to suddenly deciding to look at all previous bakes to save somebody. Defeates the object of the show, judging every bake should happen in the final only imo

[Strictly Jake]

Yep Stacy was robbed there Steven was the worst baker of the episode he should have left clearly they needed him to stay in can't have 3 females in the final can we

I loved Stacy as well I wanted her to win

Kate just feels a bit similar to candice but not as good a baker

Sophie is good i like her but I don't think she has that winning charisma the likes of Nadiya have

Steven I think will probably win now

Wanted the final to be Julia Stacy and Liam. Oh well

[MB.]

Objectively Steven should probably have gone but subjectively I don't care this show has given me enough heartache already

[Morgan.]

Sophie to win, the only baker with an ounce of like ability as well as skill left.

[MB.]

I have no idea which show you're watching if you think there's one likeable person left and you think it's Sophie

[Morgan.]

I have no idea which show you're watching if you think there's one likeable person left and you think it's Sophie

I like them all to an extent - but if you look I said likeable as well as skilful. Steven is too cocky, but is talented. Kate is likeable but not as talented. Sophie is likebale and talented.

[Amy Jade]

Sophie is likeable, I think.

[BigSister]

Even though Stephen was probably the weakest this week Im glad Stacy went. Think Sophie will win but its between her and Stephen I think

[Shaun]

Both of the festive editions have been absolute treats :love: Val, Sandy, Rav, Beca, Selasi, Paul and Benjamina :love: idk her @ the first series one tonight

[Denver]

Terri Hatcher, Stacey Solomon and Lee Mack have signed up to celeb one

[Morgan.]

They're opening with Biscuit Week, surely that's the first time ever they haven't begun with cake?

[Crimson Dynamo]

:dance2:

[Wizard.]

Terry couldn’t even get his horse to move :joker:

[Mitchell]

Karen ftw

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ruby is the Indian Candice

[Shaun]

Love a lot of them.

My tip to win would be Briony.

[Shaun]

None of the three eliminations have been my favourites yet, so I am blessed :love:

Terry is such a frustrating one to support though. He's a sweetheart but makes the stupidest of mistakes and could've walked Star Baker this week if the bread actually proved. The only one left I'm kinda semi-rooting to go home next is Karen... something about her seems a bit snooty and irritating. Love all the others... even though Kim-Joy's love of cats is getting a bit excessive.

[Nicky91]

:skull: not being discussed as much as LT predicted it would

[Black Dagger]

Well you aren't watching so why do you care.

[Nicky91]

Well you aren't watching so why do you care.

i can't watch this, but if i could (if only it were still on BBC) then i would watch

[lewis111]

Ugh Brionny was clearly the worst this week it made no sense to save her

[MB.]

Briony :love:

[lewis111]

Oh my god could Rahul be anymore annoying? He knows fine we’ll all his bakes are amazing but puts on this shy under confident act to garner support
I shouldn’t be so bothered by someone in a baking show but OH MY GOD he’s awful to watch

[Crimson Dynamo]

I hate a samosa

[Shaun]

Oh my god could Rahul be anymore annoying? He knows fine we’ll all his bakes are amazing but puts on this shy under confident act to garner support
I shouldn’t be so bothered by someone in a baking show but OH MY GOD he’s awful to watch

I'm reporting this

Appalling hatred of the most inane kind

For real though. Plot twist: some people are just nice and shy.

[lewis111]

Yea but everyone these is nice and they’re not like that (bar Dan). And it’s every week he’s got a flawless bake sitting in front of him getting nothing but praise and he’s always like crying over it and making out it’s awful

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm reporting this

Appalling hatred of the most inane kind

For real though. Plot twist: some people are just nice and shy.

No he is a sneaky passive aggressive who cheats by calling his mum

Vile

[Black Dagger]

Shocking.

[Shaun]

I appreciate this is the worst place to express such a sentiment but: people watch too much reality TV. Not everyone is calculating. Just can't imagine getting so worked up over someone having insecurities on a baking show :joker: they can't possibly just have doubts and worries, nah, they're just fake sociopaths!!!!!!

[MB.]

Anyway none of this matters because Ruby is winning!

(Manon is coming le second)

[Shaun]

Rahul is a clear MILE ahead of Manon and you and your love of posh bitches will deal!

Also: is it just me that literally only noticed Bryony was disabled like...last week? :skull: aka 5 shows in? I genuinely never even noticed the first four weeks.

[Crimson Dynamo]

who will tell kim-joy that orange eye shadow is a no-no?

[Ammi]

I appreciate this is the worst place to express such a sentiment but: people watch too much reality TV. Not everyone is calculating. Just can't imagine getting so worked up over someone having insecurities on a baking show :joker: they can't possibly just have doubts and worries, nah, they're just fake sociopaths!!!!!!

...how can you say that or even be so fooled to think it when they’re all manipulating their sponges to rise and their biscuits to crisp ...don’t be fooled into thinking these things just happen on their own without extreme calculation...goddamn bakeopaths...the only real people in there are the ones with the consistent flat sponges...and do you see any of those normal people in there..NOOOOOOO...fake, fake, fake, fake, fake....

[Nicky91]

GBBO's contestants seem interesting, while from our dutch bakeoff well we got usually one or two interesting contestants and then also the boring, predictable joke contestant who sticks around for 6 episodes or so, while he/she should've gone first :laugh2:
