Catching up on Lexx as I missed it all those years ago. Pleasingly mental, if somewhat troubling due to the obsession with brains and sphincters.

Ooops, I spelled Tailor wrong, ahahahahahahaha, nice one
Because of reasons I only started watching it half an hour after it started, on catch-up. By the time it finished I had actually caught up!
I thought Pru was great, and the bloke (Noel?) I had never heard of wasnāt great.
Heās āfamousā for The Mighty Boosh.
Never heard of it
Fuck the bake off

Me neither, although it did have a fleeting glimpse of vinyl in that clip 
My sistor of 4 years younger loved it at the time, it didnāt do it for me to be honest.
Glad you noticed, I spent ages looking for that clip.
errā¦donāt worry next time 
I would have thought he would be more well known from āNever Mind the Buzzcocksā
He was also in the IT Crowd
I was a fan of the Mighty Boosh and saw their rather surreal tour a few years back. Met Noel at a party and heās exactly as he is on screen, a bit quiet and awkward but very funny if he sees an opportunity for his particular type of humour.
Heās a big alternative music fan and loves records.

I dip in and out of GBBO. Donāt mind it if itās on, but donāt make a special effort to watch it any more.
I did see last nightās and was very surprised how familiar it all felt. Yes I know the formula is the same, but the personnel did a decent job of keeping the same vibe. I thought Pru Leith did an excellent job of replacing Mary Berry. The show will probably succeed on that alone.
I also liked Noel from his previous stuff, but I can see that some more conservative viewers who havenāt seen him before will take a while to get used to him.

ā¦And agree that the advert breaks were brutal. Definitely one to pre-record or catchup.
She was great, felt like she had always been there.
I like Noel, just didnāt get all the fuss over the mighty boosh (from my Sister), but then Iām a Python fan and she didnāt get that because itās very old 
Iāve always liked Sandi, even since No.73, remember that?!
According to The Guardianās Mark Lawson, āThe eighth series of the extreme patisserie challenge manages to seem exactly the same but also just different enough.ā
Looks like Mark Lawson had similar sentiments to me.
