  I felt it fell slightly flat.
  If she had brought on a leg of lamb, it would have been hilarious

  To me it was a prime example of the producers thinking 'ooh, Claudia's quirky. Let's make her do stupid stuff with props. So wacky!!!!'
  
  I do wish they would knob off and let the people they employed to do a job get on with doing that job, instead of imposing their own 'brilliant' ideas upon them.

  I didn't think it was funny or quirky. It was amateurish and didn't belong to the semi final night of SCD. Last night should have been about bigging up the celebs so their nerves didn't take over, not "look at how funny and quirky we are now that the old codger has gone". :mad:

  You are aware that it isn't actually important at all right?

  It was unfunny and pointless, and people complained about Brucies jokes

  I must have missed the joke. Seemed completely pointless to me.

  That's how I always find her. Irritating beyond words. I thought she was OK on ITT but not the big show.
  I wish I could sort of blend her out completely but all I can do is mute when she's on.

  I think Claudia's great, she's spontaneous and good at adlibbing. She's not to blame for the beef thing though OP, it was a scripted joke and whoever came up with it thought Claudia would make it work, but even she couldn't

  Random and was wrong.
  
  
  There wasn't any Yorkshire pud or roast potatoes.
  
  However not so sereal as some people pretending to offer and pass no existent good here on the spoiler thread, that's very random.

  I think the beef idea wasn't her own idea and she was asked to do it. Overall, I think Claudia is naturally witty as well as being good with the contestants, and I like her.

  I felt sorry for Claudia being asked/directed/told to try and pull off such a crummy ?joke.

  The comedy writing is generally quite poor and it relies on the hosts to put some life into it if they can. The same can be said of It Takes Two as well.

  I really like Claudia but that carry on was just embarrassing. She is SOOO much better than that.:(

  Claudia's attempts at being humerous just do not work, not for us anyway. We think it's quite cringeworthy.
  For goodness sake, if she just did the role of interviewing, she would be fine but coming on with a beef joint! Very strange.
  I do wish the beeb would pull the reigns in a bit.

  You know that the beeb have full control of the reins, don't you? No one is given free rein on the show.
  
  I am perpetually flummoxed by the fact that a considerable portion of the public can't see how heavily scripted and controlled the show is. Do you really think they just point a camera in the general direction of everyone and hope for the best?

  I'd say this was predictive text, but that would have corrected the spelling....
