I like the set, much better than SFTW (Even if the set needs toning down). I think c4 should try Fiona Phillips as a female presenter, she doesnt have anything to do now does she!?

Not one of you have mentioned the very retro but cool looking Channel 4 sign!

Completely forgot to watch this. The call of a blue sky and a lawn that needed mowing distracted me. Sounds like I didn't miss much though.

Dear God NO. I'd far rather watch and listen to Lou if it came to it.

Didn't like the set much at all. Horrible back drop to the kitchen and awful cheap and garish sofa arrangement.

I didn't like it ending with them all stood around the kitchen counters either - much better at the table.

On the other hand, prefer the playlist to the deja vu segment which I always used to ignore. Think that works well both sides of a break - and I don't mind the breaks on a Sunday morning as I potter making coffee and breakfast and do other stuff at the same time as watching.

I liked the new wine lady, Rebecca something? although I liked Wayne as well.
Wont miss the gadget sections that always had totally over priced stuff that no one really needs.

Overall for Sunday morning TV, it's a thumbs up from me. Zac was a great guest today, hope they get others on the same level.

Fiona Phillips...No thank you, not really a sign of a good presenter if she has nothing to do!

She's too old for this kind of show.

I'd like to see it, but everything's in London when it comes to plays

Agreed. It just looked weird. Why try and change the things that worked?

Yes, they can be a help rather than a hindrance with this, given the timeslot. There was never anything on the tellybox between 11.30 and 12, anyway, prior to Sunday/Politics Show.

I liked "Gadget roulette" but it's obvious that they were only calling it that after the show's axing had been announced.

I wonder if they will thank Danny after his cooking, or will they just march off to the table like last week...

Hot Can: good idea but packaging needs to be more eye-catching/attractive.

What a boring show this is.

It's like they are trying to drive away the instant audience from the BBC2 days.

Won't bother again.

About 10 years ago, Nescafe trialled self-heating cans of coffee in the WH Smiths at Waterloo station and they were great. Really useful to grab before the last train home and actually quite tasty.

Can't have been a success, though, as they disappeared without trace.

I don't think LIsa likes Tim. She made a remark at the start about how he always look shocked that she can cook. And her face when Tim didn't know who Mary Berry was!

It's like watching a pair of creepy Uncles who haven't got along with each other for years. The chef is like a wheel on a horse sat on that couch.

I think they're friends.
Got a feeling she's being lined up for this show too.

They are good friends, I think.

Lisa would be an excellent permanent addition, IMO.

If you've got Spotify, you can download the playlist for it from http://www.channel4.com/programmes/s...runch-playlist

Please axe the trend spotter feature. Adding fashion items to a male skewed programme presented by two 40 something blokes is cringe worthy.

I'm warming to the drinks expert though, despite the fact she isn't a Mixologist.

I missed a chunk of the programme, were the self-heating cans an April Fools?

I'm not really into this Tim fellow at all. Also it would be nice if the presenters could remember they have an audience and cut down on some of the in jokes.

I agree with all the other posters on here, Lisa would make a great presenter, she's witty, interesting and can cook too.

Get her on!
