I am really pleased with having new families for this new series! I did feel it needed some fresh people....and....er....no one has mentioned (or is it no one has noticed?) the absence of Sandy and Sandra!
(I, for one, am hoping they have been ditched).

Come to that - no Leon or June! Perhaps they are staggering the cast, i.e. they will be in the next episode.

shes had lipo to lose the weight quick, not a fan of hers at all, just a talentless fame hungry wannabe who is always on the dailymails sidebar of shame

When does Bake Off air on Channel 4?

When they can get decent presenters??

New families! . Scarlett has reduced herself

Anyone know where the blonde sister's blue shirt was from?

Not keen on the posh family that live in the mansion.

She's got a fitness DVD coming out, according to the Daily Mail.

Is that a big biscuit in the Malone's bowl ??

Was this new episode so boring that this is what stood out to you?

They've decided not to air it then?

No but I've never seen a biscuit like that before !

Ha! Actually I welcome a new format to Bake Off. Mel & Sue were far too smug for me...

Not really. The dad is not posh but old and rich, which is why he has a young family, unfortunately.

I love the new old ladies. The way they were talking about Brad Pitt and the fit young topless men outside reminded me of the two old ladies played by Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke): "Ooh, young maaaaaan!"

Dorset family, well posh darlings!

Looks like my little pony loooooool!

Great episode, love the two grannies and the black guys, posh family are extremely boring, don't know why they're there.

Where are Rev Kate/Sandy&Sandra/Steph&Dom?

Good question. I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks. Leo & June were in the title sequence, I can't recall if the others were.

(Must be about time the title sequence got updated?)

The Goggleboxers were quite harsh on C4's Hunted and any potential changes C4 might make to Bake Off (both justifiably !). Nice to see the editing wasn't skewed to sycophantically present C4 in a good light.

Gone with a bit of luck

I was surprised they included the bit about Channel 4 in at the end, for obvious reasons.

I didn't think the two old ladies said anything interesting at all. Glad to see a Leon free episode though. Ditto Sandra/Sandy.

I like the title sequence, I know it by heart and join in with Queenie's 'ya get me' in my head, every week.

Haven't watched this episode yet, but Ch 4 have never been afraid of one of their programs getting a shellacking, Sex Box is the one I remember the most.
Dad Micheal's left the room, mostly because Louis kept on saying Sex IIRC, but he left the room

Just watched the titles again.

Leon/June and Sandy/Sandra are still included.
Steph/Dom have been removed
Rev Kate/Graham aren't included but I don't think they ever were.

I agree with you about the 2 old ladies (Mary and Marina I think) + Sandra & Sandy!

Well Leon comes with June and she makes some good remarks!
