    Norman and Nancy for the final !
    Fantastic start to the show, love the way Mary and Paul engage with the contestants during judging. Their criticism is so constructive and FAR removed from Biddy nodding up at Paul in the GIBO

    Pretty happy that Claire is gone. She annoyed me from the beginning.

    Great start to the show. :) Mel and Sue are just brilliant and I don't dislike anyone yet. (Apart from Claire. Claire made me feel punchily.)

    I made a chocolate Swiss roll this afternoon in preparation! It was tasty and it's important to have snacks while watching! Think the right one went home but I really don't like Jordan already for some reason.

    I prefer Anna Nolan in the Great Irish Bake-Off.

    Anyone know if and when it's repeated?

    Saturday at 11.30am, possibly on BBC2 not BBC1?
    Edit: just checked, it is on BBC1, I got mixed up with Jo Brand's 'Extra Slice' thingy on 2 tomorrow night!

    I might just watch it all over again. :D Saturday morning cup of coffee, a slice of cake and GBBO sounds good.

    Great start, some really talented bakers. Had a feeling Claire was gone when she disagreed with the judges about the cream!
    Norman and Nancy the ones to watch.
    Off to catch up on the extra slice programme...

    I like the extra slice but I think it would be better straight after the main show instead of having to wait!

    Just after watching the first episode. I was very impressed with the presentation of the swiss rolls. I actually feel inspired to make one but the rolling always scares me :eek:

    Like Martha and Norman so far. I always love the older male contestants. Brendan was my favourite a few years back. He was unlucky not to win.

    Not so sure about Iain and Jordan. Iain's beard needs a good trim and Jordan's hair needs to be pulled right back. I'm a stickler for good hygiene in the kitchen and the hair and beard creeped me out a bit.

    Just caught up on An Extra Slice. I really enjoyed it. Claire came across so much better on it than she did on the actual Bake Off.

    I thought the same! I felt she was quite 'dark' on the Bake Off, but she seemed so good natured on the Extra Slice show - I'm looking forward to the rest of the series of both shows :)

    I slept late this morning (really awful night before) so I missed it AGAIN.
    I don't suppose there's any way of watching it online for free, is there? :(
