That was actually quite funny. Exactly the same as You're Fired though.
I thought it was weak.

That may have something to do with Jo Brand IMO, can't stand that woman. Would have been great with someone like Dara or Harry Hill hosting.

Anyway back on tonight, who's leaving? scratchchin

I'm sure I've seen this guy before somewhere...




The son of a baker from the village of Portknockie overlooking the Moray Firth, Mr Calder is the sole Scot to have made it into the final 12 for the new series of the BBC programme.

I think that Jordan is a bit of a tt. I reckon the old Scottish bloke will be a dark horse. He has played it simple so far, you wait and see. Bread next week, I reckon he will be ace at that.
Dunno, his Dad owned a bakery apparently.

As posted earlier he is playing the "keep it simple and don't screw up" strategy for the first few weeks. Maybe he will struggle with more complicated designs later on. His Zulu boats were basically a bit carp really.
His Dad owned the bakery in Portknockie, his brother took it over and ran it until he died.

Agree the Zulu boats were crap, the baskets of fish were overlooked I think.

This is the first time I've watched this programme. Has the standard of baker improved over the series? I understand it could be quite hard to actually make it on to the final 12. Circa 17000 applicants.

Norman - the message is clear...Step your game up!!!

???????? When it was filmed has nothing to do with my comment.
You're right of course, just ignore that bit. I misunderestimated you. I may have had a few drinks.
