I really don't like Toksvig or Pru at all. I can tolerate Fielding now though - he's doing "irreverent" but without being too stupid.
However, the format seems to have survived and it's still enjoyable telly. Is it me, or are the innuendos a bit closer to the mark than they were on the Beeb?

Could murder a tea cake now... 
Prompted the age-old question in our house though, as around these here parts a teacake doesn't have fruit in it! That's a fruit/current teacake 
This is a teacake
Even in South Yorkshire they look at you as if you are a bit soft in th'ead if you refer to them as teacakes, or plain teacakes, as they call them breadcakes. But then South Yorkshire is a bit special.

Looks like a bread roll?This is a teacake
If a bread roll is a teacake then what is a roll? A bap?

Used to live in Bedford and once asked for a teacake in a chippy
They sent someone out of the back door and bought a currant teacake and gave me that
Mind you, the heathens had no idea what a proper fishcake was either

Went into a Rotherham chippy and asked for a fishcake, they started to serve up one of those mashed potato, fish and parsley things covered in those nuclear orange breadcrumbs you can see from space. No no no, a fishcake please, whilst pointing at the appropriate items. Oh them are scollops. Personally at times think we should excommunicate that region.
Scraps or bits? Ask for them in Worcestershire and it's as if you're from Mars.

Unlike Mel and Sue, it's now Toksvig's show. She isn't particularly funny or likeable. Noel has been reduced to the role of her sidekick. Pru seems to be a bit up herself with no comic timing.I doubt I'll be back.

Oh FFS - now Noel & Sandi are being taken to task in the press (and certain aggressive safety groups) for the fridge closure joke 
Evidently C4 should have been forced to record a safety warning "don't do this at home" style message before & after the ad breaks to ensure nobody copies the scene on the show 
Some people and the press really must have nothing better to do this year
