Tuning in for the first time about 2 years i think. Just didn't bother at all last year maybe the year before as well. Gonna give it a go and see if there is any magic coming back for me.

I know everyone was dogging on her in the papers, etc. but I'm quite enjoying Alison with Noel. It's early doors, of course.
Oh, so a vertical layer cake is just a giant swiss roll? That's not a thing. Just call it a giant swiss roll.
Quite enjoying Alison and Noel but I think that’s because Noel could present with a coconut on a stick and I’d enjoy it 
there seems to be a lot of finger licking and poking at buttercream in this tent 🫣

You wouldn’t necessarily think so, but they do seem to have more of a rapport than Noel and Matt did.
Where can you go from a hug? Home!
Watching for the 1st time in a good while, just lost its sparkle for me, before I wouldn't have missed it. Liking Alison so far.

Are Noel's sideburns a new look or have I just not noticed them before? They're staring right at me.
I like Alison too, they needed someone a bit more friendly and genuine to balance out kooky Noel.
Still cannot for the life of me figure out how three layers of Swiss roll makes a vertical cake
What the hell was with Paul hugging that lady.. I thought he’d turned over a new, kinder leaf but nah he’s still an hole
and what on Earth has Prue got hanging round her neck?

Liking all the contestants so far
Also, the magic of being so enthralled in the success of bakes never gets old

Alison is ok in this and I'll tell you why....because she isn't the main focus like when she's presenting TM. The main focus in this show are the contestants, the baking and Paul & Prue
I bake. I make a lot of tarts and pastry (and my own pasta when I have patience) but vertical cake was new to me!
When decorating, they better not have the missing raspberry on the cake. That's the point.
That cake looks 
and I'm not even keen on fudge

I agree. I don't watch TM but I was of the era where I watched her on BB. I think she's coming across well. I was disappointed when Sandi left and was patient but this is better than Matt.
Me too….and Mary Berry
