Great British Sewing Bee

[Eirawen]

Toyahs face is scary

It looks soft and mellow to what it was like when she was young!!

 

[Dizzy]

I find the stubble with a moustache weirdly irritating

He lacked confidence I think. Fish out of water.

Where’s sewing bee?….

Bbc2 or watch via iplayer

Brogans BF was quite hot lol

I missed the start of the episode last night. They are not in London any more. Did they say where, or whether it is their new home? I think Patrick lives mainly up north (Yorkshire?) these days as one of his companies is there - Community Clothing I think it is called.

Yes I agree with the view that Damien seems a bit over confident.

I don't think I could finish a whole coat with pockets and studs in the time that they get so I don't envy them. I spent last Saturday swearing when I struggled with making a shell top Managed it in the end though!

Tony's dress was strange and fabulous, I loved how his tiny little model was clearly delighted to be wearing it. I think that's what gave him the edge, there's nothing like seeing someone wear a dress that clearly makes them feel like God Queen Ballerina, or whatever it was that little girl was imagining herself as when she was doing high-kicks in it during the judging.

Kind of sad that Fauve went, I thought she was sweet, in a slightly highly strung, eccentric way. She made me laugh a good few times, and I honestly thought they would take the decision to have a No-Boot Week this week.

So thank you for telling me that -- we don't usually tell this until a couple of days later as some us don't watch until tomorrow but do like to hear discussions without names.

I was really disappointed that Joe wasn’t hosting

I wasn’t

 

[Mark81]

She was a HR manager, plays bridge and tennis and obviously comes from money as her father was once chairman of Nottm Forest Football Club and she studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Haha I'd have bet money on her working in HR. Not surprised in that at all. Must have missed them saying that

 

[Captainmouse]

Sorry, Lizzie's is horrible

 

[Adayinthelife]

Somewhere in Leeds. Not sure if it’s a permanent thing but possible

 

[Restless Native]

I thought they were quite critical of Brogan this week ? She's quite similar to last years winner. Marnie was bad this week

 

[Adayinthelife]

I missed the first ep but watched this week. We need someone to be seriously irritating like Brogan to have a chance of a lively thread
Right person went but someone was very lucky

 

[Mark81]

The list is so long: Taskmaster, QI, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Would I Lie to You, Travelman, Nevermind the Buzzcock, I Have got News for You etc. More recently, she presents another tv program which I choose not to watch. As soon as I see her face or hear her voice, the remote appears automatically in my hands. She thinks she is funny but is pathetic.
And now she is here to spoil the Sewing Bee

Ah that'll be why...I don't watch any of those

 

[House of Tea]

This latest series not grabbing people’s attention judging by lack of posts on the new series?

 

[Captainmouse]

Shame it’s Sara.

Esme has a book out. She has led a full life.

Rather Sara than joe, but still miss claud

 

[Dizzy]

Behind the Seams is the name of Esmes' book. I'm thinking about getting it, might wait until it comes out in paperback.

Thank you @Lostcat

 

[Jusa]

I prefer Sara to both Joe and Claudia, I think she's less attention seeking

 

[Captainmouse]

There are some marvellous sewers this series. They have stepped it up a gear. Right person went today.

But the bad ones are bad. Right person went

Red alert - The Sewing Bee is on tonight! That sounds dramatic but I said it was on NY Eve or night. Got it wrong!

Claire from Steps was on Lorraine last week so I put it in the planner.
Tonight's line up looks so much better than last weeks.

Possibly NY day ? Can watch it live on I player tonight though

Think you might have to wait until tomorrow.
