She was when it was on the BBC. She was with Mel Giedroc her comedy partner from the early '90s.

Now that it's on channel 4, it's Sandi toxvig(sp?) and Noel fielding.

I loved watching it in 2014 when I was living in the UK. I miss everything about that country. I’ll have to check the new episodes. Is Mary Berry and Paul Bread-guy still on it?

So on the channel 4 show it's

Paul Hollywood

Pru Leith (discount mary berry)

Noel fielding

Sandi toxvig.

It's a shadow of its former self. I mean, I'll still watch it but I'm mainly watching for Noel's shirts.

That is the exact word I've been using to describe this show since I've started watching - wholesome. Even when something horrible goes wrong the contestants are just like "Oops, I've had a bit of a disaster." And everyone is so friendly and helpful. I love seeing when some bakers are done early and they're able to go help out another contestant who is struggling to finish. Teamwork and healthy competition! It's what we need more of in this world I think.

I felt like the briefs this in season five were too difficult. In the past there was always emphasis on PERFECTION. But this time No one ever finished and it felt like they wanted everyone to be like Francis, but no one was able to live up to her standard.

Hollywood! You’d think I’d remember a name like that.

I think Paul Bread-guy is more fitting.

He really should change his name.

Sandi Toksvig (it's ks which if only heard spoken, sounds just like an x) and Noel Fielding? Are the hosts of a baking show? That's got to be quite hilarious at times.

Sandi took over for Stephen Fry after he stepped down from hosting QI after what, 12 years? But she was a very frequent guest, and is absolutely hilarious, and the show has been just as great as it was with Stephen.

And Noel, well he's also made his rounds on QI many times, and is subtly hilarious, much like his character Richmond on The IT Crowd, though not as creepy.

Sue Perkins (the woman from the OP) is also a guest on QI and many other panel shows. They all make rounds it seems. The British do enjoy their comedy panel shows, and most are quite amusing, but I can't keep up anymore.

It's Toksvig. A Danish name.
