This is either inspired casting or is going to crash and burn spectacularly.

- Prue Leith is going to have to work at her likeability. In the past she's
been a bit too much like a strict school-teacher, which goes against the
grain of a friendly format.
- Sandi Toksvig will be fine, and has the right kind of chumminess and dry
wit.
- Noel Fielding is a frankly bizarre choice. To say that his brand of
humour is a bit different is to put it mildly. In a crazy way, it might
work, but Bake Off will be a different show.

It's still remarkable to me that Channel 4 bought the format but didn't tie
up the talent in advance.
