Mel and Sue rose to prominence as the hosts of BBC’s ‘The Great British Bake Off’. However, when the show moved to Channel 4, they also left and pursued different career options.
This type of project was clearly something they wanted to do, with them starting in and contributing behind the scenes to this comedy series.
While the show has its moments, mostly thanks to some stand out guest stars, the show itself is a mostly predictable and uninspired misfire, with our leads struggling to shake their persona’s and disappear into the characters.
Some of the guest stars do make an impact, with Nick Mohamed, Jason Watkins, and in particular Sian Clifford, providing some strong moments.
I would be surprised if this show returns for a second season.
Rating = 2.5/5
