00:00 Do you prefer Strictly Come Dancing or do you prefer the Great British Bake Off?
00:05 Oh, that's hard because I like them both. I'm going to say Bake Off.
00:12 Probably not very popular about that.
00:14 Why are you saying Bake Off?
00:15 I think I've watched Strictly over the years since it started really and I think some of the celebrities are somewhat not as good as they used to be.
00:26 Yeah, so I think Bake Off, yeah.
00:29 Strictly.
00:30 Strictly, why? What is it about Strictly?
00:33 Just maybe it's an age generational thing that I can relate to, to be honest. So it's more generational to be quite frank.
00:40 I suppose Strictly, yeah.
00:42 Why?
00:43 I don't know because it's different in a way and I'm a musician and I enjoy, I know guys who actually work in the orchestra and it's all great just to see and hear what they've got to play and all that.
00:57 So it's a bit of a, I'm just focused on that for those reasons really, you know.
01:02 Probably the Bake Off.
01:03 Yeah, probably the Bake Off.
01:04 Okay, you were telling me but why?
01:07 I don't know, it's just nicer. I like it. I used to watch it with my mum all the time. So, yeah.
01:13 Both.
01:14 I felt, yeah, the dancing's a bit boring.
01:17 I prefer the looking at the cooking, yeah.
01:20 I don't really watch either of them but Bake Off is if anything to say, yeah.
01:24 Why would you say Bake Off?
01:26 I've just watched it and enjoyed it. I think it's a bit more genuine than the Strictly one. I mean I'm not really into the dancing side of it and when I have seen it, the sort of judge side of it has annoyed me a bit.
01:37 And it's interesting to see how many Z-Listers are on there compared to, you know, compared to Bake Off where you've got people you've never heard of playing the games. It's Strictly really. Five of the people I know you've never heard of.
01:54 Strictly.
01:56 Why's that?
01:57 I don't know. Kind of funnier, I think. Yeah.
02:04 That's really difficult. I love them both but if you forced me for an answer I'd have to say Strictly.
02:10 Why wouldn't that be?
02:11 Because I want to be one of them. I want to do it. I think they're fabulous. I think dancing's fabulous.
02:17 Strictly is more entertainment, isn't it? But Bake Off is good but I don't, yeah.
02:23 Why is Strictly better?
02:25 I wouldn't say it's better. It's different, isn't it? It's different. It's just interesting. You get involved with the characters as well as you do with Bake Off as well.
02:33 People who watch Bake Off never bake anything, right? And I'm food restricted anyway so they're thought of seeing something lovely and gooey. I think, no, that's not what I'm investing in.
02:46 And then Strictly, yes. Or Diamante's Pearls. Gotta see it. Too, too many, too, too many stilettos. Love it, love it, love it.
02:56 Oh, and the Bake Off.
02:58 Why's that?
03:00 I like bacon.
03:02 (laughing)
