I have now got my service working but have missed the first two challenges. Who won them please?
Deleted spoiler!
Brogan’s made a play suit, not a jumpsuit.

I love Annie’s jumpsuit though I’m not convinced of the fit on the bust.

I'm going to delete my post now, in case anyone is watching on catch-up.

I don’t think you could dance in it.

Oh, that’s a great result. I’m so pleased for her.

That’s really shocked me. I really was happy for any of them to win it though. They all deserved it for different reasons.

It was bagging up a bit around the crotch as her model walked too - but as a design I thought it was streets ahead of the others. They were such a talented group. And awww for Annie’s baby
(good looking parents, that one!).

It bothered me a bit that the bodice seams didn't match up with the trouser darts. Otherwise, it was fabulously dramatic.

Brogan could only only make frilly girly things.
Annie’s jumpsuit was fab but I would like to know if the model could lift her arms up safely in it. I think Debra’s looked like the best fit but I didn’t like the material. If she’d chosen a black satin or crepe she would’ve smashed that.

I did love Annie's jumpsuit in theory but in practice it was barely clinging to her model's nipples. I think I liked Debra's best. But any of them could have won aside from Brogan who just wasn't quite the standard of the others although I did like her jumpsuit, it was fun.

I loved that Annie won it as she’s long since been my quiet favourite, but I do think Man Yee was a bit robbed. Second in the pattern challenge, won the transformation, and her jumpsuit looked amazing, was impeccably made in two different and really tricky fabrics, and was a terrific fit too.

We said exactly the same - if Debra had made her jumpsuit in a more luxurious fabric she would have smashed that. She was my slight favourite to win all along, but when she mentioned the peri menopause she was definitely my winner.
They were all fab though, and I didn’t mind who won, but I agree that Annie’s jumpsuit didn’t actually fit properly around the bust, it should have been higher. She was so creative with a lot of her designs though.
So sad it’s over, can we get Wendy on it next year please?

Raging! I binged the last three episodes last night as I had series linked them (don't have access to BBC iplayer in Ireland). Except the final was changed to BBC2

Infuriating, isn't it?! The BBC got so many complaints. I'm in the same boat re BBC access in Ireland. I recorded all the episodes in case I missed one. In the end, I was lucky that I was in and able to see the final when it aired, otherwise it would have been gone forever.

I don't know whether one can download from iPlayer? Probably not, but I might look for a solution when in the UK at the end of the month.
