Did anybody else watch this series? To be honest I usually turn off any celeb based program but I stuck with this because I liked most of the students (had never heard of Goldie before though)
I was really pleased Sue Perkins won as I thought she was easily the best.
It will be interesting to see how she does at the proms on saturday, that's assuming the black hole experiment does not go wrong and we all shuffle off tomorrow.

I caught it tonight and wish I'd been able to catch the rest. It was really good, and Sue was a deserved winner.

This should have been right up my street but I'm afraid it bored me stiff and I didn't persevere with it to the end.

Congratulations to Sue Perkins nonetheless.

I have watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it, warts (and Bradley Walsh) and all.

We've had quite a good discussion over on EA - http://enoughalready.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1526

Bearing in mind his background and the fact that he can't read music I thought that Goldie did was brilliant and was a little disappointed that he didn't perform as consistently well as Sue. The series' standout performances came from him, but he also had a couple of car-crashes at the wrong moment.

Whoever gets Katie Derham's mentor next series (if there is one) will feel as if they've been drawn the short straw.

I think Bradley Walsh was the only one I could not take to, I don't know what it was I just didn't like him much.
I felt a bit sorry for Peter Snow, I think he would have improved if he had not gone first, it was a shame.

I thought Goldie done really well and he deserved to be in the final but Sue was stronger overall.
