Mel Giedroyc to host new C4 craft series

Mel Giedroyc is returning to Channel 4 with a new challenge show putting Britain's most talented woodworkers to the test.

In the six-part series Good With Wood, craft experts will be challenged to craft 'beautiful and ambitious' structures and objects.

Former Bake-Off  host Giedroyc said: 'In the words of Ian Faith, the manager of Spinal Tap, "in the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful". 

'I would add to that by saying that in the topsy-turvy world of 2020 in general, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is pretty much essential.  Good With Wood is going to be something we can all lean on.'

Karen Plumb from programme-makers Plimsoll Productions, said: 'In a throwaway world, more and more people are turning to woodwork to connect them to nature and their creativity. We’re delighted to be making this escapist and ambitious competition for Channel 4.'
