Great British Bake Off (will likely include spoilers)

So Channel 4 have spent £75m on...

a tent.

Psycho Ned · 13 Sep 2016 at 19:04

So Mel and Sue are leaving, if Paul and Mary leave all channel 4 have bought is a name and baking show in a tent?!

Without those 4 there is no show!

MookJong · 13 Sep 2016 at 20:42

As much as I love the show, now Mel and sue are gone, hope Mary and Paul walk too. It would serve C4 right.

Can only hope that Paul and Mary go as well.

Can't even imagine how bad it's going to be on Channel 4.

If you go and work for the commercial dark side can you easily get employment back with the BBC or are you black-listed. Paul/Mary/Sue have all had other BBC shows and I guess would not want to queer that pitch.

Really? You expect them to give up their biggest pay packet?

I doubt Mary Berry does the show mainly for the money, I wouldn't be surprised if she jacked it in

It's channel 4, so they should get Gordon Ramsey to present it.

Efour · 14 Sep 2016 at 05:18

that's the end of that then.... The proxy ch4 style would have been naff anyway.

In before we get My Big Fat Gypsy Bake Off Behind Bars

She's 81 and her net worth is £15m. I think she could live without it if she didn't like the look of it.

Correct decision tonight.

MookJong · 15 Sep 2016 at 08:21

I'm no cake or bread baker, but the fact so many struggled to make a Yorkshire pudding made me feel good about myself. My mother in law cannot make them either, I think it was probably why my wife married me.

Azza · 22 Sep 2016 at 11:00

Mary Berry is gone.

It is a nice tent I guess.

this_is_gav · 22 Sep 2016 at 11:30

As I suspected Paul Hollywood stays though. Motorsport isn't cheap.

MooMoo444 · 22 Sep 2016 at 11:46

With almost the whole team going, it really is an expensive tent.

Getting Ramsay doing it would be fantastic but I think he has better things to do.

Vonhelmet · 22 Sep 2016 at 12:36

My colleague is banking on Delia and... wait for it... Adam and Joe.

Sunbed · 22 Sep 2016 at 15:57

Does anyone else think that Val looks like Moley from Wind in the Willows?

Not surprised that everyone but Paul left.

It will be ruined.

The Beeb should setup The Great English Bake Off. They can upset C4 and Nicola Sturgeon in one go!
