Great British Bake Off

"Looking forward to Mary Berry's new programme."
What's Mary Berry's new programme? I'm obviously out of touch.

I think the trailer is very good but I won't be watching the programme. I loved Bake Off, the chemistry between the four of them was just right. Like others I prefer the three presenters who will not be on the new one. Paul Hollywood was rather smug I think. Not keen on Noel Fielding either, not doing very well here, I've never been too good with change. Looking forward to Mary Berry's new programme.

Is that an eclair vomiting, or a vol-au-vent ...?

The ad's soundtrack will soon become annoying.

Doesn't do it for me.

ps are the cakes and the bread the ones baked by previous contestants on BBC? The lion bread looked familiar.

Shall not watch it on principle.....it was quaint and warm and friendly on the BBC....a delight to immerse yourself in.....the baking was almost secondary! Selling out for bigger money is the root of so much of what is wrong with the world.

Very clever! But I didn't like the vomiting eclair.

Now, have I had enough of watching programmes about delicious cakes that I will never bake and should not eat?
When does it start?

I too am looking forward to the new BBC programme with Mary. I have read that the judges and presenters of the new Channel 4 Bake-Off have not been getting along with each other and don't even speak when off camera. I expect I shall give it a try, but not particularly looking forward to it.
I have been recording and watching the original first series on Really channel daily at 7pm. The bakes are far easier than those on the later shows.

I agree with Nelliemaggs - it is clever but I don't wish to see it again. I will not be watching the programme because the people who 'made' it for me - Mary, Sue and Mel aren't on it. I plan to watch Mary's new programme!

I liked it. I've been baking this afternoon for Captain's Day on Saturday and my two traybakes look quite lovely if I say so myself both Mary Berry recipes - Treacle Ginger and a Lemon Drizzle.[cake]

"The people are what made the programme - yes I agree. The presenters as well as the contestants.
I'll probably watch it though.

I think it's both clever and offputting. I don't want to watch it twice. The people are what made the programme so delightful though and I wonder if they can produce that magic with their new line-up.
