BBC lose Great British Bake Off

Honestly, you lot sound like the Daily Mail commentators - very little good to say about a hugely popular programme. I enjoy it for what it is - without agonising about the character of the presenters or their false teeth or other. It's just entertainment, for goodness sake. However, and this is my grouse, to take it to another station and we will end up like the paralympics - dire on STV as against the BBC. I watched for twenty minutes the other day and saw no action, just interviews and ads. Let's hope GBBO doesn't go the same way.

I thoroughly enjoy the programme and the Friday night Jo Brand show.
Off to channel 4, well initially it was disappointing but ch 4 is better than ITV1 but we can only wait and see.
It is a lovely programme to watch with my granddaughters, all the people are super, love the interplay between Paul and Mary et al.
In truth we don't like change do we?

It seems that with GBBO people either love it or hate it! I love it but agree that the format could do with a change and I find Mel and Sue very irritating.

As ever, it's all about money, regardless of what the production company has claimed.

Maybe they'll regret their greed when the format gets changed for the worse and the audience will drop because viewers will get fed up with the adverts.

Strictly come jungle and all that fake reality stuff are such a bore.....who cares someone can make a cake...............

What happened to Telly that gave us pause for thought?

I'm a bit fed up with it now anyway, so Channel 4 can have it. I haven't watched it at all this time round. How often can you bear to watch people peering in an oven wondering if whatever it is is done yet? And Mel and Sue, well one of them really gets on my nerves, the grungy looking one with glasses, could do with a good wash. Bye bye and good riddance.

Am I the only person who has never watched GBBO? I didn't enjoy cooking at school (preferred needlework)and I haven't enjoyed 45years of cooking for the family. Its like watching a programme about vacuuming as far as I'm concerned......

Never thought Bake Off (not that I ever watch it) was a BBC type program and now they`ve made enough money off it, they are too mean to spend the Licence payers money to keep it.

It's a pity that some comments have to be so unpleasant about the presenters. If you don't like them then don't watch them.
As for the programme moving to another channel, well at least we can give it chance, can't we?
Some people seem to be proper old grumps.

The main thing that will put me off watching it next year is that the first season will be a celebrity version. Part of the charm of GBBO is that the competitors are everyday people which makes you think - I could do that!

Every picture tells a story. The photograph on the front of the Guardian seems to say it all, no happy smiles there.

It is going to Channel 4. Hopefully they won't change it too much.

I have to admit to not watching GBBO, Strictly or any other similar genre of TV programme; the novelty wore off yonks ago.
I find PH extremely irritating (sorry fans ?).
In fact I rarely watch anything on TV that truly grips me I'm turning into an old grump
?

It's on its way out anyway. There are only so many times you can watch people bake cakes and wonder who will win, especially when it the judges are MB and PH. I like her better than him. The only thing that could bring this back is if one of the contestants tipped a bowl of cake mix over his over styled hair, let it drip down his fake tanned face and carefully kneeded it into his immaculate shirt!

They have to have C list "celebs" in everything from
Master chef to strictly etc. Haven't heard of most people that take part anyway. To be fair I hadn't heard of PH until the GBBO and MB was a cake maker from my school days. I do watch sometimes and tend to miss a few then pick up again . But I don't think I would watch at all if it weren't for Mel and Sue keeping it lighthearted when actually it's boring as hell .

i will still watch the bake off and i like Mary Berry in fact i like Mel and Sue and Paul wont i do like is paying my tv licence

I've come to the conclusion that the challenges on GBBO have become ever more complicated over the years. PH's bread challenge was, I thought completely unrealistic and it was no wonder that the majority of the contestants didn't have time to prove their bread with the result that the dough was uncooked. I've been wondering 'what next?' Is Channel 4 buying into a worn out formula?
Let's hope the Sewing Bee survives.

That's not a new photo, tigger, it's a publicity shot for the current series.

And Mary seems quite happy!

I didn't know that. But Mary is the only one who looks sort of happy.

No more for me either - suits BBC but awful with adverts

never watched bake off and i never watched strictly until after bruce forsyth left. maybe channel 4 will make bake off a better thing to watch - might even be persuaded to watch it too.
don't mind mary berry or paul hollywood - although he's a bit on the pompous side.

Hope it doesn't go to using "celebs" there are too many of them already I don't watch any of them wouldn't like ant and Dec either they get enough exposure! Don't know how fitting ads in will work though

You never know it may be better on ITV?

The BBC are fast becoming too big for their boots, have a bad attitude and are always right. They need taking down a peg or to IMO. I can see them losing more and more of their programmes and they deserve it.

You can always record it and fast forward the ads when you watch later.
I still enjoy the programme apart from the showstopper.
Lets hope Channel 4 doesn't bring sex into it (as they seem to do a lot.)

I agree with Rosieroe, Mary Berry is delightful, I wish I had half her skills!
