I can take Brexit but....

I only heard of this show because of the media hype surrounding some Bangladeshi lady winning it.
How convenient.
Got a documentary made and everything.

That sounds rather racist - she was born in UK

I've never watched the programme, but anything presented by a bloke who races Astons sponsored by an ice cream manufacturer can't be too bad can it?

I just don't get this cake obsession. The calamitous defection of Bake Off was bigged up on the BBC news this evening. An endless parade of yukky sweet and sugary things. It made me feel quite queasy. Fortunately, a toaster, Cornish butter, a slice of bread, and a pot of Marmite were at hand. I managed to survive.

I love GBBO.
Fine bit of whimsy and fun and it doesn't take itself too seriously.
I shan't watch it without Mel & Sue, it wouldn't be the same.

You would *love* bread week though.

It's the tent that was the genius move. Holding it in a mahoosive tent just takes me back to those endless country shows I used to get taken to as a kid. Rows and rows of vanilla sponges......

They should be selling knitted animals and have a tea urn in the corner.

No, that's a different website you've been looking at

Hollywood is reportedly quite a motor-maniac. We need fewer people like him in the country, let alone on the BBC

Coincidentally, BSkyB have a 70% stake in the production company, apparently.

You would hope they've bought a bit of a turkey then...

or is the Great British Roast Off a spin off series

That's a crackling idea.

I have to admit that to keep the wife happy i watch this program, i am also very happy that due to adverts on CH4 going forward i will no longer be watching, as the wife has already dropped it from the tv schedule!!!!!!! so my huge thanks to CH4 for paying top £ and buying it.
