The granny's favourite " the Great British Bakeoff" will no longer be broadcast by the BBC soon. 

It is alleged to be going to Channel 4. But possibly without the usual presenters. Berry, Hollywood.Perkins and Giedroyc.  

You might ask -- Who Cares ?, but as it is a programme liked by my wife - I do.

Although the programme is not my scene, I can see it's attraction for females.

Once again the BBC would appear to be discriminating against programmes for women. .

What do our female posters think ?.

It looks like the concept has been bought but not the people who help to make it fun etc. Not surprising really.

Alleged today that the Hollywood guy was spotted entering the back door of Channel 4 premisis from a blacked out van. 

Looks like he is considering joining the Channel 4 version of the baking show and leaving his fellow presenters at the Beeb.

Not surprised in the least.

Hollywood is a bit of a one trick pony isn't he? Without Bake Off what's he got to fall back on? Whereas Mary Berry is an established cookery "expert" and, love 'em or loathe 'em Mel & Sue can fall back on what they consider to be "humour"! Happy

Nothing wrong with discrimination, Bakeoff is rubbish.

All programmes should be manly and geared towards us men Laughing

If  its  food  for  us  MEN  they  are  baking  then  I  see  no  problems  !

I've just read a report that says BBC are to launch an "alternative" Bake Off programme, with Mary, Mel & Sue and posiibly James Martin hosting?

Hmm, I expect it might involve S*mon C*well and involve singing, acrobatics and baking combined....Happy

Just saw the latest news about the proposed BBC Bake Off Alternative. All the usual people except that Hollywood character who, according to a regular viewer, will not be missed in the least. 

James Martin is being considered and would make a much better host.

Just noticed James Martin mentioned on a post earlier in the thread. Wink
