.... because 'Bake Off' are taking their Soggy Bottoms to Channel 4!! :'( :'( :'( :'( What are we going to doooo?! ::) :D ;D FFS! :-X
On a serious note I think the BBC should be congratulated for not spending ridiculous amounts of public money on one programme. :y
If reports are to be believed. The BBC offered £15 million for the next series, but the production company wanted £25 million and Channel 4 snapped it up! :o It probably makes business sense for Channel 4 in terms of what they will charge for advertising, but it seems a rare moment of common sense prevailed at the Beeb! :o ;D

Not bothered whether this, BBC or another channel.... Miss DBG and Mum & Sister watch it avidly, of course. But this is an example of where a production company making a programme vs a channel making a programme causes issue. Same as when the Beeb binned (well, sold off) all their props - there is no such thing as 'the BBC Costume Department' contrary to popular belief. It's all outsourced (isn't everything in life) but it makes me cringe, the amount of middlemen all taking their little cut along the chain. Let's say it costs £1.5m to make 'The Great British Masterbakeoff' that wouldn't change from series 1 to series 5 (excluding inflation, presenters demanding higher wages blah blah) But here, because it's deemed a 'saleable' product from an outside production company they can essentially name their price to the highest bidder. Very Capitalist, and that's great, but scarcely giving value for money to the viewer.

If you're a girl, or gay enough to like such a program, does it matter what channel its on? Its still on a terrestrial free to air channel, so anyone can watch it.
I think the beeb need to slash budgets given to some of their other trashy programmes, like the One Show or Knobenders.
-
I can honestly say the wife & I have never watched it , so is of no interest who provides it for viewing , on the rare occasions we have cakes etc she makes them like her mum used to , don't need to watch any more ordinary people trying to become famous .😁😁

Nothing wrong with Knobenders, apart from the fact they all speak English, which obviously isn't the case in the real East End. :-X

It's 'trash TV' this time about cooking.
Some girlies may enjoy it.

Why does everyone on Eastbenders have so much trouble with the 'th' sound?
It's things not 'fings'

If the reports are correct, I totally agree.
I know some here will call me Gay and whatever, but I love cooking AND eating AND drinking wine. Masterchef is interesting, Great Britsh Menu is but quite frankly GBBO or whatever its called is boring as Efff. Just mindless cashing in on the current TV fad for food. Good riddance. This has nothing to do with the fact that SWMBO fancies the pants off Hollywood ::) I certainly do NOT fancy the pants off Mary Berry ???
So, where's my apron . . . . . ?

Available from the same shop that sells special shower attachments and thick condoms.... :P

Just imagine her without her teeth in. :-\ ::) ;)

They've had a few easy-on-the-eye contestants over the years, though..

Listening to radio 2 this morning & Chris Evans made me smile , he said " If Hollywood & Berry also resist the move to channel 4 all they may have got for 25 million is a very expensive marquee " 😀😁😂

Just for my own piece of mind, as Mrs TB does watch a load of crap which all looks the same old tosh to me, is this the one in the tent on a stately home estate, with the bloke who thinks he's gods gift? I think they have to cook what the old dear suggests.
Or have I got it arse about face with Mastercook or whatever its called?

I dunno. All cooking programmes are the same. The TV in our house shows one of two things: Cooking programmes and "fast and loud". Depends who gets to the remote control first. ;D

No that's the one :D :D
A grey haired bloke who is the Simon Cowell character and the Tutankhamen/Miss Marple one with two irritating lesbians 'presenting' that both look like they need the toilet desperately.
But - and this appears to be a gender thing - women love it, absolutely lap it up. Christ knows why.
Every week it's the same plot, it's worse than Last of the Summer Wine. "Oooh, this is just overbaked" "I've never cooked a --- before, eh, I'll just wing it" "oh, nooo, I forgot to put the oven on!" "ohh no, I just dropped it on the floor" ??? seriously how many ways are there to make a ruddy Victoria Sponge? I'll tell you - ONE!! Bloody ONE!!! And it's boring! ;D ;D
-
You do have to wonder, don't you?
I'm not the most accomplished cook but I've had over 30 years of occasional cooking and generally looking after myself, less so since mrs. KW has been on the scene, admittedly. I'm sure I've forgotten to turn the oven on once or twice, and maybe I've dropped it all on the floor, although I can't recall having done so.
How do they find a group who aspire to be master chefs yet manage to do this sort of cock up every sodding week?
Oh, wait. It'll be the "pressure" associated with being on a reality TV programme.. Silly me.(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26795734/Smilies/doh.gif)

And it's off to Channel 4!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o
This is a national disaster which puts BREXIT into the deep shadows!! ::) If they invoke Article 50 today none of the assorted socialists, liberals and lefties will notice! ;D
They've even started a petition which if it gets over 100,000 signatures, there will have to be a debate in the House of Commons! ::) ;D

C'mon, at least include a link.. this is serious stuff you know! :P
-
This sort of programme is the real reason for the BBCs existence. It is to ensure that the people who can't be trusted to go out on their own stay indoors of their own volition. It actually makes the BBC's funding a national bargain.
And you don't have to watch this sort of thing.

Here you go Aaron, there's a choice of 2 petitions for you to sign as the official parliament site has rejected the request for a petition, which means there will not be a debate in the House of Commons. :( Maybe Jeremy Corbyn will bring it up at PMQ's! :y

I was listening to Jeremy Whine talking about this yesterday. A bloke called in to say that he couldn't believe the news about Bake off, and had to pull over and stop his car at the side of the road because he was in tears !! GET A FICKIN LIFE YOU SAD BASTID.

No comment at all on any of this.

He's one of them! Don't worry, he won't be able to cope with actual reality for long, and will be back in front of the telly very soon.
Jeremy Whine is just another part of the same thinking. It's to make the ineffective, wishy-washy, PC, sandal wearing, lentil eating, self-righteous morons think they're achieving something by synchronising the quivering of their top lips.

I know, it's all a bit too high brow for me as well. ::)

It might be better if Nigella took over from the toothless crone.
She could then demonstrate how to drip warm chocolate between her breasts until it reaches her clit.
I might switch on for that.

I went off Nigella a while ago. Once a woman's septum has rotted off she loses a certain something... :D

I don't think that Nigella is a 'paper bag job' just yet. Mary Berry has been a 'paper bag job' for the last forty years.
-
It seems a bit of a 'school boy error' for Channel 4 to buy the rights to Bake Off without ensuring that the presenters and judges came as part of the package? ???
Although I'd be more likely to watch if Nigella was judging alongside Lorraine Pascale! :y

Now aint that the truth. Another one that needs to be lined up in the mass cull. Along with anyone listening to Radio 2 at lunchtime.

I was waiting fpr Steve Wright in the afternoon to start, hoping that I could listen to the wisdom of Barry from Watford. :P ;D

Corrected that for you ;)

Now Mary Berry has announced that she will not be moving to Channel 4 with 'Bake Off' :o :( It's headline news at the Beeb who are reporting it like a senior member of the Royal Family has died.... ;D
It's a bit of a distraction from the 'Brangelina' story to be honest though. ::) :D ;D
-
Damm, I was hoping the old trout would jump off the gravy train

Hollywood needs the cash !
She doesn't

He needs more than cash :)

3 of the main stars are leaving so it will probably end up like Top gear losing watchers after the first program on 4 an advert chanel so how much of the program will be cut for adverts
-
C4 only need to crack just 20% of the BBCs viewing figures and they will be happy. Sky is very happy with the deal :)

Breaking News!!!! The tent has just announced it's staying with the BBC! ;D

So, where's my apron . . . . . ?
Available from the same shop that sells special shower attachments and thick condoms.... :P
Man apron is made from leather and used when welding, but I think STEMO might have other uses. ::) ::) ::)
