Same here. I won't bother watching it from this week. I am sure I will survive.
Production company is being greedy. ITV will never get ratings like BBC.

That's just a way of saying "not our fault" so as not to taint the show for C4, make it look like it wasn't about money when of course it was.
So ads then....
I assume this means they'll cut the baking history part completely and cut some content out of the other rounds in the early episodes to fit the ads in.
Yes, Love Productions, this is exactly what we wanted. Idiots.

I would think it's not the same as Top Gear, where the BBC bought the rights, but rather the intellectual property seems to be owned by Love Productions (who produce the show anyway). So, in effect, Channel 4 is just buying the same show. No change (necessarily), other than commercial breaks.
Expect to see lots of Celebrity versions too...

They may have brought the same show but if they don't get the same judges and presenters it will be a shadow of its former self. I know many love to hate Paul but without him and Mary judging and Mel and Sue's ad libbing the show will sink!!
Still gobsmacked at the stupid press release indicating that Love Productions had no guarantee that the BBC would nurture GBBO. If it wasn't for the BBC the show wouldn't be anywhere as close to successful as it is.
come bake with me, couples come bake with me, Baking coach trip, alan carr's extra bite, 8 out of 10 cats does bake off, eugh
Wish the first series of it was not a celebrity one. I can imagine that they get alot of reality tv stars.

It has been one of the biggest ratings winners for the BBC and has become a cosy institution. It is hard to believe the BBC didn't nurture the brand, it has to be down to commercialising the programme. I dread to think how it will turn out, wetter than one of last weeks undercooked loaves, caricature contestants OTT presenters and endless commercial breaks, it is difficult to change a highly succesful formula.

I could see Paul, Mel and Sue on Channel 4. Not Mary though.

Don't give them ideas. Go and sit on the naughty step,
If Channel 4 think they are going to get the same sized audiences, they are sadly mistaken. Thing is, this may not be such a bad thing, after 7 years it was starting to look abut tired, let's have a new baking show 😊😊
C4. First show 6million, second series average 3million. What a strange decision.
We all know C4 overplay all the successful shows on the channel. I can see a 1.5 hour show, 20 contestants and endless spin off shows. This must be Jay hunts last throw of the dice and the muppet production company have fell for it and starting with a celebrity version is stupid.

After reading this article, I wonder if Mary is happy at the thought of moving to Ch4.

Without the "original cast" a TV show always feels like a poor copy of the original.
Think of any show where there has been major cast defections, and when it comes back for a new series it's basically half the show it was.
I wonder how much CH4 paid?
