Mary Berry "won't be signing anything" and "is very happy with the BBC" according to her husband this morning.
Jamie Oliver has already expressed interest in participating as a judge. Oliver is a bit too Marmite. But he's a world class chef and a big name. The female judge would play off him. |

They've bought the brand of 'The Great British Bake Off' and seemingly thought all four would move with the show. It's said that C4 knew at the time of deal that the presenters had not signed for it but I do believe that C4 would have thought 'there's no way Paul, Mary, Sue and Mel would quit the UK's most watched show' - well two down two to go.

Depends. We could all be sitting here in 2 years with the new look GBBO getting 5 - 6 million viewers an episode which would be amazing for C4.

I don't quite understand what C4 have actually bought - a tent in a field, some cooking facilities, napkins, a title, that's about it. Surely you can't copyright the act of baking ? Extraordinary that they didn't talk to the presenters before doing the deal.
The problem for Top Gear was the cash cow nature of the UK version. |

So according to Love Production, any skill based competition is copyrighted by them as they were the first and only people to ever think of such a format?!!
Unbelievable aragunt! |

I think CH 4 wanted to sign without thinking of the consequences as the speed the deal was done on Monday was breathtaking - they then thought they could negotiate with the talent but as has been seen if 4 hadnt rushed in then the talent may have come aboard

True. Also some shows are a lot easier to host than others. Top Gear was not about the cars. Hosts certainly can add value as Ant and Dec show with Celebrity.
I've only seen one episode of GBBO so I'm far from an expert. Certainly Alan Carr can do the Carry On Are You Being Served innuendo very well. |

Love Productions haven't endeared themselves to some people in the TV industry over their actions from what I've been told.
I think the BBC might go the route of producing big formats in-house as well, potentially depriving the indie sector of some lucrative work. |

This Morning @thismorning 46m46 minutes ago
Who will be the new presenters of the GBBO? Official announcement on 'This Morning' at 10:30am. But Ch 4 and Love Productions say the tweet is wrong |

Yeah it was a load of rubbish. More pathetic This Morning "banter".
Doubt Ch 4 would have found a replacement within 24 hours when they have almost a year so can take their time and get it right Radio Times @RadioTimes 2m2 minutes ago Stand down. @thismorning is NOT about to announce who is replacing Mel and Sue. |

It was just a rundown of the odds with them at 100-1 followed by the "official announcement" they're not doing it. The equivalent of clickbait.

Yes there's been a lot of furious calls round today, as I understand it. Our company has already had to redo a contract for something we're making because the channel want to make sure they have the first refusal rights.

Alan Carr can be Marmite too. All of his recent vehicles have flopped and his chat show isn't as big as it was. But you never know.
I assume people want the new show to be good and a success. If you like it, surely you want to keep enjoying it? This would be the same if Gogglebox moved to BBC1 (for instance). |

Channel 4 (exc. +1)
The Last Leg: Live from Rio: 1.81m (9.6%) Paralympics 2016 (9pm-1am): 1.36m (12.0%) Paralympics Highlights (7.30pm): 1.17m (6.5%) Channel 4's #Paralympics coverage peaked with 2.4m viewers as Ellie Simmonds won Bronze in the pool. Avg audience of 1.4m, +93% on slot Channel 4 Press@C4Press The Paralympics are doing great business for Channel 4 and The Last Leg in particular. Great way for new people to sample the show. |

And what an absolute cheek running the Phil and Holly titles when Ruth and Eamonn, part of the regular presenting line-up, are on. If I were either Ruth or Eamonn, I would be mightily pissed about that. |
