As long as it isn't Bake Off, as long as it doesn't emulate Bake Off, then the BBC can make and show what they like, when they like. They always show a baking competition in August, so if that's what they choose to show next August, what's to stop them?
Love Productions don't own the baking competition monopoly. |

If Jay Hunt is reading the papers' websites this morning it must be like reading her own obit:

1 Sky Sports 1 - 07:30 PM Live: EFL Cup 786 3.7%
Oh how I laughed seeing the likes of Rooney starting and Ibrahimovic coming on early in the 2nd half. Mourinho must be really bricking it to field a side as strong as that against a mid-table League 1 team.

In case anyone doubted my sources... Mary Berry has quit and Paul was seen going to the Channel 4 offices in person today! Just a shame it's ended the way it has, but I expect the BBC's happy with the result.
You're no worse than Dan Wootton who just second guesses and then claims he knew from sources. You are no more in the know than Jay Hunt is.

Talking of the EFL cup, the draw couldn't have worked out much better could it?
Highlights... United / City L'pool / Spurs W Ham / Chels Three ties to make the mouth water there and lots of ratings potential. |

Love Productions don't own the baking competition monopoly. Still, for each aspect of their new show that resembles GBBO, they could be sued. Three rounds a week? Contestants being nice to each other? Panoramic views of green gardens? A tent? Union Jack bunting? Background music in the same key? Little documentaries about the history of baking? Using words like 'soggy' and 'informal'? Everyone would know looking at the new show that the BBC had to make a different programme, but wanted it to be not too different. So, each and every aspect of that new programme could lead to a lawsuit for copyright infringement. As I say, fascinating.

Comment in The Guardian nails it: Quote:
Channel 4 has damaged itself as a publicly owned broadcaster, the production company look foolish and short termist, Mel ,Sue and Mary can pretty much do what they like at the BBC. BBC have come out of it looking prudent and have played a weak hand very well-and they usually play a strong hand weakly!

Beeb just read out Hollywood's statement and he thanked the BBC and M&S but unless they clipped it, not Mary. Can't find a link to the full statement to check though....

To be fair, other than Paul and Love Productions, nobody is more in the know than anyone else. Having said that, I do know some things I can't reveal due to them being very specifically associated with my position, so they could easily be traced back to me. Dan Wootton doesn't even have sources, nobody will talk to him!

Of course Paul is his own man, and he can make his own decisions regarding his career, but it doesn't look too good for him going to C4, especially following Mary's lovely statement about loyalty.
I also think that of the 3 components (Mary, Paul and 'Mel & Sue'), Paul is probably the least vital component. He is the harshness to the warmth that the others provide. It is that warmth that makes it so unique, and what I believe to be irreplaceable. |

Hollywood will provide some continuity, but is it going to be enough? Last night's ratings are a like a tolling bell to C4 right now - 10.23million! - the mess they've made. Any chance Jay Hunt will be fired before the end of the week? |
