Not sure if that's an example that it can or can't be done, because Simon Fuller (Pop Idol) did sue Simon Cowell over the creation of X Factor. It was settled out of court.

The BBC should keep Mel & Sue and create a new more light hearted Masterchef show - Masterchef: Masterbake.
Clarkson, May and Hammond are basically going to present the same show as they did Top Gear with a few suttle changes. It will be a success because of who is presenting it. Is the BBC going to sue Amazon if it is almost identical? No. |

Wouldnt be surprised if Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer take over as hosts, they work well on Sunday Brunch together and work as a team

IThe perfect example is Top Gear, lose the main presenters and you lose what the show was all about.
"Clarkson is history. The Top Gear format is solid! Doesn't matter who presents it!" came those gleeful cries. Funny how that tune is changed when they lose the program they like. |

You are aware Geidroyc only took the gig in the first place solely for the money, because her career was stagnating and she was virtually bankrupt.

I can see Mary stepping down. Her working career has been with the BBC. I don't think she is the type to follow the money. She will stay out of loyalty.
So Channel 4 have paid £25 million for a programme name. It is expected they will have wanted to change the format anyway. Is there anythinh to stop the BBC having a new baking programme and use the same people with just the format and name changed? |

The best analogy I can come up with is some people look at the BBC the way football fans do their favourite club. When a presenter, or in the case an entire TV programme, leaves for another network, they are instantly cast as ingrates/traitors, and ill will is wished upon them.

She's in her 80's She could do a little baking show like the master classes to keep her occupied and spend her time in the garden. She doesn't need a job. Hollywood without the rest doesn't have the same draw.

Formats are just variations of a theme. Is Britains Got Talent any different to X-Factor when someone is singing? Is Dancing with the Stars any different to Strictly? How many Crime Dramas vary from one another? I'd love for anyone including the BBC to vary the format ever so slightly and be challenged in court. Masterbake would be perfect, instead of a tent, hold it in a proper kitchen, it is the presenters and contestants that make the show not the surroundings.

Is the BBC going to sue Amazon if it is almost identical? No. But I agree, they should just put them on a variation of Masterchef or something, see how it goes. Its like the exact opposite of what happened to Top Gear |

Channel 4 likely would, as they have secured the rights to that format.

There is nothing immoral about selling your product to the highest bidder. She will have her own reasons for not going to Channel 4, maybe even something as simple as sentiment in that she felt it was more suited to the BBC, but don't try and dress it up as them both doing something "noble" or "honourable"

So the BBC can not even keep the Great British bake off, not all the fault of the BBC, Love Productions are being greedy, that is the problem when something becomes popular, more money is asked for and then it changes channels or changes presenters and dies.
Is there really anything worth bothering with now on the BBC? The Great British bake off was one of the better things on the BBC, even I acknowledge that, not that I was that fond of Sue Perkins to be honest. BBC needs to sort it self out, other wise there will be more people dumping the licence. |

Nothing original about a baking competition. I am sure someone could devise one that did not infringe any rights held by Love. Could it be done under the Masterchef 'brand'?

No, but it is immoral to not consult or inform your staff of any key decisions until they've been done

Though apparently the BBC have got a clause which stops any other broadcaster airing for the show for a year which they've chose not to utilise so if they did could that change where they stand doing that legally?

Do you mean a presenter whose career was 'stalling' took a presenting job that happened to pan out well.
That initial action isnt 'money grabbing' it is work to pay the bills. |
