...and that attitude is precisely why Love have been lambasted since this whole sorry saga started. While the going was good, they were happy to take licence fee money and the support the BBC gave them. Then when they thought they could, they sold out. They put 'self' and 'profit' ahead of their duty and loyalty to the public. This is unforgivable. This makes Love unsuitable to receive any public money going forward.

Well that's utterly unanswerable question now isn't it? Although given you seem to be able to see the future with what you believe to be great clarity (although, y'know, let's not go back and check or anything...), I assume answering impossible questions is well within your capabilities.

Is there any news on Sewing Bee and Pottery Throw-down? Has the BBC got a prior commitment to make these shows, or is Love Productions begging for BBC air time?

After House Party finished it's final run, he was preparing for meetings with the BBC to pitch new ideas when he was politely informed that "he would not be welcomed at the BBC" |

IIRC Noel Edmonds has never worked for the BBC again after walking out of a show during the run of House Party.

I used to see him round the old BBC Centre at that time he went everywhere with HUGE bodyguards. If he went in the lift there was no room for anyone else cos of all the accompanying muscles.

Just look at BBC Breakfast.
Has 2 or 3 times the ratings of ITV competitor, despite having main presenter poached a couple of years back. It has had presenter poached, moved to Salford, presenters retire. The team presenting now are not the same (apart from Charlie Steyt) as the presenters who did the London based show. Yet ratings have stayed solid. The ITV version has had revamp after revamp, new shows new presenting teams new sets, and all have failed dismally. The Public likes stability. |

Let's all picture LP/C4 going cap-in-hand and on their knees to the Beeb as they beg them not to exercise their year gap clause: https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...ake-off-launch Quote:
However, sources close to Love and Channel 4 suggest that the team still hope to convince the BBC that it should act in the “public rather than self” interest and allow an earlier launch for the main show.
My ironymeter just exploded.Interesting tidbit there hinting Nadiya is more likely to choose the Beeb so perhaps an option to make up an all female foursome for any new show.....? |

Did LP and C4 act in the public interest then ? Talk about hypocrisy. As the last GBBO on the BBC will be in December that means C4 will have to wait until December 2018 by which time the show will be forgotten and the BBC will have a successful successor - you couldn't really make it up could you ?

Pottery Throwdown appears to have been recommissioned. Applications closed in April and filming was due to be take place between June and August. No air date yet. Creme de la Creme was also a Love production. |

Up to May of this year the BBC hadn't decided if they were gong to commission a new series of the Sewing Bee, If they are, the application forms for the next series should be available in the next couple/few weeks.

I didn't enjoy Creme de la Creme at all. I'd prefer that didn't come back even if LP hadn't behaved like idiots.

There's no reason for the BBC to provide content that can be provided by another broadcaster. There's no reason for it to deny C4 the right to broadcast the Bake Off early - no gain to either it or the public. |

The Bake Off will still be on TV, it'll still be FTA. We're now getting Bake Off and, presumably, £15m of new programming from the BBC. Result!

For Love Productions, who have acted entirely in their own self interest, to suggest the BBC shouldn't invoke a 12-month break clause "in the public interest" is breath-taking hypocrisy. Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it... |

If I was the BBC I would definitely invoke the one year break clause - it was in the contract that Love Productions very willingly signed to that when they wanted the BBC to have it. |

I suppose that whether or not we get another Sewing Bee will depend on how much animosity there was after May while they were still considering it between Love Productions and the BBC when they were negotiating for Bake Off, and how much Love Productions tried to screw out of the BBC for it. Obviously the deal for Pottery Throw Down was already settled before that since applications to take part were being taken in April. |
