New Bake Off line up confirmed

Most viewers have followed Prue's advice and fast forwarded the ads.....
Less than 4m actually watching the ads according to Barb, Overnights viewing figures include those who skip them. GBBO is profitable but no where near what C4 said it would be.

For September not a single episode broke 4m. That's nowhere near what the likes of BGT, I'm a celebrity etc get
Luckily for C4, media journalists clearly have no idea how barb works and what AD buyers actually pay for. There certainly won't be millions off profits for new programming.

But even then It was stated in here ch4 would happily take 3-4million?

Coup for the Celebrity version just recorded for transmission in 2018

Now Sandi has spoken, I can confirm (without the C4 bods smiting me down) that I'm in the charity bakeoff. Recorded during the October recess & raising £10k for #StandUp2Cancer. https://t.co/uRRUJqeVu8

The Great Canadian Baking Show premiered its first series, a couple of weeks ago on CBC. Its filmed on the grounds of a Toronto stately home. Its slightly similar to the UK tent, but with some Canadian touches. Notably their is no carpet. One of the host is British. The just is a Canadian Australian woman and French judge. (They arent very good. Like Pru and Paul) The host are ok. If not slightly annoying. This show is fully series like the orignial and is produced in association with LOVE PRODUCTIONS. So it does looks slightly different. Such as the titles and in show graphics. (Contestant bakes sketches) The music is similar if not lower int he mix, so in places its quite low.


The Great American Baking Show kicks off on ABC across the USA tonight. LOVE productions made some major changes. Unlike GBBO and the Canadian verison this LOVE produced version is only a limited series. Since its produced by LOVE directly, its very similar in production to the UK version. Editing and such. So to me it feels similar to the UK version. Contestants and baking abilities aside. I believe this is actually shot in the UK tent and not in that States or at least it had been. But they cleaned house. Everyone is basically gone, the only returning judge is Johnny Iunuzzi. As with the GBBO, Mary Berry left the show as I expected, wanting nothing to do with LOVE productions and she left the American show as well. So the US version will have Paul Hollywood and Johnny judging. They also have 2 new hosts. A former American Football player and some other lady both virtually unknown and from the videos Ive seen, they arent particularly funny or interesting. So the show continues to struggle on the presenter front IMO.


And before anyone comments, they arent allowed to use the title BAKE OFF in North America because its owned by Pillsbury bakery since 1949 and its still in use

ABC has pulled the American version after one episode and won't be showing the rest because judge Johnny has been accused of sexual misconduct.

It's taken a while, previous series were available as aired, but C4's GBBO series is now available to purchase

That site is very bare bones. Did they nuke most of it after they decided to axe the show?

Esssh, this version of Bake Off seems to be cursed.

Do feel sorry for all the others who worked on the show for it to be pulled due to allegations against one person.

That goes for any show that suffers this fate.
