It's still a baking show, so unless they're suddenly using molecular gastronomy or insisting that the meringue be made with aquafaba, I'm rolling my eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if it that happens. I won't be tuning in to see it. This show was an oasis in the middle of the storm of life for me. The sweet tone and surprisingly diverse bakers drew me to it, along with the Mary, Sue and Mel. My interest level is zero with only Hollywood and three strangers ( to me anyway, and who seem a bit long in the tooth for the "modern" vibe, speaking as one who's long in the tooth).

Mabinogia July 31, 2017 Share July 31, 2017 Without the "talent" this show is a bunch of strangers walk into a tent and bake stuff. What made this show so infinitely popular was the warmth and the heart and while yes, some of that has to do with the bakers, a lot of it had to do with Mel and Sue's corny brand of humor, Mary's grandmotherly warmth and Paul the stern uncle. The way those four played off each other was magic. If they try to imitate it with the new hosts, it will not be the same. If they try to change it to fit the new hosts, it will not be the same. To say that the three people he has worked with so closely these past few years don't matter is really, really shitty. The funny thing is, for me at least, the only "talent" I would have considered replicable was Paul Hollywood. He always struck me as your run of the mill judge while Mary is a national treasure, and Mel and Sue are just delightfully corny. That corniness and Mary's warmth are what made this show different from all the others.

He's been around a long time on both Channel 4 and the BBC - long enough for Brit audiences to get used to his particular perspective. Fielding's surrealist humor definitely isn't for everyone but with him it's too hard to gauge in print whether he's kidding or not. I imagine writers have a difficult time deciphering his words, let alone framing his comments in their proper context.

This show isn't edgy. It's warm and fuzzy. What I like most about it is that it is warm and fuzzy. It's like slipping on your favorite sweater after a hard day. It makes you feel like the world is a good place and not all people are cold and cynical. It's like a visit to another time and place. Noel Fielding does not give me that warm fuzzy feeling. I saw Mel and Sue as protective Aunts to the contestants. Paul was the stern but loving Dad and Mary was everyone's sweet grandma. Noel is a bit more Addams Family than the Waltons.

Athena August 22, 2017 Author Share August 22, 2017 BBC has an article about the premiere and has a couple of spoilers. There are a few of inane quotes from the new presenters and Prue which makes me wonder if BBC is subtly trying to make us hate this. Ha. I am really familiar with Prue, Noel, and Sandi from other UK shows. I think Noel may work on this because even though he is weird and surreal, he does seem quite friendly. Sandi is clever, but she bores me as a presenter. I can't watch QI anymore. As for Prue, I've watched her for years on Great British Menu; she's a fair judge. She doesn't come off well in these PR rounds. She's filling big shoes and her comments are a bit flat. The following got me to raise an eyebrow: Quote A woman being gay is obviously not a thing in 2017, and we've had LGBT contestants before, but it's telling that Channel 4 gave this line such a prominent placing at the beginning of the episode. How is it telling? I thought the show did a good job of being LGBT friendly. Kinda seems like BBC tried to either downplay their own LGBT friendliness or elevated C4's. Other than that, the new reviews have left me feeling cautiously optimistic that it won't be a train wreck. It may be boring though.

Rationalplan August 23, 2017 Share August 23, 2017 Several Positive reviews on the first episode of Great British Bake Off in Telegraph and the Guardian, so maybe the actual genius of the show is the format and maybe the Production team actually have a lot to do with it's success. I always loved Mel and Sue and their creaky end of the Pier Schtick, but there are plenty of people who don't. Also to paint the people who felt loyal to the BBC as some sort of saints rather people making shrewd long term career choices is laughable. Channel 4 is tiny in comparison to the BBC it does not have it's multiple media platforms and the 360 deals it can offer talent is massivr compared the commercial channels. Mel and Sue will be long rewarded for the public display fealty to the Beeb and already mulitple presenting gigs have fallen their way. Besides the BBC has Radio 2 and 4 to offer lucrative shows to and particular the panel and comedys on radio 4 act as steady flow of appearance fees for 'resting' comedians and actors. The reviews for the https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/aug/16/the-big-family-cooking-showdown-the-bbc-disastrous-attempt-to-recreate-great-british-bake-off on the BBC are not good, in fact awful. Anyway I look forward to GBBO on Ch 4 I love Sandi and like Fielding so have no qualms about the show. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12562-gbbo-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3576856
halopub August 24, 2017 Share August 24, 2017 (edited) A trailer with first episode clips, rather than creepy claymation marching towards their demise. Edited to add: I've noticed that contestant photos have started to circulate. The New Statesman published a non-serious analysis of their potential performance, based on tweets and instagrams.

lambertman August 24, 2017 Share August 24, 2017 Why exactly was it a BBC-or-GBBO choice for Mel and Sue and Mary, if Sandi still gets to host QI? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12562-gbbo-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3578734
dubbel zout August 24, 2017 Share August 24, 2017 I'm pretty sure it was an issue of personal loyalty to the BBC, not a business/contract thing. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12562-gbbo-in-the-media/page/6/#findComment-3578801
