    The article says that this could be the last year on BBC. It may soon be moving to ITV (for some reason).

    Bake Off with ads... hmmm.... they might have to cut it down to 2 challenges like the Irish one. That wouldn't be good.
    I dont see the BBC letting it go, only Top Gear is bigger. Then again the way the give up rights to things like the golf without a fight is annoying.

    It's not their programme, it's owned by a company called Love Productions who own the rights to it and as such can sell it to whoever they wish. BBC simply have a contract to buy the programme until 2016, after that it's a free market.

    They're a big company and they'll go where they feel they can make the most cash long term.

    There's no way they can cut the show down to two challenges if it does go to ITV, more likely to go to a 75 or 90 minute format.

    It opens up huge possibilities for ad revenue for ITV so I wouldn't be surprised to see it go.

    Top Gear is different as it's owned by the BBC.

  • Registered Users Posts: 16 Sassenach


    We get it you like swallows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 449 ✭✭rhapsody


    Selasi is calm & not repeating his sponge I think, my money's on him for this week anyway.

    Not really warming to any of them apart from Selasi.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,573 ✭✭✭pajor


    Well the right person was eliminated imo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭ShazGV


    I like Selasi & Benjamina so far :)

    Definitely. You'd have to wonder how he got chosen for the show!

    It was probably just nerves that made him mess up. He still deserved to go.

    Liked the first episode anyway. I thought they'd focus more on the actual mirror glaze than the sponge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,186 ✭✭✭dee_mc


    So far I really like Selasi, Benjamina, Candice and Jane. The older lady will really annoy me but I don't expect she'll be around much longer. Oops, I mean on the show!
    3 great challenges to start, and the right person went. Delighted Bake Off is finally back!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,174 ✭✭✭RhubarbCrumble


    Delighted to see it back tonight. Benjamina is my favourite so far and agree that it was a very fair elimination tonight. That person definitely deserved to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭livedadream


    am i the only one in a total rage about the mirror glazed last night?

    paul and mary oh it has a great shine on it and a rake of bubbles or lumps!

    event he best mirror glazes had bubbles or lines or flaws, i was angry because paul and mary were waxing lyrical about how great they were when i could see very clearly on my tv the bubbles

    I loved Selasi! Definitely thought he deserved to win star baker. He's just so cool. I hope he wins the whole show and when they give him his trophy he just rides off the set on his motorbike, cool as fcuk :cool:
