"The Great British Bake-Off," or as it's called on PBS, "The Great British Baking Show," the world's most civil reality show, will move next year from the Beeb's primary network BBC1 to Channel 4, the commercial-but-not-for-profit net that hasn't had a reality hit since "Big Brother" moved to Channel 5 a few years ago--the current sixth season is running on the One right now:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bbc-lose-british-bake-927930 Snarky-yet-civil hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc want the show to stay on the Beeb and have already announced that they will not move with the show to C4. It is rumoured that judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry are also against the network switch, which may leave producers Love Productions to find a whole new cast. (Meanwhile, Union Jack, the digital radio station created by a bunch of Adam's former mates at Absolute Radio for the owners of the Jack FM franchise in the UK, which plays nothing but music by British artists, boasts on its web site that it is "more British than Mary Berry's soggy bottoms." If you watch the show, you'll get it.) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
