What's your dream Bake Off Reincarnation?

Let's go a bit more modern with Lorraine Pascale. Her baking recipes are brilliant and she presents well.

NOT Jane Asher!! - I have disliked her ever since I was in love with Paul McCartney and she was his girlfriend.

NOT Miranda either.

I like Monica Galeti and Sarah Millican.

Former C4 chief exec, Lord Grade. has apparently said he thinks Channel 4 has shot itself very seriously in the foot by this move. I suspect they bought GBBO on the premise it would continue in the current vein, as that's what's made it so popular. They probably did not expect Mary Berry to say she is not going with the programme.

For replacement presenters they could invite previous series' winners - it did 'Have I Got News For You' no harm to move from a regular presenter to a different one each week. However they will need a co-judge without a personal drum to bang and who enjoys some repartee with Paul H. I can't see any of the above suggestions playing second fiddle to him.

I'm not bothered either. Bake Off has had its day but I expect they'll come up with a completely different format and location so it might work.

I would have to turn the sound off Ana grin

I can't work up any enthusiasm about this either. I can't see it working with new presenters, no matter what gimmicks C4 employ.

Gino D'Acampo, Jamie Oliver and Sarah Millican - no one would be able to understand what anyone said! grin

(only joking. I'm not accentist, honest...)

But if forced to say ( taking a leaf out of Jeremy Corbyn's book) why not Jane Asher as one person, Delia Smith as another.

Tbh I have had enough of it all.

Jamie Oliver has expressed an interest in Bake Off not sure how that fits with his anti sugar campaign.
Love Raymond Blanc and Monica Galeti. Sarah Millican would be a good presenter.

What about a previous winner to be a judge or even guest ones with Paul . Mirander would be good as presenter don't think they need two

Or who would you like to see?
Or who do you think is likely to take over Bake Off?
I know many would want the original line-up to stay as is but who do you think could carry it off and make a success of it?

I think Miranda would be an excellent Mel/Sue option. And for the judges...anyone other than Paul. But I do like the Masterchef woman, Monica Galeti. What do others think?
