What's your dream Bake Off Reincarnation?

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

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.

Tbh I have had enough of it all.

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.

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!

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

I would have to turn the sound off Ana

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.

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.

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.

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

That the whole bloody lot goes up in a puff of acrid smoke.

I agree jinglbellsfrock (great name)

Nigel Slater's down to earth approach would make a welcome change from Paul
Monica G is critical but not arrogant
Raymond Blanc would be charming and amusing
Jo Brand and Miranda Hart? Would the bakes be safe from them?

Another vote for Lorraine Pascal, really like her approach and she is very knowledgeable. Chanel 4 already have a presenter in Kirsty Alsop, I would much prefer her friendly approach to presenting to some of the other suggestions.

I have learnt some good tips watching the programme so I just hope they continue to share knowledge and entertain us.

If they have to carry on, it musnt be a chef, more of a " home baker".So I do think Lorraine Pascall would fit the bill. She is also a lady as is Mary...if you get my drift. Her food is down to earth yet special. A presenter is trickier , Miranda would upstage everyone in the nicest way as would Jo Brand!!!!! Some of the women on An Extra Slice could do the job maybe.

Or just drop the whole thing and quit while they are winning.

So long as it's not the sanctimonious Jamie Oliver or the shouty greengrocer from Masterchef I really don't mind.

Shortlegs - ha ha ha - summed up in one !!!

PLEASE don't let it be either of them !

I would like Alan Carr or Gok Wan.

Noooo! Not Alan Carr...

I like baking but I never watch Bake Off on account of that slimey git Paul Hollywood. He came to the show with his Degree in stating The Bleeding Obvious. I've been following Mary Berry's recipes since she wrote the cooking column for Family Circle back in the 70s. It was an insult to her to have him lisping about nothing at her side. Please please please NOT...Nigel Slater/Jamie Oliver/Nigella/Jane Asher. What about Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall or that nice Irish woman (Rachel ???) or James Martin?
Mel and Sue can be pretty annoying too - interfering and trying to be funny, but not succeeding.
Thats my Grumpy Granny statement for today.

The combined 'look at me' talents of Paul Hollywood and Nigella Lawson would make entertaining viewing.

Paul Hollywood gets my vote for the person most in need of a "finger down throat" icon next to his name. What a self- publicising pillock he really is. Can't imagine how anyone can watch a programme he is on.

Agreed- what a pompous so and so. I think I wrote before about what a friend of mine from Canterbury told me. They really don't like him there because he had loads of debts when his bakery there went bust- and even now he is really wealthy- he has never bothered to pay his creditors there- small businesses themselves.

To be quite honest, I am fed up with the same series, BAke Off, Strictly, the Voice, Xfactor, etc, etc - time for something new, please.

I am sorry that Paul is staying. I would like to see Donal Skehan, a judge from Junior Masterchef. He has a lovely twinkle in his eye and a gorgeous Irish lilt. As presenter I love the comedy of Josh Widdicombe, who is great on the Extra Slice programmes.

Donal was great on Saturday Kitchen live.
