gomgeg Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I didn't say i did - but there a millions of people who don't care about the wider news. They're the ones who probably watch the programme and the ones the BBC are keeping up to date. I care about neither item on the news. If millions don't care about the wider news presumably they're not watching it. I would have thought there are enough programmes that need to fill up their schedules like the One Show and breakfast TV to put out this dreadful news about Mary Berry.

They may be intently watching for news and gossip about entertainment and "celebrities". It's each to their own, not everyone cares about the same things. It's of no real interest to me that Angelina's divorcing Brad neither is it that Syrian's keep killing each other but both groups of interested parties get the details from the same place. I watch local news and hear the other news as its always on every hour on the hour more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch local news and hear the other news as its always on every hour on the hour more or less. You could well be right, they may do. I was probably looking at it from my perspective. If I for instance were a big fan of Flog It, I wouldn't be watching the news to find the latest about Paul Martin, (perish the thought, I can't do with him either.) ---------- Post added 23-09-2016 at 18:08 ---------- The One Show is abominable. ! It's like Blue Peter" for grown ups ! Totally agree, right from the title music (I wonder if somebody got paid for writing that), but at least it lumps a lot of the dross together, and anybody watching it knows what to expect.

cressida Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I read that Jan Moir of the Daily Mail has called Paul Hollywood a rat for exercising his choice to change channels, I don't particularly like the man but think her 'rat' word is a bit strong. I thought of Delia Smith, but would she do it, she doesn't seem to have much personality imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I thought of Delia Smith, but would she do it, she doesn't seem to have much personality imo It's a cookery show, not a personality contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I thought of Delia Smith, but would she do it, she doesn't seem to have much personality imo She doesn't need "personality", she is an icon, beloved and trusted. She taught the world how to boil an egg again. On the other hand, would she lower herself to some baking gameshow? When she can embarrass herself at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Maybe they'll poach (or even, scramble) Pru Leith, although a Nigella Lawson/Paul Hollywood pairing would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffa1 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm glad Mary Berry is going, I'm fed up of seeing her in every newspaper and magazine I pick up. Who is this woman, what has she done in her earlier years are we supposed to know who she is and where did she spring from all of a sudden to make fame in her eighties? As for the program why don't they make a decorating program then we can watch paint dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB, I agree, the ratings would be high if the chemistry was too:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
