The Great British Bake Off: A double entendre about a cock

Wow. Hollywood signs!

As I suspected. The lure of being the only big fish was too much for him to pass up on.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Nice.

Now the BBC need to announce their own show with Mary and James Martin as Judges and Mel and Sue presenters

Every week would be Butter Week, then.

I'm fine with that.

They won't be able to quite do that, but they maybe able to move one degree of seperation away, in a similar way as say Dancing On Ice is to Strictly.

People will bring up The Grand Tour but as I understand it the sellable format is actually quite different to Top Gear.

As long as they avoid the title "The Great British Bake Off", they will be able to do pretty much whatever they want.

This is the industry I work in. I've been suprised before, but I think politically it will be too difficult for them to just do another baking show exactly the same.

Copyright law kinda doesn't exist in TV, but with such a small pool of people you can buy and sell formats from, you REALLY don't want to rip off a bought format. It happens overseas a fair amount, but I think of a good example in the UK.

X-Factor is basically Pop Idol/American Idol, is it not?

Yeach but it is done by the same people isn't it so it doesn't really count.

It is, but the format has major differences. The main one is it allows groups.

It also has boot camp, judges houses, judges training the acts, a different elimination structure and quite a lot of other things. What may seem like a very similar format is actually quite different from Pop Idol. The groups alone makes it a very different show.

The difficulty is I don't know where they take a relatively simple baking show to make it a DIFFERENT baking show in the eyes of format law. I have no doubt we will see a food competition format from the BBC though, but you can't just simply make Bake Off with a different name, that is not how it works. Be under no illusions, Channel 4 didn't just spend £75million for Paul Hollywood and a tent.

Its not done by the same people. Simon Cowell set up SyCo to run it. Idol was very much Simon Fuller's thing.

And Simon Fuller (of Pop Idol) sued Simon Cowell over X Factor and they settled out of court….

Well there ya go.

£25 million wasn't it?

Channel 4 announced that it had agreed a three-year deal for Bake Off, after programme-makers insisted that they wanted to remain on free-to-air television.

The commercial broadcaster is said to have paid around £25 million a year for the contract, which will involve up to 40 hours of programming each year, including a variety of professional and celebrity specials.
