A new series starts next Tuesday on Prime. It's no doubt a year or two behind, and some will have seen it already, but it will be new to those (like myself) who can only watch on Freeview.

If it has Sandi and Noel as hosts, it's the new one and they were up to episode 6 which we just finished watching online on Channel4.

Not sure what you mean. Channel 4 is Bravo on my Freeview.
I only caught a glimpse of a promo on Prime, so no idea if it's new hosts, but don't think Prime has shown all the series pre that change, yet.

Online means not Freeview, in this case it's UK Live TV and Channel 4 because that's who screens it there. The new season has Sandi and Noel as the new hosts, so when that one comes up, you'll be in the new series as of September 2017. I seldom watch Freeview here so have no idea what the promo looked like.

Great news, rather hoping it’s the ‘old’ GBBO, a real fan of Mary Berry - think she’s pretty special. But enjoy Prue Leith as well, so whichever lineup it’s eagerly awaited here!

I'm hoping it's the old one too! Love Mary Berry, and all the crew - why fix what wasn't broken?

The "new series" that starts here on Prime on Tues night is being advertised as the last series with Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood at the helm.

From what I remember the BBC lost the series to Channel 4 (I think) and Paul Hollywood jumped ship and went to the new producers.
The BBC were/are going to produce a new cooking series along the same lines as the old one with the remaining hosts and judge.

Was glad to see that it 's the 2016 series on atm, with all the old crew. Haven't made a lemon drizzle cake for a while, and now tempted to by some of last night's creations

He went with the show. The others didn't like the change of channel and did not.
Mary Berry has her own cooking show, I am watching some of them now, on Food Channel.

I've seen the line up for the new show. I'm afraid that neither of the two 'light relief' presenters resonate with me. One takes every opportunity to remind everyone of her sexual orientation and the other is an odd choice. The proof will be in the pudding I suppose.

I'm only watching it for Noel and Sandi. Prue is good and Paul is the same as ever. Mary Berry never interested me.

And the previous lesbian/comedian-actress duo was any different?

Has Sue Perkins made it a central issue for every TV appearance she has made? I hadn't noticed.

I've watched 6 of the new series so far and haven't noticed Sandi say much at all but I think someone else did? Maybe no-one here noticed it because we weren't looking for something to poke holes at and it's not important?

Sigh. I did say that the proof was in the pudding. I enjoy the original show and I'll give the new one a chance in spite of my reservations about the new presenters. I am not looking for something to poke holes at so why poke holes at what I say?

Can we please stick to what this thread is meant to be about? ie the 2016 series currently showing on Prime with all the old crew.

thank you it was starting to get confusing

Yes. I like the Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood combination so I am pleased that the series currently screening on Free-to-Air is a BBC production still. Those two presenters have grown comfortable together which has given rise to good natured bantering between the pair.

I hadn't noticed either, but while one the [tangential] subject of the fantabulous Sue Perkins, has everyone seen the Supersizers series? Best food/history/comedy series bar none - just wish they'd made more!

I agree.

Bummed missed this week's one as the recorder had a hissy fit and stopped recording. (I remember thinking it should be recording but figured I had the time wrong lol)

It was cake week starting with their interpretations of a good old lemon drizzle, ending with a mirror glaze creation.
