So here we go, after all the fuss about 'Bake Off' leaving the BBC we finally get a chance to see what Channel 4 paid the big bucks for.
And to be honest, it all looks reassuringly like it did over on the Beeb. Paul Hollywood is the same as ever, Pru is a decent replacement for Mary, and Sandi is a decent replacement for Mel and Sue. We've lost the annoying 'history of...' segments, and gained some annoying adverts.
The real stars of the show of course (and quite rightly) are the bakers themselves, and we've the normal mix of eccentrics, try hard's, and the token baking granny.
All in all with the exception of Noel Fielding (of whom I'm a bit undecided about) it all seems like business as usual.
