I saw a comment saying that it looks as though they've photoshopped Noel and Prue's faces onto Sue and Mary's bodies

(sure, only in the last 2 seconds, but I'll take what I can get). That was a pretty fantastic trailer, well animated, albeit not in keeping with the tone of the show (it seems like one of Noel Fielding's nice dreams). |

I'm debating being like "well it is GBBO" and watching or if I'm gonna avoid it for the principle of it (and illegally download it instead coz f*** your viewing figures and ad revenues C4/Love Pictures)

Prue Leith (aka not Mary Berry) has dared to suggest people might watch on catch-up so that they can skip the ad breaks. That's certainly what I plan to do. I haven't watched an advert on telly (apart from there occasional one in someone else's home) for many years. That's what catch-up and the mute button were invented for.

All4 still forces ads on you that you can't skip. Sky/Virgin/Freeview box you can fast forward through is best way but then this still adds to viewing figures and I'm not 100% I want to do that

The Press have had their screening of the first episode and the general consensus is that despite the presenting change, the show is pretty much still the same as the BBC version which cannot be a bad thing I suppose.
Episodes will run at 75 mins with ad breaks. |

On a laptop you can't. I shall record it and skip the ads. |

I'll tune in out of curiosity but I want it to flop for what they've done
 Either way, I'm really curious to see what rating it gets on Channel 4. I imagine the newspapers have pre-prepared their 'GBBO in crisis with flop new team' articles.

It's setting up for a fall really, even if it gets like 8 million that'd be fab for Channel 4 or any other show, but given the 16 million who watched Candice win that'd be a flop for the show
They cant win really. I think we'll be pleasantly surprised given the reviews, it might be good but I just cannot see it coming close to the magic of the BBC incarnation.

16m watched the final last year? Blimey.
Can see this opening with 10m then getting 7-8m per episode after |

If Benefits Street & Big Fat Gypsy Weddings were able to get ~6-7m, this should be able to average at least 8m. Of corse it will always be down on the BBC ratings and, as people have said, the press will be relishing it, particularly as they're able to compare it to those 16m last year. As Suede said though, Channel 4 will have written their response which probably contains it being the most watched show on Channel 4 ever (I think the current record is Big Brother).
I'd say around 8-9m, possibly going up to 10m. The extra 15 mins makes it more awkward though. |

Well we've made it! Tonight sees the first episode of Series 8 air, the first on Channel 4 and the first with Prue, Noel and Sandi (instead of Mary, Mel & Sue).
Despite the new line-up and the new channel (and the addition of adverts), it does look very similar to what we're used to, with all three challenges remaining and an extra 15 minutes added to make up for the adverts. Will you be watching? When will be the first mention of a soggy bottom? |
