Well done to Mel and Sue for sacking off the GBBO move to C4 with this wonderful statement from the BBC:

But you’re here for the piss-takey comments, so here’s six of the best:

1.

Mel and Sue leave. Mary Berry rumoured to be off too.. Channel 4 have spent £25m on a tent, some flour and Paul Hollywood.

MWAHAHAHAHHAHA

Buying a show from another channel is just a way of announcing you have too much money and too few ideas. In other news, planet burning.

This #gbbo story is basically the Top Gear controversy but for people who shop at Waitrose and listen to Radio 4*.

*like me

Awestruck at Mel & Sue's stand against revolting greed of #GBBO makers. If I get offered it I shall think long & hard before accepting.

#gbbo without Mel, Sue, Paul and Mary would be like Top Gear with Chris Evans.

“Up next on BBC1, Mel and Sue present a completely new show, 'Cakes in a Tent'”

— Janine Gibson (@janinegibson) September 13, 2016

Basically the schadenfreude of this whole cluster-fuck is beautiful: greedy production company wants all of the money and overreaches and could end up with nothing.

How mad is it to enter into a deal like this and just assume your stars will tag along?

It’s basically a Greek morality play about greed and capitalism. Except it’s British and about cakes.

MEL AND SUE FOR PRIME MINISTER!
