Opinion: what next for Mel & Sue?

If they are really loyal they will do something else with the BBC. But I suspect Sky - and ITV and maybe even Netflix and Amazon Prime and others - are waving virtual cheque books in their direction as we speak. Let's see if they can a) resist their dough b) find a project that works as well for them as Bake Off. Because what we've seen over the years is that with Mel & Sue, despite their obvious talents, some of their projects have been half-baked.

The Great British Bake Off without Mel and Sue? Tent-based tragedies do not come any deeper. Alison Carr is struggling. She bloody loves those two.

Mel and Sue to quit as Bake Off hosts

Comedians Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc will step down as hosts of The Great British Bake Off, Channel 4 says.

Having barely scratched 100,000 years of human history in January's one-off special, a full series of Jimmy Carr's celebrity quiz arrives to finish the job. As with the Big Fat annual affairs, the quality is likely dictated by the guests therein, but tonight's opening lineup suggests a strong start. David Mitchell, Bob Mortimer and Mel Giedroyc feature, while Kristen Schaal adds transatlantic talent to the historical hullabaloo.

Radio Times review

Sue Perkins is stepping out without comedy partner Mel Giedroyc to host a new comedy panel show. And no, we haven't become terrible writers who forget to tell you what the show is called - Insert Name Here is, in fact, a name game. Perkins picks a name - let's say Paul, or even Mary, for example - and two teams captained by Richard Osman and Josh Widdicombe battle it out with as much wit and wisdom about that name, and the famous people who've shared it. Our money's on Team Osman - he has already proven he's a font of Pointless information.

Talk about broadening your remit. Usually, C4's Big Fat Quizzes are merely satisfied with tackling year-sized slices of pop culture and current affairs. This time, though, Jimmy Carr rocks up with a panel game covering a whopping 100,000 years of human history. Guests including Mel Giedroyc, Richard Ayoade, Noel Fielding and Chelsea Peretti attempt to wring whimsy from historical happenings such as witch hunting, landmarks in the biological sciences and - nostalgia alert - 1970s board games.
