"The cooking show is The Great British Bake Off, the much-imitated and semi-duplicated staple of oven-based society, has aficionados everywhere, and remains a chief repository of Defector's very limited supply of admiration. There, the venerable Prue Leith, who replaced the equally venerable Mary Berry as the charming counterpoint to Paul Hollywood (real name: Paul Hollywood), announced that she would be leaving the show for its 17th series; her replacement would be another maven of televised British cuisine, Nigella Lawson."
"It is more difficult to stomach Manchester United's plan for, and this is The Athletic's description, "a dramatised retelling of the club's history . . . similar in style to The Crown." Good lord. Can we get a window-quality slider, double-paned with cheese, please? We (briefly) hesitate to condemn something that is currently only in the development stage; it is best practices, in cases like this, to wait for the catastrophic failures to reveal themselves."
Prue Leith will leave The Great British Bake Off ahead of its 17th series and Nigella Lawson will replace her. Lawson is praised for evocative, sensual descriptions of ingredients and holds notable influence in televised British cuisine. Manchester United plans a dramatized retelling of the club's history, described as similar in style to The Crown. The proposed series has provoked derision and skepticism as an expression of the club's self-importance. Observers note Manchester United's decade of poor results and accumulated scorn, making the dramatization seem tone-deaf and likely to underwhelm.
