Why?

[maggiebee]

It seems that every time I turn on the TV, Mary Berry is on. I thought she was a cook, but she seems to have become an expert on many things. Rather like a latter day Carol Vorderman.

[emmie]

rather boring isn't it, we need fresh faces for a change..

[bednobs]

what has she been on Maggie?

[emmie]

she was on the One Show the other day,

[Mamyalynne]

//Mary Berry's Country House Secrets on BBC One. In this series, she ventured to four of the UK's most prestigious stately homes and explored each through the prism of food and history. The locations included Highclere Castle, Scone Palace, Powderham Castle and Goodwood House.//

I enjoyed that little set of programmes back in 2017.

[maggiebee]

A Berry Royal Christmas, Country House at Christmas and Great British Bake Off Christmas Special to name but three bednobs.

[ummmm]

I find her very hard to watch.

[Apc2604]

I really can't watch her. 100% annoying in my opinion.

[Mamyalynne]

Almost all food related though Maggie - she isn't reading the News yet;-)

[Cloverjo]

She’s making the most of her current popularity. Probably won’t last forever if she pops up everywhere. People will get fed up.

[emmie]

she has been around on tv for a very long time..

[emmie]

Her first television series Afternoon Plus with Judith Chalmers came out in the early '70s and was a big hit with a lot of British mothers. Three children later she continued through the '80s writing books and filming television series for BBC from her home in Buckinghamshire.

Is that an old/repeat Bake off Christmas special? I'd assume Prue Leith would be in anything new. I would imagine some of the other programs mentioned are also repeats. Happens every Christmas. Not her doing...complain to the tv execs.

[Mamyalynne]

Country House at Christmas was last on 2018

The Great Christmas Bake Off airs on Channel 4 at 7:20pm on Christmas Day 2019 - no Mary.

I quite like her and I loved that programme with Kate and Wills.

[Buenchico]

I've not checked the Christmas radio schedules yet but I really, really hope that they've not let her loose on Radio 2 again this year. I find her presentation style totally nauseating!

[Unsureme]

A bit like that Romesh Ranganathan,he is on almost everything including Sky programmes.

[DarceyK123]

I much prefer Prue Leith on Bake Off, was never that keen on Mary Berry.

[vulcan42]

This is a problem with both BBC AND ITV, once they find somebody they think is popular with the viewers they put them every programme they can think of.

[SteveD]

Spot on vulcan42. Another one (who I can't stand) is Greg Wallace.
