Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...
I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing) This is what I saw in the dream. I SAW... Alexandra Grant is married. Not to Keanu Reeves. T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the East coast of America. (Not New York City) I Saw She was in a very close relationship with this "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character... This person has been "Away" for quite a while... (If you know what I mean) This person is threatening to return.. She will... To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors they both had a part in. As I write this. Keanu Reeves & his team. Do not know of this. Alexandra, knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away... STAY TUNED... MORE TO ...

It's bigger than ever! How?why did they screw it up?
Is it like Project Runway going from Bravo to switching to Lifetime?
In Britain we all have to pay a TV and Radio licence by law of roughly £12($16) per month to the BBC(BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION). If you don't have one but still get caught using a TV you get fined or jailed. The best thing about the BBC is that it doesn't have adverts(commercials) where as all the other channels do. Because of the revenue the other channels get from the adverts its mean that they can afford to poach a lot of TV shows with a higher bid. This is what channel 4 has done with a bid of £75 million, about 97 million dollar's roughly). So when it flops its going to really hurt.
Channel 4 is a good terrestrial channel which has made excellent and sometimes landmark TV over the years. That said, GBBO's tone and character is very BBCish and fitted its brand and audience perfectly. Channel four is supposed to be about innovation, not buying in other channels' flagship programmes. BBC1 is the main mainstream TV channel. C4 tends to be more niche but still very high profile, and commercial.
I think there's anger about the manner in which the deal has been done, plus talk of bad relations between the independent company that makes GBBO and the BBC behind the scenes. Apparently Mary Berry was working with the production company all day the news broke and they never mentioned the takeover deal to her, she only found out with everyone else when it broke in the media. That's pretty shabby and is not behaviour that inspires loyalty.
There's also tension as the current head of Channel 4 had to leave the BBC a couple of years ago due to a huge row over ageism towards presenters that even went to an employment tribunal. I've seen media gossip that this ousted chief still has enormous bitterness over the whole BBC ageism affair so has not steered this GBBO bid with entirely rational filters, and perhaps even a streak of spite. To buy this programme without even trying to secure the stars that give it its winning mix is careless. The attitude of the production company was that they invented the format and it doesn't matter who presents it. With thinking like that it deserves to crash and burn, just treating people like crap and thinking everything is about money.
The BBC has a unique character and position in the national psyche (like the NHS does) and this deal as the saying goes "just isn't cricket".
I might as well throw in the news for any Brits who don't realise, but the Rio Olympics is the last time the BBC will host it, or even have proper live coverage on free-to-air TV. The games have gone to a pay cable/satellite channel, which is a huge blow as they're like a national soap opera for the duration. Another damn shame.
Hope that helps!

Hello, yes it is the same person, and thank you so much for your kind words! I used to have an internet handle that travelled with me round the internet, now I'm quite enjoying the anonymous look.
