Please Don't Make Me Watch

It’s lockdown, so normal Please Don’t Make Me Watch services have been temporarily suspended… Fear not, because we will be bringing you Hot Takes instead! These will be a solo(ish) in-depth look at a single topic in the world of film and TV.   For our first one, Sam (with a little help from Alice) dissects what he sees as the issues facing everyone's favourite baking programme, and why he thinks the show is in decline. Buckle up, because this is one Hot Take!   You can find us on Instagram @pleasedontmakemewatch, Twitter @Dontmakemewatch or email us at [email protected].
