Did Great British Baking Show VOD get removed?

Earlier today all 10 seasons were available and now only season 6 remains up. Has the license expired or is this a glitch? I recently downloaded the app just to watch old seasons.

      Something is going wrong with that show and Roku for sure. First it disappeared from my continue watching list so I had to search for it. I was in season 6 last week, and I went to watch episode 3 and all that was left was the last two episodes of 6, and season 7. Yesterday season 6 was back so I started watching it again. Today it was gone from my continue watching list again and only season 6 is available, all episodes.

      I did report it to Roku support, but all they could suggest was restarting my TV, which of course didn't do a thing. So I told them clearly the problem is on their end and to fix it!!! I haven't heard back.

      Support chat had no idea what I was talking about. There is only a version labeled "live" that goes to a live channel showing an episode of Mary Berry Cooks, nothing from the original seasons

      I was watching season 3 last night and fell asleep and when I woke up the TV was blank. Now I see that there is no season 1 2 or 3! Can you please get those on as soon as possible? It's one of my children's very favorite things to watch. And they love John and didn't get to see him win.

        Now the live channel is offering Paul Hollywood's Bread and some random episodes from Season 7 and 8 later, so clearly the license for at least Season 7 remains ... (Only 1-7 are the original BBC version)

      Hello, @Takashi O. I see some seasons have returned but Season 7 is still absent. Any chance that will return? We were at the semi-finals! Would love to see that and the final!

    Sorry Roku but this show was the ONLY reason I used your Roku app. I would imagine everyone complaining about the show being removed feels the same way. This issue is discussed on Reddit and many other community boards. This is a huge topic and you’re losing thousands of viewers and customers over it. 
    I’m gone, your viewing content is not anything spectacular now. You took off the one show that made you different from every other channel. I can now go to Hulu and watch everything you offer and find a better selection of shows. Shame on you Roku.

      I literally was watching it Monday, and it disappeared off of my selections. Yesterday I started season 4, and today half of that is gone! This is actually the reason I downloaded Roku. Are you working to fix this? I think a whole lot of people are not happy about this. Thank you,

        Same happened to me. Only reason I got Roku was for GBBO. Everyday they keep removing episodes. BIG LET DOWN ROKU!

      Yeah same here.!  We watched an episode last night no problem. Today, gone!  Come on Roku. Is this a glitch or do you really yank shows off in the middle of the month without warning?

    Is anyone else missing episodes 5 and 6 of Series/Season 6?  

    I tried working directly with Roku and after updating and rebooting my Roku television it still is not resolved.

      For the last couple of weeks, the seasons and episodes available keeps changing.  First I couldn't get all of Season 6 and now those episodes are back but Season 7 is completely gone.

        It looks like seasons 5 to 14 are available. What happened to seasons 1 through 4?

    Me too! I was in the middle of season 5. I hope it comes back. I love this show so much, and got Roku specifically for GBBO.

      Me too! When it left PBS, I heard it was on Roku and immediately went out and bought a Roku streaming stick and a Roku TV, for bedroom and living room. I was thrilled to finally be able to watch seasons 1 and 2 which previously hadn't been available in the US.

    I was watching season 6 on Roku and I wanted to go back to episode 5 because I missed it and on my Roku box and now app on my phone show that only episodes 8 to final are available on season 6 and none of season 7 are available.  It is infuriating
