Just piling on. This was a lousy thing to do.
So I'm not the only one!
I don't get it.... nothing from the Roku channel people?
I would think that this many dissatisfied customers would warrant some official reply....
Just an opinion...
Agree with all the comments. Why didn't Roku advise that the Bake Off would be dropped. Like everyone else I was in the middle of a seaon. Very frustrating since this is the only way to watch the early seasons. Couldn't even find it on YouTube..made me mad enough to drop Discovery + from Roku.
I had the same experience - happily watching the end of season six one night, the next day "poof" it is gone. Is this something that Roku does? Just pull shows like this without warning? I really wanted to get through all of the Mary Berry shows as well and am so disappointed to see the VOD shows disappeared! I'm going to see if there's a way to contact customer service.
I had a chat with their support team regarding not able to watch GBBS and I don't think he understood. He sent it to his 'backend' team and they are suppose to get back with me. I will let you know what I find out. I too was shocked it just disappeared.
Netflix is only showing the "Collections" that start with what should be season 8 of the GBBO when they switched from BBC to Channel 4, and Prue took Marry Berry's place (plus new hosts, Mel and Sue gone). It's confusing because they started back at number 1 but they are "Collection 1" and so forth. I hadn't been able to find the "legacy" BBC Mary Berry seasons anywhere but on Roku and now they are gone.
Please share what you find out.
Does anyone know if there is even an option for a paid method to watch these initial shows that Netflix can not offer (did not get a license from what I read)?
I’m watching was watching on my Samsung Smart TV and was so excited when I found the earlier shows after watching all of the Netflix later shows.
And Roku should have the courtesy to tell us why they took them off and what options we may have in the future to watch them or perhaps they will release their license and let Netflix show them?
I noticed a reddit thread that references gbbo discontinuing on roku back in May so I assume this is the extended resolution of that... I'm still confused on Netflix bc I don't have it.. are full seasons 5 and on showing there or not?
Same! Right in the middle of Season 4! So frustrating! And like others have said, I'm willing to pay to stream it, but it doesn't seem like that's an option anywhere. 😞
