Rejected petition Bring back Bake Off to the BBC

We feel that the most popular show watched by BBC license fee payers should have been protected from poaching and bought back to the BBC.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of the UK Government and there is no provision for the UK Government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
