There is lots of wood, exposed brick, shiny copper lampshades and those letters with light bulbs that you tend to see at weddings. Michael Hogan, writing for The Daily Telegraph described the kitchen as a `` swish barn, kitted out in twee, shabby chic style to resemble something from a glossy interiors magazine. '' Stuart Heritage of The Guardian called it `` Bland, awkward and awful ''. Scheduling conflict After Channel 4 's announcement that they will broadcast The Great British Bake Off on Tuesdays opposite The Big Family Cooking Show, the BBC moved the show to Thursday to avoid a scheduling conflict. The BBC said, `` Channel 4 's decision to move Bake Off from its long - term traditional Wednesday slot will be a surprise to many viewers who may see this as a cynical move. We never intended for our new cookery show to clash with theirs. There is room for both and we do n't, in this instance, see any public value in two public service broadcasters going head - to - head in this way.
