The Washington Post

"I’m happy to say I was wrong to be so pessimistic, for the most part," Becky Krystal says of losing original judge Mary Berry and original hosts original hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. "Of course, you never forget your first love. The seven seasons with the original cast will forever live on in my heart, with a kind of ethereal glow, much like the idyllic sunshine-through-flora shots the production team likes to sprinkle throughout each episode. (Can someone please investigate the fake deer lurking in the greenery that shows up in way too many shots?) There’s no replacing the classics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate what has come after."
