The Great British Sewing Bee

The show did not return in 2017 prompting much speculation that it had been caught up in the fallout from the disagreement between production company Love Productions and the British Broadcasting Corporation that followed on from The Great British Bake Off's move to Channel 4. However, on 20th April 2018 the BBC announced that they had commissioned a fifth series of The Great British Sewing Bee but that it would not return until 2019 and that comedian Joe Lycett would replace Claudia Winkleman as host.

In series 4, 5 and 6, it is implied that it is filmed in the old Bermondsey Mesh & Wire Works on Tanner Street, London. However, you can see trains through the windows, which would be impossible from that building. It is actually filmed at the other end of the road (47-49 Tanner Street).
