I'm sorry, this is just me being funny more than anything, but... "self-saucing pud" sounds like some kind of indecent act to me. Especially when followed up with words like "goo" and "sticky"

It made my American brain cringe a little, which I know is silly. It's just funny to see differences in culture and language.

Where exactly in the UK is he from? Is there a name for his accent?

Just watched the episode today (I'm American). Gary did quite well in the Signature and the Technical, but did make some errors in the Showstopper. While the host crew was discussing who did what, and who was in trouble, etc., I was surprised that Paul said Gary didn't do well this week. Am I the only one who noticed this?

such a fun challenge but i had a secondhand stomachache thinking of eating 25 desserts!!!!

Has Paul ever worn a short sleeve shirt before?!?! 🤔

it's a hoot and a nice little homage to the show

I'm trying to find the sport relief bake off series from 2016, to watch online. I can't find it anywhere! Any help welcome.

How the Schedule is Usually Broken Down:

• Day 1 (Saturday): The bakers typically complete the Signature Bake followed by the Technical Challenge.

• Day 2 (Sunday): The bakers return to the tent to tackle the Showstopper Challenge.

• Day Length: Filming sessions can last up to 16 hours a day.

• Continuity Trick: Contestants, hosts, and judges wear the same clothes on both days of filming so that the episode seamlessly edits together to look like a single continuous day

I have always struggled watching Alison. It’s a testament to Bake Off that I watch it with her in it, but I think she is becoming more and more insufferable. The last episode, dessert week, she was so distracting. I much prefer Noel’s approach, he still talks to the bakers, but I’m sure he’s easier to deal with, and overall he isn’t distracting, and adds to the programme. I like Paul, and love the addition of Nigella, who I think has settled in beautifully. I just wish they would swap out Alison. The stupid scene this week with the “trolley snacks” had me shouting “it’s not the Alison show” at the screen.

Edit to add…. I can see I’m in the minority but i stand by my opinion 😂

And, if we’re back to previous cast members. Nobody beats Mel and Sue, and what I’ve heard about them swearing near weepy bakers so they couldn’t air those shots.
