Last night we all settled down, with a cup of tea and a Mr Kipling mini Battenberg for the much anticipated return of The Great British Bake Off since its controversial departure from the BBC to Channel 4.
To be honest, it was reassuringly almost exactly the same, Paul (the Silver Fox), the location, the tent, the kitchens, and the commentary was all comfortably familiar, and we also liked the new people, Pru, Sandi, Noel.
All bodes well for a wonderful nom-nom-tastic series of Wednesday evenings for the next ten weeks.
Plus ……. Darrell applied weeks ago for tickets for it’s sister show, An Extra Slice with Jo Brand, how brilliant would it be if he was successful and we could be in the audience with our own version of one of the shows showstoppers, that would be an absolute dream come true ……
…….. Darrell has already started to air our baking tins just in case!

Excellent. Will Darrell try out some of the recipes at home? Will Nigel be his guinea pig?
Oh yes, it was exceedingly good last night - I agree - and LOVE the extra slice prog - SO hope Darrell you gets the tickets! JantheFan x
Love, love the Great British Baking Show!....we get it on our PBS station but it's inconsistent and not on specific times.....had no clue there was a BBC issue....we also get Paul's program visiting different cities worldwide and profiling great bakeries .....learned more about him as he talked a lot about growing up with his baker father and being head baker at the Dorchester.....a favourite for sure!....Love from Dianne
it was fab tv big love hugh
