About

The Great British Baking Show (also know as The Great British Bake Off) Season 2 (2011) is released on Aug 16, 2011 and the latest season 13 of The Great British Baking Show is released in 2022. Watch The Great British Baking Show online - the English Reality-TV TV series from United Kingdom. The Great British Baking Show is directed by Andy Devonshire,Jeanette Goulbourn,Scott Tankard,Samantha Beddoes and created by Andy Devonshire with Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry.

A group of British home bakers are convened for a baking competition. There is a theme to each week's competition, generally in the vein of the type of goods the competitors are to bake (i.e. cakes, cookies, pastry, etc.). Each week, they are given a set amount of time to complete each of three challenges, their finished products which are evaluated by expert judges. The first weekly challenge is the signature bake, the competitors to bake something from their home recipes which are to signify who they are as bakers within the category. The second weekly challenge is the technical challenge, where each of the competitors are provided the same recipe, in large part of something they may have never heard of let alone baked before in their lives. This challenge is to see how knowledgeable the competitors are about general baking concepts. Their finished products are evaluated blind in that the judges have no idea who baked what. The third weekly challenge is the showstopper challenge, in which the competitors are to pull out all the stops to produce a baked good which overall grand appearance is as important as taste. At the end of the week based solely on the three challenges, the judges will name the best competitor star baker, and will send one competitor home, that person whose competition has come to an end. The final three competitors enter into the finale, the winner of that week who will be crowned the overall competition winner.

Reviews

Rachel Ward
Daily Telegraph (UK)
The tension of waiting to see if a sponge cake would rise doesn't sound like the most thrilling TV prospect, but the programme had just the right consistency of mouth-watering morsels, good humour, and fascinating history.
