The Great British Baking Show returns

10 years ago

I saw a program note that said The Great British Baking Show returns tomorrow night, Friday, July 1st. on my PBS station (NE Ohio) at 9pm. At least I assume it's a new season.

Watched the finale last night. All the bakers are fun to watch, but I really loved Nadiya...she was so emotional and just precious.

I love this show SO MUCH...

I watched a USA version and it paled in comparison imho. Not sure if I can get to watch it yet as I just have a roku...

I'm excited nonetheless!!! Thanks!!

There's a lot of oven door choices that are available in Europe for years that we don't have. The only options we have now is French doors which is a retread from designs in the 50s.

It was really annoying how Candice would purse her lips, esp. with the lipstick applied as it was; but I finally figured out why she did. In later episodes she didn't always make-up like that and I see she had two upper, side teeth that she attempted to hide. : ) Do you remember the actress who played Anne Bolene(sp?) in "The Tudors"? Candice resembled her a lot esp. with the lipstick.

I loved this show. I've watched all of the the Mary, Paul, Sue, Mel seasons. More than once! Tried to give it a chance after the debacle but Mel and Sue carried the humor, which was only second to the wonderful camaraderie the contestants had for each other. I really miss them all together. Becky, I've made that bread several times...including this evening! It's wonderful for toast, which my kids are looking forward to topping with peanut butter and jelly tomorrow morning :) I think it'd make great French toast, too. I use Corningware larger than the sizes of her Pyrex, 1.5 and 1.75. Tonight it was a 2 qt. round for one loaf, instead of two. Freezes well. Here's tonight's slice with some chicken noodle soup from Smitten Kitchen Every Day. I buttered, cooked on a sheet pan at 400 until the bottom toasted, turned and topped with a mix of grated fridge cheeses, and continued to bake until the bottom toasted.

Thank you! I've never seen it it real time, but I've watched many episodes on YouTube. Just yesterday I found my self referring to plastic wrap as 'cling film'. :)

I'm so disappointed. Even though so many promos for the show, it wasn't on. Comcast was wrong. . . Again.

All the cakes looked so delicious. Now I want to make a walnut cake. The chocolate gateau might be a little more difficult. : ) I could almost taste the chocolate and cherries through the tv monitor.

Glenda, I think we get PBS through the same station. I'll be surprised if you get it. There was a rerun of a program I saw some time ago about bakeries around the country.

You can visit the PBS website and watch complete episodes.....no matter where you are.

Yes, thanks rhizo. I do that often. It just makes me mad that PBS shows teasers in our aea, the newspaper shows it in their lineup, as does Comcast, and then it's not on.

Out PBS station does that when it comes to new Doc Martin episodes for some reason.

Uh-oh. You must be somewhere that has aired
the last episode already. As of last night, Aug. 12th here, there are still
three bakers left until the next episode - Ian, Tamal, and Nadyia. There was only one episode at 10pm. on Aug. 12th.

Yes, great ending as always!! They always manage to find the nicest group of contestants, quite humble, no egos and very supportive of one another. I think the hosts are hilarious! I'll miss Paul's gorgeous blue eyes till season 4!

So you're saying Nadiya won? Oh well, the spoiler is ok because I had a hunch she was going to be the winner.

Edited to say that I went online to see exactly what episode we got to see last night. It was the chocolate challenge and it had a date of airing as August 5th? I'm confused. Where are you guys from that have already watched the finale? Are you from across the pond? ha

I do not think that is what I said. What I said was I loved Nadiya.

You can cheat and binge watch the whole season on youtube. Also seasons 1 and 2.

So the episodes I saw were from 2015.

Are you saying 2016 episodes are airing now? I see online that it started in August, but DVR isn't recording anything? (ETA: because I'm watching PBS, and you're watching BBC?)

Yes, the BBC's new season began on Aug. 24th. It isn't airing over here yet. There is a new thread with spoilers on another forum I frequent so I dare not open that.
