Trivia

In September 2016, midway through the show's seventh series, it was announced that this series would be the last to air on the BBC, after rival broadcaster Channel 4 "poached" the series. The day after the announcement, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins announced they would not move to Channel 4 with the show, and would be stepping down.

User Reviews

Pure joy.

I was impelled to write a review in an attempt to drown out the homophobe and the rabid nationalist at the bottom of the reviews; pay no heed, this show is a wonderful celebration of talent, hard work and artistry from all kinds of skilled but novice bakers. I am enjoying the new hosts and mentors, although I do miss Mary.
