Trivia
On 13th August 2018 the BBC announced that it had commissioned KEO Films to produce an 8-episode second series of the cookery competition with the same presenters and judges. However, in January 2019 one of the show's judges, Dan Doherty, announced that he was stepping away from the show. This followed allegations of sexual misconduct made against Doherty by a female member of staff at the gastropub he owns. On 8th March 2019 the BBC announced that Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett would replace Doherty for the second series, that the show would be re-formatted and that series two would be broadcast in early 2020.

Mary Berry's the best

It's always a pleasure to watch British TV, especially the reality shows. The contestants are not just civil to each other, they're helpful and affectionate. The trope of "I'm not here to make friends" said with a sneer and a hair toss is unknown in British TV. Such a refreshing difference from American manufactured adversarial drama and whiny sore losers. (Well, that sums things up across the board, really.) Claudia as the host is engaging. Mary Berry - gracious but fun. Dan Doherty is a bit of a prig, as if asserting his imagined big-time chef credentials by contradicting the other judges. I hope there are more seasons to come.
