The Great British Bakeoff

[DanaC]

New series started last night.


Oh how I love this show. I love that there is always a nicely diverse set of contestants. And I like that the show is interspersed with little segments of food history.

I like the little conversations between Paul and Mary about the contest (loads of double entendres :p) and I like the presenters, Mel and Sue...I also like watching the baking. It gets really tense at times.

But mainly, I like the screwups *grins*

In last nights round, there wasn't a lot of doubt who was going to go...he'd messed up his sandwich cake, and his showstopper was not very good, but his biggest mistake was when he used salt instead of sugar in the angel food cake...


Daft ha'porth.

[Shaun]

best show on TV :worship:

I like Ali, Kim & Glenn :love:

[Braden]

I love it. :love:

I literally gasped when the guy used salt instead of sugar. It's just such a big deal in this show.

[Shaun]

Nothing beats the tension and drama of watching someone move a cake around. I get so scared they'll drop it.

Also, Ruby is a bit of a moody cow.

Also, Glenn's Gaudi cake :worship: and the squirrel one

[smudgie]

Poor Toby:joker:

I love the show too.

Some of those cakes were outstanding, especially for a first show.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I love it. :love:

[DanaC]

The squirrel cake was awesome. And what about the chocolate bear and forest? How magnificent was that?

[Shaun]

That was pretty awesome yeah, I can see the two older guys and the scientist being another all-male final three.

[BigSister]

The bear cake was so good ^_^
It was my first time watching this and I enjoyed it

[Jack.]

[Braden]

Cointreau :love:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

It's not happening, is it? :joker:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Well done, Glenn! :love:

[Braden]

I can't remember her name, but the one who tries so hard to be like Miranda is quite annoying.

It's a shame because she seems sweet.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

The last challenge. Come on, Glenn! :dance:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Oh dear! What a mess ! :joker::joker::joker:

[Braden]

Oh no, I like them both :(

[Braden]

Frances' biscuit tower omfg

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Frances' biscuit tower omfg

Did you see the clock tower? Omg! Stunning! :shocked:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Christine is today star baker! :dance: Rob is leaving. :bawling:

[Braden]

Yes! The clock tower was amazing. I was so glad Christine was chosen as star baker, she's one of my favourites.

[Marc]

Watched this for the first time ever today, that geeky old man :worship:

[Marc]

Also that star baker was well deserved her clock tower was amazing.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yes, Christine is amazing! :worship:

[smudgie]

Loving it, some great characters.

Clock tower was amazing.

[Marc]

Somebody should have done a cock tower tbh

[Natalie.]

This is my first series, loving it. Love Glenn

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Howard is the best

Poor Francis, usually don't like her and think she is trying to hard to impress but felt bad for her tower falling last night

Despise Ruby, miserable cow

[Shaun]

finally caught up, finally have opinions on all of the bakers~

1) Howard. My very own Alan Bennett. Lovely gent.
2) Kimberley. Always brilliant, always smiling, seems lovely.
3) Glenn. Go up and down with him (ooh matron), since he's not very good and probably doomed to go on Tuesday, but he's funny and provides much of the baker-to-baker banter.
4) Christine. Horrible teeth, lovely baking. Not very interesting though... but I liked her prayers to the gods of crisp.
5) Ruby. LIGHTEN UP YOU COW. Talented baker, will probably win, but oh god stop complaining.
6) Beca. Stands out the last, seems nice enough. Spells her name stupidly.
7) Frances. She gets on my tits, always looks on the verge of tears, and has that smug self-approved "English" face whenever she's announcing what she's designed. She just really annoys me LOL

glad Rob went though, his stupid designs made his food look gross.

[Shaun]

also i miss ali </3

and when howard cried over him going :'(

[Ammi]

,,I don't know what the name of the guy that made the Japanese Tower was but I liked him..and his tower...

[Shaun]

Howard :love: as usual your taste is impeccable...

[Ammi]

..I can't think of anything worse than having to taste all of those biscuits though...

[Shaun]

oh I know... especially some of those flavour combinations :/ cherry and hazelnut :yuk:

[Ammi]

..I hate biscuits, that horrible crunchiness..when I was little I would lick the chocolate off chocolate digestives and give the biscuit to our dog, until my mum found out and told me off for trying to kill the dog..:sad:...and how come Mary Berry gets to be so slim when all she does is eat cakes and biscuits...

[Marc]

SOGGY BOTTOM

[Kizzy]

Aw, I missed this :( I love it!
I liked ali, can't remember all their names yet ...Is it repeated midweek?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

:amazed: New episode!

[Shaun]

howard's hemp loaf :worship:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

:lovedup:I love panettone.

[Braden]

Kimberly is just :lovedup:

Ruby is a depressing character, but she always makes the best stuff in my opinion. I wouldn't mind her, Kimberly, Howard or Christine winning.

[smudgie]

Awww poor Howard.

Glenn should have gone, grown man crying over a batch of bloody buns...

[Shaun]

:bawling: life isn't fair

[Braden]

Howard.

[Marc]

DlD HE GO?!

[Marc]

NO!!!

[Marc]

NOOOOO!!

[Marc]

NOOOOO!!! NO NO NO!!l!!

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Not Howard :(

Why is that miserable cow Ruby still there, she always looks depressed baking and looks like she don't want to be there. She will win it :( Should be lovely Howard.

[Marc]

Ruby is beautiful

[Shaun]

i swear, if frances wins i'm going to do a **** on her book

[Shaun]

****ing dull little "ooh i made a design :blush2:" cow

[Suze]

Aww :( I wanted Howard to win the show, but he did so bad this week it was inevitable he would be the one voted out :(

[smudgie]

Yey, pastry week.

Love baking with suet.:hugesmile:

[Ammi]

..aww, I missed the beginning...

[Braden]

I can't believe that Glenn is the last man standing...I'm not really a fan.

[Ammi]

..did Howard go..?..I missed last week...

[Ammi]

..Ruby's Roly Poly looked lovely..and ginger ice cream as well..:love:...

[smudgie]

..did Howard go..?..I missed last week...

Yes, between him and Glenn..even Glenn thought it would be him that went.

[Ammi]

Yes, between him and Glenn..even Glenn thought it would be him that went.

..thank you Smudgie..awww, I liked Howard..:sad:...

[smudgie]

..thank you Smudgie..awww, I liked Howard..:sad:...

Me too.

[Ammi]

..I have to say the nuns don't look that appealing...

[Ammi]

..I don't know how Glenn got 3rd when his was all running out..*has a vendetta against Glenn now for winning over Howard*...

[smudgie]

Well done Beca, I think I have put half a stone on just imagining what it all tastes like:hugesmile:

[Ammi]

..haha, I couldn't eat the suet puddings, I just have to look at them at school and I become weighted down to the floor, just too stodgy for me...

[Ammi]

..a ladies bake off then...

[smudgie]

Glad it was Glenn that went this week, he was lucky not to go last week.

[Braden]

Frances :bored:

The right person went in time for the quarter-finals.

[Cherry Christmas]

lol at Glenn thinking he had done enough to get through...:conf:

[Princess]

Glenn :( Even if it was his time to go. Who is eveyone backing to win? I'm Team Ruby.

[Cherry Christmas]

I think the black girl is good , name escaping me currently and Beca. I think Ruby is going to win though...all this winging it will see her take the crown.

[Ammi]

..I'm team Ruby as well, although the ones left all seem good for me she just has the edge...I just think it's a shame that Glenn stayed over Howard only to go the following week when maybe Howard could have had more chance of going further...

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Awwww! I'll miss Glenn. :(

[Suze]

Awwww! I'll miss Glenn. :(

Me too. Glenn expected to go though. All the blokes have been voted off now, so an all girl quarter final. I was hoping Beca or Frances would be next out.

According to Neil Midgley from this link (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10347590/The-Great-British-Bake-Off-episode-seven-review.html#) to his column.

Well, now they’re all gone. And one thing we know for sure, at this point, is that the 2013 Bake Off will be won by a resolutely normal woman. Which seems to be what the producers wanted, all along.

Although I doubt the producers did. Neil is probably just irked that no men made it through to the quarter finals.

[Shaun]

just watched it

Glenn :bawling: one of my favourites.

I don't like Frances... way too uptight and stupid and annoying. And I also find Ruby dull as hell, and her fake "I don't know what I'm doing" act wore off after week 3.

Kim or Christine ftw, like Beca too.

[Ammi]

..the hazelnut dacquoise looked horrible and sickly, it really annoys me as well that they cut ridiculously hugs bits off the cakes just to have a mouthful...

[Suze]

Every time I choose a favourite this series, they are next voted off :(

[Ammi]

..so it's all your fault then Suze..those poor bakers trying so hard and not knowing that your curse is on them...

[Suze]

..so it's all your fault then Suze..those poor bakers trying so hard and not knowing that your curse is on them...

I know :bawling: I will route for Becca or the one who keeps doing the fancy food, then maybe one of those two will go next :devil:

Hit BBC Two show The Great British Bake Off is to move to BBC One for its fifth series next year.

The current series is the highest rated show on the channel so far this year, with an average audience of 7 million.

Controller of BBC One Charlotte Moore said she wanted to "bring the show to an even broader audience on BBC One".

The successful amateur baking competition is judged by Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood and fronted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.

Its audience has grown from an average of 2.8 million when it first began in 2010, peaking with 7.8 million a fortnight ago.

The figure is more than last year's final, which drew a total of 7.2 million.

"I've watched the show grow over the last few years and earn a special place in the nation's hearts," said Moore, who commissioned the show in 2009 in her previous role at the BBC, alongside Janice Hadlow who is now the controller of BBC Two.

"It's been fantastic to watch it flourish on BBC Two and I can assure viewers I will continue to cherish it on BBC One."

Love Productions' Anna Beattie, who is also executive producer of the programme, said: "We're extremely proud that the show has captivated so many families and inspired so many people across the country.

"We aim to do everything we can to ensure its continuing authenticity and integrity."

The show is set to crown its newest winner next week.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a588568/david-brent-movie-coming-ricky-gervais-takes-the-office-to-big-screen.html#~oM4EFFACSsbTfg

The Office's David Brent is finally heading to the big screen with his own movie, Life on the Road.

Ricky Gervais will begin shooting the BBC Films movie in the UK in 2015, it has been confirmed.

"We find out what Brent is doing now and what's happened in the last 15 years since his redundancy from his beloved Wernham Hogg," reads the press release.

"He's a sales rep now, selling cleaning products up and down the country, but has never really given up on his dream of being a rock star."

The film will follow Brent's self-funded UK tour, and he believes that the film will end up like "Scorsese shooting The Rolling Stones".

It turns out to be a 'where are they now' documentary. He has to take a few weeks off work and cash in a couple of pensions, because the session musicians in the band are costing him more than he's getting in ticket sales. Tragic.

David Brent was the lead character in Gervais and Stephen Merchant's BBC Two comedy The Office between 2001 and 2003. The show became a worldwide smash and spawned a hugely successful US remake on NBC, which Gervais made brief cameos in as Brent.

Gervais revisited the character in 2013 for a Comic Relief special and then launched a YouTube channel with David Brent 'Learn Guitar' videos shortly after.

He also went on to take David Brent on the road, playing concerts in character with the band Foregone Conclusion, performing classic tracks from the TV series and new Brent songs.

:amazed:

[Marsh.]

:facepalm: Oh dear.

Bad move.

[Kizzy]

very bad move... he's older now so it won't have the same gravitas ( See! I've passed my GCSEs now, I say gravitas an ting)

[Christmas Dynasnow]

:dance:

Ricky Gervais is to make a big screen outing centred around his character from the The Office, David Brent.

The film, Life On The Road, will chart Brent's progress in the 15 years since leaving the company at the centre of the hit BBC Two show.

Brent will be portrayed as a travelling salesman financing a UK concert tour in the hopes of fulfilling his dreams of becoming a rock star.

The BBC film is expected to go into production next year.

The movie will be made in the UK but is intended for worldwide distribution. The Office was shown in more than 100 countries, and was also remade for a number of local markets. including the US.

:worship: Nancy

[Shaun]

oh :o I didn't see that elimination coming

[GypsyGoth]

oh :o I didn't see that elimination coming

Same, I thought she was gonna be one of the characters pf the series.

[Shaun]

oh, well at least Jordan's showstopper next week looks awesome. Godzilla biscuit structures <3

[Braden]

Who does Claire sound like? Her voice is so much like somebody's, but I can't put my finger on it.

[Marc]

Jordan should have gone... he looks like he smells

[GypsyGoth]

He reminds me of this canadian comedian

http://i.imgur.com/PdxVV99.jpg

[Marc]

Do you mean Iain?

[Marc]

I've only just watched the ep, I know about 4 people's names :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

That's 4 more than I know :laugh2:

And yep I think you're right, his name is Iain.

[Marc]

Jordan is the other hairy one

http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/those-great-british-beards-off-4023260

[GypsyGoth]

His teeth are distracting, I'm sure by the next ep I'll be used to him. But yea he prob smells of piss.

[Marc]

I reckon his breath smells of rotten celery

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh2:

I'm gonna complain to Ofcom.

[Marc]

I hope they forcefully remove him and return him back to under his bridge

[Suze]

Jordon should have been voted off first, even he was surprised he wasn't but I expect he will go next week anyway.

[Shaun]

I dunno, his showstopper looks pretty awesome next week (the biscuit structure with Godzilla and loads of skyscrapers)

[Braden]

Has anybody read about how someone cheated this week by buying already-made sugarpaste? :laugh:

[Braden]

On now.

I'm so desperate for someone to be all ghetto and say "I'm not here to make friends."

[Shaun]

spiking someone's pastry with some rohypnol

[Shaun]

i sort of want jordan's hair to catch fire

[Braden]

I want to try a Florentine now. They look lovely.

[Braden]

I think it ias repeated on Fridays on BBC2, kizzy.

[Suze]

Luis was star baker, and Jordan went home

They were absolutely the right choices for this week. No idea why I spoilered that :D Probably just because you did yours, Shaun.

[BigSister]

Yeah agree with the result this week on both counts
But why is it every week I watch it im hungry by the end of the episode :laugh:

[Daniel-X]

Watched every week!

Shaping up to possibly be my second favourite series ever just after series two

Diana and Iain both had their Baked Alaska in the fridge, Diana took Iain's out to get hers but forgot to put his back in. But from what I gathered that fridge wasn't his to use anyway?

oh :( that should've been brought up... but then he shouldn't have overreacted and binned it.

either way it was clearly unintentional, and all this abuse I'm seeing on twitter is ridiculous

Yeah he definitely overreacted, you didn't see Howard throwing custard everywhere when Deborah stole his.

And really?! Is poor Diana getting hate?

[Shaun]

yeah #dirtydiana was trending, people calling her a saboteur

I imagine a lot of it's tongue-in-cheek but there's a very strong consensus that she somehow "orchestrated it" and should be disqualified or whatever :joker: stupid people

#dirtydiana :love:

[Braden]

That hashtag is quite hilarious :joker:

But why are people unaware of the fact that they're so in the moment and don't have the time to care about anybody else? I feel for Diana if she has read the hate, she's 70 years old ffs.

That old bitch sabotaged beardy and took him down

I like all this years contestants, although three stand out for me, and that's Richard, Luis, and Martha. But be happy for any of those left to win :)

[FaLaLaLand]

My Fb is literally full of angry statuses from middle-aged women about Iain.

I've read somewhere that Diana has apparently quit the show? It's not connected to what happened on last night's episode, but as a result of ill health.

I could've swore that the whole thing was pre-recorded.

[BigSister]

I thought it was pre recorded too.....

[smudgie]

It is pre recorded.
Diana has left due to ill health...yeah really.
Iain is coming back in next week, well at least that is what he hinted at on the BBC this morning. When asked, he said you had to watch the show next week.

[Shaun]

Well I suppose it's only fair if she was ill.

Still really unimpressed and a bit appalled by the witch-hunt around her though. She's 69 ffs.
