The Great British Bake Off returns on Tuesday 20th August on BBC Two :D

[milk]

Just that: The Great British Bake Off returns on Tuesday 20th August on BBC Two I am so super excited Only 12 days to go!!!

Hurrah! I love this programme! Must tell my SIL - we watch it together and take it turns to bake something to eat while we watch!

Love, love, love this show, even though I'm a terrible baker.
I spend the whole time lusting over Paul the Kitchenaids.

I saw this on TV last night and must admit whooped straight away and have told all family to leave me alone on that night, I do not want dhs silly running commentary all the way through!

I can't bake either... but my sister can so I can tell her to bake what I see

I have already put it in the diary , is it me or do the cakes look a little less professional this year?

I just saw the advert this morning; let out a huge whoop and put it in the diary, how sad is that?

I am soooooooooooooooo excited about this

Squeeeee so excited. I love GBBO and have even converted DH :)

Excellent news, the kids go back to school/nursery and GBBO starts all on the same day!

Oooooh yes me too me too fabby news!!! AND ITV3 are repeating Downton Abbey soon

Wahey! Can't wait, it's my favourite programme on TV.

I've never seen Downton Abbey

I might -just might- dip my toe in the water this time round .

And straight after GBBO is a new series of The Midwives :)

Like. Like. Like :)

I saw the advert for it last night and am really looking forward to it! Past experience tells me to have a big dinner and pudding before watching each week, or else my mouth waters and stomach grumbles all the way through!

so relieved, I was convinced it had started tonight and I'd missed it. can go to bed happy now!

I can't wait, I love this show. Though I do feel a bit meh about Paul this time around after his affair, I hope Mary, Mel and Sue gave him a talking to...

I'm sooo excited! And my copy of the Everyday Bake Off book arrived today, so I have a few days to practise before Tuesday.

These are my Bake Off biscuits

I'm there. LOVE GBBO, so gentle and pleasant. Mel and sue and cakes and marquees. HEAVEN.

Ooh lets have a bit of fun.... without reading, looking at the pictures only - who is your money on?

GBBO contestants

I'm going for Frances. Meticulous and quietly competitive, she bakes to unleash the creativity within her that is stifled in her day job.

"Frances is a clothes designer by day" Hmm... my radar is well off....

Having read them all, I'm going for Christine...

Do you think that the MNer who was planning to apply got through? I wonder who she was - or if we'll ever find out

My money's on Rob or Christine (haven't read them as you said vivi ) they look a bit more experienced though of course that may not mean much. Good idea to have a bet before it starts !!!

So excited for the return of this show! Although I always say that I?ll try and bake the cakes they make but I never get round to it ? probably because I know they won?t look anything as amazing as on TV!
