Bake off 2024 ... when will there be buns in the oven?

[Hobnobswantshernameback]

Any news yet on when the new series is due to start?
can we expect the same presenting/ judging line up as last year?
Do we think the Hollywood handshake will return?
And please god no tacky theme weeks

Agreed 👍

Very rarely but I think it has happened before.

I don’t recall one…

Hazel to go

Yeah hazel to go. Awful all the way through

Right decision in both counts

But Christian's showstopper was fabulous

50% right.

I'm pretty sure the Lion Bread got one...

I don't remember a handshake on the showstopper either. I enjoyed watching with you. See you next week!

I don’t remember enjoying a series this much in ages

Next week 🍸🍸🐎🐎

So that's the two over 60 bakers out in one week. They really need to give a stronger older baker a chance. They go for quirky personalities and they very rarely get further than half way.

Bread week. The one where Paul goes all preachy and Pru wishes there was alcoholic bread.

What great contestants I love them all

You'd need danger money to apply for the next series! I in 4 chance of falling over, based on today's episode.

Enjoying this series. Nelly is a character!

Nancy did very well. Did she win? Can't remember now.

Yes, Nancy won and Jane was a finalist, but no serious contenders since then, I think.

The show is all about the characters as well as the baking

It would never have lasted this long otherwise

According to this there have been 4 HH’s for a showstopper, but it doesn’t say who got them all. One was Josh for biscuit illusion (don’t remember that!)

Was it really necessary to have a support line for the issues raised 🤷🏻‍♂️

Plus Hazel and Jeff were a bit rubbish

I'm surprised they got on the show

Probably was due to their age to keep some viewers happy

Yes.

Urm yes very much so

It's triggering for many people

If you've ever known anyone who had multiple miscarriages, you probably wouldn't ask that question. You would not be expecting that content on a baking show and it might be the one time you ready to reach out for help so fair enough in my view.

I must have missed something then

I take it back I missed that
