Twelve amateur bakers compete against each other to win the title of Greatest British Baker. Each round sees an aspiring baker eliminated, until finally the winner is selected from the remaining contestants. Their skills on baking essentials like cakes, breads, pastries and desserts are tested in each round, and the difficulty increases as the competition unfolds. The judges are set to taste all the goods created carefully by the contestants, and the audience is able to follow all the trials and tribulations with a wholesome twist.

Bake Off's format is a well-oiled (well-buttered?) machine and it would be foolish to change a winning recipe. If this opening episode was a cake, it would have earned the coveted "Hollywood handshake". Go to Full Review Euan Ferguson Guardian 04/24/2019
This series is actually, suddenly, making baking more tense and more tremblingly harder. Go to Full Review Ani Bundel WETA 09/11/2019
There's something very comforting about tradition...the first three weeks of the Great British Baking Show have followed the same pattern: Cakes, Biscuits, Bread. Go to Full Review Louise Bruton Irish Times 04/24/2019
Maybe in 100 years time our robotic great grandchildren will look back at GBBO with disbelief. Or maybe they'll still be watching Bake Off in the year 2050 because after seven series, it shows no signs of going stale. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
