It really is timeless.. Just cooking in a tent.
I haven't seen the new series and probably won't, but this was a lovely surprise gift on my DVR.

OK, will watch the recorded shows now. DOn't know why I thought I saw it before. Perhaps I have reached that age where everyone looks like someone else I saw on something.

ok, thanks, have no idea why these people seem familiar, while I have watched the norwegian alone and the canadian amazing race, I have never watched the great baking show anywhere but on the PBS site if I missed an episode on TV.

I watched my taping of Friday night's show, yesterday. I'm not clear. Is John coming back? They didn't get rid of anybody else, but said two go home next week.

I just watched the Pie episode. I was amused at their take on the American Pie. I'm not sure any of them had ever seen an "American" pie, based on their results. First they all complained that our pies are too sweet, then they all used a sweet pie crust. None of their crusts looked light and flakey (like mine - ha!). And no berry pies? Then a few used squash in place of pumpkin. No pie pans? No double crusts? No meringue?? Just didn't look like any pot luck dessert table I've ever seen.

I know.... the pie episode cracked me up too. Since this was season 3, has anyone else noticed how elaborate the showstopper's have become in more recent season. I look at the show stoppers from this season and am not wowed by them at all.

Well dang, somehow I completely missed the finale. It didn't show up on my local PBS on any of the days that it is normally shown and now they are on to another season.
But on the bright side, Netflix is streaming what they call "Season 5". It's the first season with a new judge working with Paul Hollywood. The new judge is Prue Leith. There are two new hosts as well. While I miss Mary, Mel and Sue, I'm really enjoying this season as the bakers are very good. I think they've had some very challenging bakes just in the first two episodes.

I’m now watching Season “6” on Netflix. The new judge and hosts are as endearing as the ones who did not move over, although I miss those 3.

In case anyone is interested, Netflix is airing the current (2019) Great British Bake Off (as Season 7 of The Great British baking Show) on streaming, with each Tuesday episode (from the UK) appearing on Netflix on the Friday. We're currently up to episode 5 or so.
If anyone hasn't caught up with previous seasons (some of which are also there) beware of the first few minutes of the first episode, where they show past winners. After that so far everything is spoiler free.

I've been watching this show and I'm amazed at how well these bakers do. Some contestants say they have never seen or tasted the things they are required to make, yet most seem to pull it off. Great show.

Netflix has Nadiya Hussain's show "Time to Eat" now. And "Nadiya Bakes" will premier on Feb 12. The best winner of Great British Bake off.

If anyone is a fan of Sue Perkins (presenter for the early seasons) they might be surprised and delighted to see this:

I just stumbled across this on Netflix and watched the latest season and now am going back and watching other seasons. This show is greatness and I have so far liked all the judges (Paul Hollywood - the Simon Cowell of baking) and hosts. I am amazed at the difference in American baking and British baking. I like that the contestants have to do a wide variety of tasks, although the term "Biscuit" still throws me. My only regret is that my daughter started watching it with me so I can't just binge watch these days.

Two things:
1) the new 2022 season of GBBO starts this Tuesday, and will be on Netflix US as GBBS on Fridays.
2) the 2021 season of Junior Bake Off is at Netflix. It is so good!! I hadn't watched a Jr Bake Off before but I loved it. The judges were perfect for younger people, one was Liam, who some of you might remember as a previous (adult) contestant. DEFINITELY worth watching.

The season's usually 10 episodes, so you could wait until the end of October then binge. Or the Junior Bake Off is already there, all 15 episodes.
