con-fan Review of The Great British Baking Show

The Great British Baking Show (2010– )

Love this show up until the change of presentors

[9/10 · 18 October 2018]

I have watched the different seasons three times, and enjoy it for a late night relaxation. I adore the mansion, the gardens and overall setting for the show, just lovely. The baking creations are simply marvelous especially the show stoppers. Such creativity! The amateur bakers are so intense on their work but often quite funny too. I loved and miss Mary Berry! She was so inspiring, with her cute little outfits and perfectly offset Hollywood's gruffness. I'm not as keen on the two new sidekicks and miss Sue and Mel's interaction and light banter with the contestants. The new guy is pretty annoying but I'm getting used to him. One thing I just noticed - everyone was wearing the same clothes for two days in a row?? Or is the whole thing is just staged in one day that is supposed to be taking two days? Despite the changes I hope it continues as it is a lot of fun. But I would be happier if Mary, Mel and Sue would come back next season....
