Interesteg What makes it different from others?

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

studioAT Somehow this show has sprung from Auntie Beeb's oven and become one of it's biggest hits. And then it got nicked by Channel 4.Why does it work? Because it's warm and woolly, and quintessentially British, whatever that means.We know that it's a lot of fuss about cakes, and that it's chocker block full of innuendos, but then again so was 'Are you being Served?' and the public loved that.Regardless of whether you find Mel and Sue to be annoying, or whether you rate Paul Hollywood after his antics off screen, what cannot be ignored is that this show is oddly addictive and fun.Will it last though over on Channel 4? Time will tell.

Irishchatter Myself and my family discovered this in 2012 because as usual, you have 100 channels and there was nothing on. It's really enjoyable and it makes you hungry by looking at what the participants baked. Although during whatever they are baking, you would honestly get frustrated because you wouldn't want at least one of them to screw up their cakes. This would mostly happen when time is running out for them to finish off what they made!Even though, you wouldn't like Paul Hollywood for his deep criticism but seriously, he's like the best baker in the world. I love how the bakers just act awkward whenever he checks around. This is like checking if the bakers are doing their jobs properly! It's funny!You would absolutely love Mary Berry, she is like the mommy of the whole lot. She criticises more nicely than Paul Hollywood. I say that ticks him off haha! Now, who on earth would forget Mel and Sue as the hosts?! They are such good Craic and they really do make you laugh, regardless if this was a tense moment for the bakers to be making the cakes! They are also extremely helpful if either of the bakers are stuck or need a little hand. Who doesn't love them? They are such legends.I would definitely recommend people watching this whenever it's on!

Jackson Booth-Millard I heard the programme mentioned many times from various sources, including an appearance from three contestant of a series on Big Fat Quiz of the Year, you could consider both a reality and talent show, and one I am really happy I started watching. Every series twelve or above contestants are chosen to take part in the competition to find the best amateur baker, the prize for the winner is a special cake serving dish, but more than anything they win pride and the opportunity to go on to do whatever baking related career they want, e.g. open their own shop, do presentations, make recipe books. The show is presented by comedian double-act Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, and the judges throughout the competition are cookery writer and National Television Award nominated Mary Berry and professional baker Paul Hollywood. The amateur bakers are given three challenges each episode related to whatever they are making, these are: cakes, biscuits and traybakes, bread, puddings, pastry, pies and tarts, desserts, patisserie, sweet dough, European cakes, advanced dough and more. The three challenges consist of: the Signature Challenge - the amateur bakers show off their tried-and- tested recipes for bakes they might make for their friends and family; the Technical Challenge - the bakers are given the same recipe for a bake, with all ingredients, but minimal instructions, e.g. time amounts, this is judged blind and ranked from worst to best; and the Showstopper Challenge - the bakers show off their skills and talent with a bake that is of professional appearance and outstanding in taste. It is a fantastic show, with spin-off series An Extra Slice, and has inspired many competitions related to everyday hobbies and interests, e.g. The Great British Sewing Bee, The Big Painting Challenge. It won the BAFTA for Best Features, and it was nominated the Audience Award (TV) three times, and it won the National Television Award for Most Popular Skills Challenge Shows, and it was nominated for Most Popular Factual Entertainment Programme. Very good!

Douglas This show is a great reality show that keeps it interesting without manufactured drama. You end up caring for all of the bakers and want them all to do well. Mel and Sue make the show with their witty humor as the hosts. There is are also baking tips in the narration. For example, I now understand why bread needs to be kneaded and that gluten-free bread shouldn't be kneaded. There are also sidebars with baking history.One disappointment was in season three. There was a challenge to make an "American pie", even though one of the judges professed to hating American style pies. There were British fruit pies in another episode though that seemed pretty similar to American fruit pies.
