I love baking!!!... but what do we learn about baking from this show? It doesn't teach how to do it and like you, watching a show watching other people bake is not entertainment in my book. Just sheer boredom.

The only reason it probably gets so many viewers, is, this show is as close to baking as most people will get these days, which is a great shame.

A lot of tv shows, British shows, are just nothingness reality junk. It all started with those BBC shows about the cruise ship, learning to drive and I forget the other one, in the 90's. First it was three, then five, then ten and now reality dominates our tv. At least celebrity chef shows are on the decline a bit.

Thank god for netflix and amazon.

I can't stand them. Zero talent, zero charisma.
