The Great British Bake Off
Absolutely love this programme! Just the whole concept of it, add in the great Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood
plus Sue and Mel presenting, then of course the baking and recipes themselves, and it's the perfect hour's escapism for me.Any other fans on the forum?
Some recipes from the programme here:

Re: The Great British Bake Off
The contestants had their work cut out for them in this evening's episode. Biscuits, brandysnaps and macaroons.
A few disasters, but some real triumphs. I can't begin to imagine how stressful it must be participating in these tasks. I'd be a jibbering wreck!I think the right one went tonight in Ben. He doesn't seem to take the judge's criticism very well in regard to his flavourings and he basically had a bad round every round.
My favourite is Jason, who was Baker of the Week for the second time along with Holly, who is clearly a contender as well.
Great programme. Makes me want to get out my Mary Berry cookery book and get baking!

Re: The Great British Bake Off
Quite by accident I tuned in to last weeks programme as my lady had recorded it to watch later on.I normally hate these kinds of things with a passion but something about these ladies and their baking fascinated me and I just had to watch it till the end, without zipping through to the results.
I will confess to hoping that one of them would wack that snooty cake mixing harridan Mary Berry, round the ear'ole with a wet eclair.
Sadly that did not happen but I will have to watch the final this week and just hope her souffle collapses.
Seriously though, it was so nice seeing real folks enjoying what they were doing, the contestants that is.
Without wishing to be at all personal and speaking as the original f** B******, the girls all looked as if they really liked their food.
As for the other shows like this, I might be able to stand a little Masterchef but where will I find one at this late hour
