1
00:00:02,106 --> 00:00:03,791
MATT: Wow, Noel,
your make-up is amazing.
2
00:00:03,816 --> 00:00:05,640
You look just like that guy
from Extra Slice.
3
00:00:05,665 --> 00:00:08,001
You mean the handsome Tom Allen?
I don't know his name.
4
00:00:08,026 --> 00:00:09,260
I never watch it.
5
00:00:09,285 --> 00:00:10,871
# Dashing through the snow
6
00:00:10,896 --> 00:00:13,151
# Though there wasn't any snow
7
00:00:13,176 --> 00:00:15,440
# So we've added lots of snow
8
00:00:15,465 --> 00:00:17,751
# To make it look like snow
9
00:00:17,776 --> 00:00:20,031
# Some bakers from the past
10
00:00:20,056 --> 00:00:22,310
# Will compete in this event
11
00:00:22,335 --> 00:00:24,591
# We're going to have a blast
12
00:00:24,616 --> 00:00:26,510
# In the famous pointy tent
13
00:00:39,535 --> 00:00:43,310
ALL: Welcome to
the Great Christmas Bake Off.
14
00:00:43,335 --> 00:00:46,111
For somebody who can't sing,
I thought I did very well, actually.
15
00:00:46,136 --> 00:00:47,361
I thought I did very well.
16
00:01:08,826 --> 00:01:11,161
TOM: What better way
to celebrate Christmas
17
00:01:11,186 --> 00:01:13,591
than with three wise men -
sorry - four bakers
18
00:01:13,616 --> 00:01:15,231
journeying to the tent?
19
00:01:15,256 --> 00:01:16,551
Back we are.
20
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:19,260
Getting their festive
bake on are Rosie...
21
00:01:19,285 --> 00:01:20,751
Merry Christmas.
22
00:01:20,776 --> 00:01:22,310
"Jamie...
23
00:01:22,335 --> 00:01:25,161
It feels pretty surreal being back
in the tent, if I'm honest.
24
00:01:25,186 --> 00:01:27,951
"James...
25
00:01:27,976 --> 00:01:30,721
...and Ruby. I love Christmas.
26
00:01:30,746 --> 00:01:32,981
In season nine...
27
00:01:33,006 --> 00:01:36,231
I had so many highs and lows.
28
00:01:36,256 --> 00:01:39,440
...she not only managed
back-to-back Star Baker wins...
29
00:01:39,465 --> 00:01:44,111
NOEL:
30
00:01:44,136 --> 00:01:46,721
...but an infamous structural
disaster.
31
00:01:46,746 --> 00:01:49,551
I don't think you can get much lower
than your cake falling on TV.
32
00:01:49,576 --> 00:01:51,831
Oh, BLEEP. It's going to fall.
Oh, BLEEP.
33
00:01:52,976 --> 00:01:54,270
Oh, BLEEP.
34
00:01:54,295 --> 00:01:58,721
I still get sent that GIF on social
media, so I cannot get away from it.
35
00:01:58,746 --> 00:02:01,591
Her flair and flavours got her
all the way to the final.
36
00:02:01,616 --> 00:02:03,981
I love you all.
37
00:02:04,006 --> 00:02:08,390
MATT: Also returning is
uni student Jamie, from season ten.
38
00:02:08,415 --> 00:02:10,801
Oh, my goodness. I forgot to add
the eggs.
39
00:02:10,826 --> 00:02:12,551
Despite the odd mishap...
40
00:02:12,576 --> 00:02:15,031
This is another,
not to mince words, failure.
41
00:02:15,056 --> 00:02:16,241
...he charmed the judges.
42
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:17,801
It was pretty awful. Thank you.
43
00:02:17,826 --> 00:02:20,440
Although his bakes were
less of a hit...
44
00:02:20,465 --> 00:02:24,031
I wish I could say that it looks
dreadful and tastes fantastic.
45
00:02:24,056 --> 00:02:25,471
But... Looks great as well.
46
00:02:25,496 --> 00:02:27,440
...and he went home in week two.
47
00:02:27,465 --> 00:02:30,471
I did leave kind of early
so to be coming back, you know,
48
00:02:30,496 --> 00:02:32,031
I'm really grateful for that.
49
00:02:32,056 --> 00:02:33,671
TOM: He'll be joined by Rosie.
50
00:02:33,696 --> 00:02:36,031
Thinking back
on my Bake Off experience,
51
00:02:36,056 --> 00:02:38,390
I can't forget
throwing my tart on the floor.
52
00:02:38,415 --> 00:02:41,310
But the vet got over her
custard pie catastrophe
53
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:44,801
and proved a whizz
at creating edible animals...
54
00:02:44,826 --> 00:02:47,671
The whole composition is a triumph.
55
00:02:47,696 --> 00:02:49,721
...and went as far as the semifinal.
56
00:02:49,746 --> 00:02:52,310
You're a very, very clever vet.
57
00:02:52,335 --> 00:02:54,951
MATT: The last returning baker
is James.
58
00:02:54,976 --> 00:02:57,270
Back in the tent for the first
time in three years,
59
00:02:57,295 --> 00:02:58,881
I got my PTSD back again.
60
00:02:58,906 --> 00:03:01,241
He got halfway through
series eight...
61
00:03:01,266 --> 00:03:03,671
I'm a little more confident
than I'm letting on.
62
00:03:03,696 --> 00:03:06,241
...but got his fingers burnt
in Pudding Week.
63
00:03:06,266 --> 00:03:07,751
It's absolutely raw. Look.
64
00:03:07,776 --> 00:03:10,190
A bit of a failure.
65
00:03:10,215 --> 00:03:12,551
I went week five
and I still had more to give.
66
00:03:12,576 --> 00:03:16,911
So, which baker will land
the ultimate festive accolade...
67
00:03:18,136 --> 00:03:20,601
I have so much alcohol in my bakes,
and so does everybody,
68
00:03:20,626 --> 00:03:23,081
so as long as you go last,
they'll be in a really good mood.
69
00:03:23,106 --> 00:03:25,671
...and walk away with
the coveted Star Baker crown?
70
00:03:25,696 --> 00:03:27,241
Do I want to win Star Baker?
71
00:03:27,266 --> 00:03:29,241
I'm going to say no.
72
00:03:29,266 --> 00:03:31,190
RUBY: I don't know if anyone's
really competitive,
73
00:03:31,215 --> 00:03:33,751
or maybe they're luring me
into a false sense of security.
74
00:03:33,776 --> 00:03:35,111
Have I been played?
75
00:03:38,465 --> 00:03:42,991
Merry Christmas,
all you Ghosts of Bakers Past.
76
00:03:43,016 --> 00:03:44,671
Welcome back to the tent.
77
00:03:44,696 --> 00:03:48,190
Now, as you know, Christmas
is all about a child being born,
78
00:03:48,215 --> 00:03:52,551
and Noel has just become a father
again, so I am here in his place.
79
00:03:52,576 --> 00:03:54,911
So, for your Signature Challenge,
80
00:03:54,936 --> 00:03:57,241
Paul and Prue would like you to
81
00:03:57,266 --> 00:04:01,631
make 12 festive-themed
miniature panettones.
82
00:04:01,656 --> 00:04:05,471
Your panettones must be made
from an enriched yeasted dough...
83
00:04:05,496 --> 00:04:06,801
Mm, that sounds delicious.
84
00:04:06,826 --> 00:04:08,801
...and must have a highly
decorative finish.
85
00:04:08,826 --> 00:04:10,431
You have three hours.
86
00:04:10,456 --> 00:04:12,751
On your marks... Get set... Bake.
87
00:04:15,936 --> 00:04:17,041
HE LAUGHS
88
00:04:20,136 --> 00:04:22,440
I'm back. Feels like I never left.
89
00:04:22,465 --> 00:04:24,911
It is so bizarre being
back here at Christmas.
90
00:04:24,936 --> 00:04:26,351
Merry Christmas.
91
00:04:26,376 --> 00:04:28,270
I've never made any panettone,
92
00:04:28,295 --> 00:04:30,041
I've never actually
eaten a panettone.
93
00:04:30,066 --> 00:04:31,520
I have no point of reference.
94
00:04:31,545 --> 00:04:33,881
But sometimes that's good,
because then you're not stressing
95
00:04:33,906 --> 00:04:35,241
about actually making it right.
96
00:04:47,016 --> 00:04:50,601
If they put too much fruit into
their panettone, it won't rise
97
00:04:50,626 --> 00:04:54,270
quickly enough and they'll end up
with sort of little rock buns.
98
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:57,190
That's always a danger.
It does slow down the rising.
99
00:05:02,656 --> 00:05:06,431
The other danger is that Christmas
makes us think of really good booze.
100
00:05:06,456 --> 00:05:08,791
But alcohol slows the rise as well,
101
00:05:08,816 --> 00:05:11,681
so I think they should
avoid alcohol.
102
00:05:11,706 --> 00:05:14,911
And I'm hoping they'll be fantastic
because I love panettone.
103
00:05:22,496 --> 00:05:25,520
TOM: A panettone dough traditionally
takes a long, slow prove
104
00:05:25,545 --> 00:05:27,111
that can take days.
105
00:05:27,136 --> 00:05:30,070
ROSIE: Trying to make something
with an enriched dough so quickly,
106
00:05:30,095 --> 00:05:32,400
I'm trying every little thing I can
107
00:05:32,425 --> 00:05:33,831
just do to try and help
a little bit.
108
00:05:36,626 --> 00:05:39,351
It's tough making panettone this
quick, but we'll see how it goes.
109
00:05:39,376 --> 00:05:42,471
Right, let's get this baby mixing.
110
00:05:42,496 --> 00:05:44,911
Hello, Ruby.
111
00:05:44,936 --> 00:05:47,831
I'm actually OK.
112
00:05:47,856 --> 00:05:50,911
I thought I was going to be
petrified, but the more that
113
00:05:50,936 --> 00:05:52,041
you look at me like that,
114
00:05:52,066 --> 00:05:54,400
it's kind of bringing back
a bit of bad memories.
115
00:05:54,425 --> 00:05:55,911
I'm starting sweat
a little bit more now!
116
00:05:55,936 --> 00:05:59,481
No pressure, eh?
117
00:05:59,506 --> 00:06:01,791
MATT: Ruby's hoping to secure a win
118
00:06:01,816 --> 00:06:04,681
with chai, cherry
and chocolate panettones,
119
00:06:04,706 --> 00:06:07,551
packed with amaretto-soaked
fruit and spices,
120
00:06:07,576 --> 00:06:09,121
topped with chocolate ganache
121
00:06:09,146 --> 00:06:10,991
and a yet-to-be-determined
122
00:06:11,016 --> 00:06:12,400
set of decorations.
123
00:06:12,425 --> 00:06:15,481
I have practised bits of it.
124
00:06:15,506 --> 00:06:17,831
I've practised the bread.
I have done the bread.
125
00:06:17,856 --> 00:06:20,190
The decoration not so much.
Don't want to tell you,
126
00:06:20,215 --> 00:06:22,121
cos it's a secret what I'm
decorating it with on top.
127
00:06:22,146 --> 00:06:24,991
Also cos
I just don't know what it is yet.
128
00:06:25,016 --> 00:06:26,351
THEY LAUGH
129
00:06:26,376 --> 00:06:28,681
Thank you.
130
00:06:28,706 --> 00:06:29,711
Bye-bye, Ruby. Thank you.
131
00:06:33,345 --> 00:06:35,681
Dough's looking nice
and well-developed,
132
00:06:35,706 --> 00:06:37,351
so I can get it out
and start proving.
133
00:06:37,376 --> 00:06:39,711
Just popping that one in
for its first prove now.
134
00:06:39,736 --> 00:06:42,791
The dough needs to rise in
a perfectly warm, draft-free spot.
135
00:06:44,345 --> 00:06:46,631
Too high a temperature
may kill the yeast.
136
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:49,150
Too low and the prove will go slow,
137
00:06:49,175 --> 00:06:51,150
eating into the bakers'
precious time.
138
00:06:51,175 --> 00:06:53,511
JAMES: They'll go in for about
20 minutes to start with.
139
00:06:53,536 --> 00:06:55,881
Hello, James.
Hello, Paul.
140
00:06:55,906 --> 00:06:57,511
Hi. Welcome back to the tent.
Thank you.
141
00:06:57,536 --> 00:07:00,270
It's a joy to be back. Bread to
start with. You staring at me.
142
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:01,881
THEY LAUGH
143
00:07:01,906 --> 00:07:04,881
No pressure.
Tell us about your panettones.
144
00:07:04,906 --> 00:07:08,270
S0 I'm going for
a pina colada panettone.
145
00:07:08,295 --> 00:07:11,231
James's cocktail-inspired panettone
146
00:07:11,256 --> 00:07:13,631
will have lime and coconut
flavouring,
147
00:07:13,656 --> 00:07:16,911
pineapple chunks soaked
in lashings of rum,
148
00:07:16,936 --> 00:07:18,561
and come adorned with
pineapple compote
149
00:07:18,586 --> 00:07:20,871
and dried pineapple Christmas trees.
150
00:07:22,906 --> 00:07:25,481
Some of the proving, but also,
as you bite in, you'll get lumps
151
00:07:25,506 --> 00:07:27,400
of pineapple in there
and bits of coconut,
152
00:07:27,425 --> 00:07:29,041
so they'll also just add to it.
153
00:07:29,066 --> 00:07:31,761
Thank you. Fingers crossed...
154
00:07:31,786 --> 00:07:34,070
Sounds lovely! ..they're edible
at the end.
155
00:07:34,095 --> 00:07:35,891
Cheers. Thank you.
156
00:07:35,916 --> 00:07:37,861
Now just got to live up
to what I promised.
157
00:07:37,886 --> 00:07:39,781
And I've also built myself
a little plan.
158
00:07:39,806 --> 00:07:42,731
I'm a project manager by trade,
so the plan's going to work.
159
00:07:42,756 --> 00:07:45,811
If not, I had no plan,
so if you could edit that bit out,
160
00:07:45,836 --> 00:07:47,251
that'd be great.
161
00:07:47,276 --> 00:07:49,141
TOM: As the panettones prove,
162
00:07:49,166 --> 00:07:51,891
attention turns to festive
decorations.
163
00:07:51,916 --> 00:07:53,861
I might as well get
the decoration on the go
164
00:07:53,886 --> 00:07:55,611
because I don't know what
I'm doing for it.
165
00:07:55,636 --> 00:07:58,340
Just like Christmas, it's going
to be a surprise...for everyone,
166
00:07:58,365 --> 00:08:00,981
me included. Pineapple time.
167
00:08:01,006 --> 00:08:03,451
I'm going to make some little
pineapple Christmas trees.
168
00:08:03,476 --> 00:08:07,861
Welcome to Large Bald Gentlemen
Wear Christmas Shirts.
169
00:08:07,886 --> 00:08:11,090
This week, James is wearing
a reindeer with a Christmas hat.
170
00:08:11,115 --> 00:08:12,501
How about that?
171
00:08:12,526 --> 00:08:16,061
I'm going to decorate my panettone
with little gingerbread houses.
172
00:08:16,086 --> 00:08:17,451
A village for the elves.
173
00:08:17,476 --> 00:08:21,011
TOM: And Rosie's not be only one
crafting gingerbread adornments.
174
00:08:35,325 --> 00:08:37,941
Jamie's mixed spice and
ginger panettone
175
00:08:37,966 --> 00:08:40,300
will be flavoured with
ginger and dried fruit.
176
00:08:40,325 --> 00:08:43,420
It will be decorated with American
football helmet biscuits
177
00:08:43,445 --> 00:08:46,170
and served on a gingerbread pitch.
178
00:08:46,195 --> 00:08:48,531
How have you got on with
practising with this?
179
00:08:48,556 --> 00:08:50,021
Because it's quite tricky,
panettone.
180
00:08:51,726 --> 00:08:54,061
Have you been baking since
you've been at university?
181
00:08:54,086 --> 00:08:56,451
Have you?
182
00:09:00,445 --> 00:09:01,811
THEY LAUGH
183
00:09:01,836 --> 00:09:03,331
Looking forward to this.
184
00:09:03,356 --> 00:09:06,170
Welcome back to the tent.
Good luck.
185
00:09:08,526 --> 00:09:09,811
HE LAUGHS
186
00:09:09,836 --> 00:09:12,141
These will take about
an hour and a half to cook,
187
00:09:12,166 --> 00:09:13,701
so I kind of have to get them in.
188
00:09:13,726 --> 00:09:16,061
The gingerbread gets
about 15 to 20 minutes.
189
00:09:18,445 --> 00:09:21,781
As biscuits go in,
panettone comes out,
190
00:09:21,806 --> 00:09:23,781
as the first prove is up.
191
00:09:23,806 --> 00:09:26,611
So I'm now going to start
mixing in my ingredients
192
00:09:26,636 --> 00:09:28,340
and then get it in
for a second prove,
193
00:09:28,365 --> 00:09:30,300
cos I think the second
prove's the important one -
194
00:09:30,325 --> 00:09:32,611
that's where you really
want it to rise.
195
00:09:32,636 --> 00:09:35,141
I'm going to go in with my cherries.
196
00:09:36,245 --> 00:09:38,891
But the more festive ingredients
the bakers pack in,
197
00:09:38,916 --> 00:09:41,581
the greater the risk of
hindering the yeast
198
00:09:41,606 --> 00:09:44,381
and jeopardising
the all-important rise.
199
00:09:47,276 --> 00:09:50,531
Plenty of rum and pineapple, so
can't wrong with that combination,
200
00:09:50,556 --> 00:09:53,970
I think. I've got a couple of
other rurns to cram in there as well.
201
00:09:53,995 --> 00:09:55,420
I'm getting everyone drunk
202
00:09:55,445 --> 00:09:57,300
and no-one'll know
what they taste like.
203
00:09:57,325 --> 00:09:59,611
RUBY: I'm adding my chocolate.
Why not chocolate?
204
00:09:59,636 --> 00:10:00,970
Chocolate is Christmas, isn't it?
205
00:10:00,995 --> 00:10:03,331
ROSIE: These are my dates
that I'm putting in.
206
00:10:03,356 --> 00:10:05,661
At Christmas, there's always
box of dates around,
207
00:10:05,686 --> 00:10:07,420
and they're completely ignored
208
00:10:07,445 --> 00:10:09,251
while there's sort of better stuff.
209
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:11,251
And then New Year comes around,
and you eat them
210
00:10:11,276 --> 00:10:14,381
and you sort of remember, "Oh, yeah,
they are quite nice, actually."
211
00:10:14,406 --> 00:10:16,941
Rosie's date-laden dough's
got a lot to do,
212
00:10:16,966 --> 00:10:19,251
as her mace-flavoured panettones
213
00:10:19,276 --> 00:10:22,661
will also be packed with
cider brandy-soaked cranberries
214
00:10:22,686 --> 00:10:24,420
and mixed peel.
215
00:10:24,445 --> 00:10:26,781
They'll be topped with cider brandy
snow icing
216
00:10:26,806 --> 00:10:29,141
and a host of miniature
gingerbread houses.
217
00:10:29,166 --> 00:10:31,461
The worst disasters were when
I didn't give long enough
218
00:10:31,486 --> 00:10:32,300
on the second prove and
219
00:10:32,325 --> 00:10:34,661
I made rock cakes that you could
kill someone with.
220
00:10:34,686 --> 00:10:36,531
Oh, thank you.
221
00:10:38,556 --> 00:10:40,050
Thank you. Good luck.
222
00:10:40,075 --> 00:10:41,891
Pauljust said I'm a decent baker.
223
00:10:41,916 --> 00:10:45,811
I just hope they work.
That's the aim now. We'll see.
224
00:10:52,075 --> 00:10:53,781
"In schedule"?
225
00:10:53,806 --> 00:10:55,581
Not "on schedule"?
226
00:10:55,606 --> 00:10:58,141
And in. Around schedule.
227
00:10:58,166 --> 00:10:59,461
Around schedule.
228
00:10:59,486 --> 00:11:01,941
It's just a slop, isn't it?
It's super sticky.
229
00:11:01,966 --> 00:11:04,861
ROSIE: I'm going to prove them
in their cases,
230
00:11:04,886 --> 00:11:07,300
and then they've got these to help
them when they rise up,
231
00:11:07,325 --> 00:11:09,661
otherwise they just go,
bluh, over the top,
232
00:11:09,686 --> 00:11:11,381
which is, you know, a bit ugly.
233
00:11:11,406 --> 00:11:13,691
About 75, 80g into each one.
234
00:11:13,716 --> 00:11:15,611
Hopefully,
they're not coming up really high,
235
00:11:15,636 --> 00:11:17,970
they come up to about the top.
Just a little dome.
236
00:11:17,995 --> 00:11:20,501
The rise in the second prove
is critical
237
00:11:20,526 --> 00:11:23,180
if the bakers are to create
the light, soft crumb that
238
00:11:23,205 --> 00:11:26,331
panettone is famous for
and the judges are expecting.
239
00:11:26,356 --> 00:11:30,331
These are going to go in for as long
as I possibly can.
240
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:32,021
HE LAUGHS
241
00:11:32,046 --> 00:11:35,300
So I put it in for about
45 minutes to start.
242
00:11:35,325 --> 00:11:37,611
These, I would like to give them
an hour.
243
00:11:37,636 --> 00:11:39,581
RUBY: 40 maybe, 45 I'd like.
244
00:11:39,606 --> 00:11:41,941
50, let's be honest, I'd like more
time.
245
00:11:41,966 --> 00:11:44,300
ROSIE: We will see. What happens
happens with those now.
246
00:11:44,325 --> 00:11:47,741
I'm really, really hoping today
that they rise and, you know,
247
00:11:47,766 --> 00:11:49,100
a recognisable panettone.
248
00:11:51,406 --> 00:11:54,541
Bakers, you're halfway through.
Yikes.
249
00:11:54,566 --> 00:11:56,861
MATT: I think the right one's
bigger than the left.
250
00:11:56,886 --> 00:11:58,771
Let's do some marzipan.
251
00:12:00,356 --> 00:12:02,300
What? Don't do that.
252
00:12:02,325 --> 00:12:04,151
It's not going to work any more.
253
00:12:04,176 --> 00:12:05,251
Oh, no.
254
00:12:07,406 --> 00:12:10,411
OK, that's enough.
I can't do it any more, Paul.
255
00:12:10,436 --> 00:12:13,100
He must practice that in, like,
the mirror or something at home.
256
00:12:13,125 --> 00:12:14,251
That was ridiculous.
257
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:19,861
This is the pineapple compote.
258
00:12:19,886 --> 00:12:22,220
So there'll be little diced
bits of pineapple that
259
00:12:22,245 --> 00:12:24,050
look like presents on top.
This will be caramel.
260
00:12:24,075 --> 00:12:25,970
Then I've got royal icing to pipe.
261
00:12:25,995 --> 00:12:27,411
The biggest stress at the moment
262
00:12:27,436 --> 00:12:29,791
is that the panettones aren't doing
anything.
263
00:12:29,816 --> 00:12:32,131
Is yours moving?
264
00:12:32,156 --> 00:12:34,511
Gonna look in the drawer for me?
That's not a euphemism, is it?
265
00:12:34,536 --> 00:12:35,901
SHE LAUGHS
Which one? This one here.
266
00:12:35,926 --> 00:12:38,261
You want to just...? Down here?
Is anything happening?
267
00:12:38,286 --> 00:12:40,581
How do you know
when something has been proved?
268
00:12:40,606 --> 00:12:42,261
You've just got to hope and wish.
269
00:12:42,286 --> 00:12:45,331
ROSIE: Absolutely nothing has
happened. At all.
270
00:12:48,486 --> 00:12:49,901
SLIDE WHISTLE BLOWS
271
00:12:49,926 --> 00:12:52,661
Bakers, you have one hour left.
272
00:12:52,686 --> 00:12:54,691
SLIDE WHISTLE BLOWS
273
00:13:00,926 --> 00:13:03,261
These are my little gingerbread
houses.
274
00:13:03,286 --> 00:13:05,661
Cutting them out while it's hot.
It's where the elves live.
275
00:13:05,686 --> 00:13:08,021
Prue actually said that
I look a bit like an elf
276
00:13:08,046 --> 00:13:10,461
because I have very sticky-outy
ears. That's a bit mean, isn't it?
277
00:13:10,486 --> 00:13:11,871
I wouldn't mind being an elf,
278
00:13:11,896 --> 00:13:15,261
and then I could live in the
panettone world of Rosie's elves.
279
00:13:16,716 --> 00:13:19,461
They have risen a bit,
not as much as I would have liked.
280
00:13:19,486 --> 00:13:22,021
Well, they're warm. Need a tiny bit.
281
00:13:28,926 --> 00:13:31,621
My panettones haven't risen at all.
282
00:13:31,646 --> 00:13:34,821
They've had an hour
and they've done absolutely nothing.
283
00:13:34,846 --> 00:13:36,461
Literally nothing.
284
00:13:36,486 --> 00:13:37,941
We're going in.
285
00:13:37,966 --> 00:13:40,381
Good luck. Don't fail me.
286
00:13:40,406 --> 00:13:42,131
SHE SHUDDERS
287
00:13:46,005 --> 00:13:48,901
They've got to go in now or
they're not going to be baked,
288
00:13:48,926 --> 00:13:50,691
but they are going to be rock-solid.
289
00:13:50,716 --> 00:13:52,541
They've done absolutely nothing.
290
00:13:52,566 --> 00:13:55,411
Right, time for a cup of tea.
291
00:13:55,436 --> 00:13:57,941
What's all the panic about?
292
00:13:57,966 --> 00:14:00,261
Bakers, you have half an hour left.
293
00:14:00,286 --> 00:14:02,050
Yikes.
TIMER BEEPS
294
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:04,381
Everything is getting
slightly more chaotic.
295
00:14:08,796 --> 00:14:11,300
They're a bit messy with the
caramel but, to be honest,
296
00:14:11,325 --> 00:14:13,741
with flat panettones, slightly
messy caramel on my houses
297
00:14:13,766 --> 00:14:16,591
is literally the least of
my worries right now.
298
00:14:16,616 --> 00:14:19,541
I cut them a bit too fine,
so they've dried out super quickly.
299
00:14:19,566 --> 00:14:22,211
Christmas tree forests are all
different sizes, aren't they?
300
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:24,541
The plan for the decoration
is to wing it.
301
00:14:24,566 --> 00:14:25,741
I'm trying to make a holly leaf
302
00:14:25,766 --> 00:14:28,100
and it's proving to be the most
difficult thing!
303
00:14:28,125 --> 00:14:30,461
These holly leaves are going to
be the death of me.
304
00:14:30,486 --> 00:14:32,771
What sort things do normally
decorate your panettones with?
305
00:14:32,796 --> 00:14:34,261
If that's not a personal question.
306
00:14:34,286 --> 00:14:35,850
No-one decorates their panettone.
307
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,661
No-one even makes it.
You just buy it.
308
00:14:37,686 --> 00:14:38,951
It takes so long to make it.
309
00:14:38,976 --> 00:14:41,741
And let's be honest, Ruby, it's just
a dried up bit of old fruit.
310
00:14:41,766 --> 00:14:42,951
SHE LAUGHS
311
00:14:42,976 --> 00:14:46,411
It's like a Yorkshire pudding that's
been in the fridge for too long.
312
00:14:46,436 --> 00:14:49,131
MATT:
Bakers, you have ten minutes left.
313
00:14:51,486 --> 00:14:52,381
They should be cooked.
314
00:14:56,726 --> 00:14:59,060
Oh, dear Lord. I don't know what has
happened,
315
00:14:59,085 --> 00:15:00,951
but they are certainly
not panettones.
316
00:15:00,976 --> 00:15:03,261
RUBY: They didn't rise as much as
I would have wanted.
317
00:15:03,286 --> 00:15:04,771
Time to drench in booze.
318
00:15:04,796 --> 00:15:07,621
This is pineapple rum
and a little bit of black pepper.
319
00:15:12,046 --> 00:15:14,021
What even is that? They've got,
like, craters in them.
320
00:15:14,046 --> 00:15:15,131
RUBY: Bit of freestyle.
321
00:15:15,156 --> 00:15:16,591
Going to go for some snow now.
322
00:15:16,616 --> 00:15:19,341
This is just to add a little
bit of crunch, the nib sugar.
323
00:15:22,236 --> 00:15:23,621
Well, if anything else,
324
00:15:23,646 --> 00:15:26,100
I've got three balls to
go on top of my panettone.
325
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:27,701
And I'll say they're baubles.
326
00:15:27,726 --> 00:15:29,571
Bakers, you have one minute left.
327
00:15:32,205 --> 00:15:34,491
Ooh!
328
00:15:34,516 --> 00:15:36,180
Panic time.
329
00:15:37,516 --> 00:15:38,741
The saddest elf village.
330
00:15:50,926 --> 00:15:53,180
Bakers, your time is up.
331
00:15:53,205 --> 00:15:55,901
Please step away from your bakes.
332
00:15:55,926 --> 00:15:57,701
I'm hitting the rum in a minute.
HE CHUCKLES
333
00:15:58,955 --> 00:16:01,901
HE LAUGHS
334
00:16:01,926 --> 00:16:03,491
Oh, they look so cute!
335
00:16:15,606 --> 00:16:19,551
The festive bakers now face
the judgment of Paul and Prue.
336
00:16:19,576 --> 00:16:21,351
Hello, Ruby.
337
00:16:28,936 --> 00:16:31,190
They do look lovely. Very pretty.
338
00:16:31,215 --> 00:16:32,701
They're pretty heavy.
339
00:16:38,486 --> 00:16:41,781
They're very stodgy,
but I love the flavour.
340
00:16:44,215 --> 00:16:45,911
Too much?
341
00:16:45,936 --> 00:16:47,860
There's too much fruit in there.
342
00:16:47,885 --> 00:16:50,711
Um, it is more pudding-like
than panettone-like.
343
00:16:50,736 --> 00:16:53,740
However, it is delicious.
344
00:16:53,765 --> 00:16:58,501
And it is a well-baked panettone,
plum pudding, Christmas pudding.
345
00:16:58,526 --> 00:16:59,820
A sort of malt loaf, really.
346
00:16:59,845 --> 00:17:02,271
I mean, your decoration is lovely,
the marzipan is excellent.
347
00:17:02,296 --> 00:17:04,631
Yeah, I think
you've done a decent job with that.
348
00:17:04,656 --> 00:17:06,351
It's just the volume of fruit.
349
00:17:06,376 --> 00:17:07,711
Nice panettone.
350
00:17:14,095 --> 00:17:16,381
I must say, it looks wonderful.
351
00:17:16,406 --> 00:17:17,860
The trees are a little bit...
352
00:17:17,885 --> 00:17:19,021
They are different.
353
00:17:22,246 --> 00:17:24,581
Yeah.
354
00:17:24,606 --> 00:17:26,581
Trees never look the same.
355
00:17:33,885 --> 00:17:37,911
They do taste very coconuty
and very pineappley.
356
00:17:37,936 --> 00:17:39,820
They're too dense and too stodgy.
357
00:17:39,845 --> 00:17:42,501
You get a lot of alcohol and
a lot of things going on in there,
358
00:17:42,526 --> 00:17:44,911
and I think that's probably
retarded the yeast a little bit
359
00:17:44,936 --> 00:17:47,501
and stopped that from growing
as fast as it probably could.
360
00:17:47,526 --> 00:17:50,501
It's more cake-like than it is
panettone-like.
361
00:17:54,606 --> 00:17:55,661
What?
362
00:17:55,686 --> 00:17:57,631
Do you want me to
say something about it? Yeah.
363
00:17:57,656 --> 00:17:59,581
Do you like it?
I think it's really nice.
364
00:17:59,606 --> 00:18:02,301
I don't think
it was dense. It's a panettone,
365
00:18:02,326 --> 00:18:05,021
which is never very nice, is it?
Don't know why you set it, really.
366
00:18:05,046 --> 00:18:06,990
THEY LAUGH
367
00:18:07,015 --> 00:18:09,631
No, James, it's not
your finest hour, is it?
368
00:18:09,656 --> 00:18:12,351
Well, they tasted OK.
Thank you.
369
00:18:12,376 --> 00:18:14,631
I mean, it's a terrible cake,
but I liked it.
370
00:18:23,095 --> 00:18:24,820
The panettone's down at the bottom
371
00:18:24,845 --> 00:18:25,990
there, isn't it?
372
00:18:26,015 --> 00:18:28,461
It's quite small,
cos it sort of sits inside.
373
00:18:28,486 --> 00:18:31,271
Underproving is one.
374
00:18:32,606 --> 00:18:34,631
THEY LAUGH
375
00:18:34,656 --> 00:18:38,151
Oh, Jamie, Jamie!
Oh, Jamie! Oh, Jamie...
376
00:18:39,406 --> 00:18:41,901
They're raw, mate.
Have they actually been in the oven?
377
00:18:45,095 --> 00:18:46,901
It just doesn't have enough
liquid in it.
378
00:18:46,926 --> 00:18:48,271
And that's why it didn't move.
379
00:18:48,296 --> 00:18:49,940
The flavour, actually, is nice.
380
00:18:49,965 --> 00:18:53,070
I think the flavour's OK.
Thank you, Jamie.
381
00:18:53,095 --> 00:18:54,381
Thank you, Jamie.
382
00:19:03,296 --> 00:19:06,791
I think they look amazing,
like an Alpine ski resort.
383
00:19:06,816 --> 00:19:09,820
It's a whole village,
and it's absolutely beautiful.
384
00:19:09,845 --> 00:19:12,181
The decoration is so exact.
385
00:19:12,206 --> 00:19:15,541
If they taste half as good as
they look, I'll be delighted.
386
00:19:28,686 --> 00:19:32,431
The sort of structure and texture
you've got is nearly there.
387
00:19:32,456 --> 00:19:34,181
Your dough needed to be wetter.
388
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:36,901
And a softer dough would have given
you what you needed,
389
00:19:36,926 --> 00:19:38,901
because you have
a very, very intense flavour,
390
00:19:38,926 --> 00:19:41,381
and sometimes that
fights against the yeast.
391
00:19:41,406 --> 00:19:43,870
But the overall flavour
is indeed pungent,
392
00:19:43,895 --> 00:19:45,631
and it's powerful and I do like it.
393
00:19:45,656 --> 00:19:48,901
The look is perfection.
I really think it's beautiful.
394
00:19:48,926 --> 00:19:52,820
To achieve that in the time is
great. It looks amazing.
395
00:19:58,376 --> 00:20:00,381
No, I can't really complain,
they loved the flavours,
396
00:20:00,406 --> 00:20:02,820
even if it was more of a pudding
side than a bread.
397
00:20:02,845 --> 00:20:04,591
I don't care. They still liked it.
398
00:20:04,616 --> 00:20:07,101
A bit deflated, I was hoping
that they would come out better.
399
00:20:07,126 --> 00:20:09,870
Another four hours,
I would've been perfect!
400
00:20:09,895 --> 00:20:12,820
They said that there wasn't
enough liquid in the mix.
401
00:20:12,845 --> 00:20:15,151
If I ever make panettones again,
which I won't,
402
00:20:15,176 --> 00:20:16,561
I'll know for next time!
403
00:20:20,015 --> 00:20:22,870
MATT: The bakers now have
another chance to demonstrate
404
00:20:22,895 --> 00:20:24,631
their festive baking skills.
405
00:20:29,015 --> 00:20:32,820
Well, bakers, it's time for
your Christmas technical,
406
00:20:32,845 --> 00:20:35,381
which today has been set by Prue.
407
00:20:36,686 --> 00:20:39,511
Believe it or not, this works.
408
00:20:39,536 --> 00:20:41,261
Merry Christmas.
409
00:20:41,286 --> 00:20:43,231
THEY LAUGH
410
00:20:43,256 --> 00:20:44,661
Well, thank you very much, Prue.
411
00:20:44,686 --> 00:20:47,070
As ever,
this challenge is judged blind,
412
00:20:47,095 --> 00:20:49,661
so we shall ask the judges
to leave the tent.
413
00:20:51,686 --> 00:20:54,151
Where do you think they're going?
414
00:20:54,176 --> 00:20:56,950
Oh!
No. Fair enough.
415
00:21:10,286 --> 00:21:13,261
Oh, it's delicious.
Yeah, scratch is very moreish.
416
00:21:13,286 --> 00:21:16,151
Also, you should serve,
with your Christmas pudding,
417
00:21:16,176 --> 00:21:18,981
an orange-liqueur creme anglaise.
418
00:21:22,376 --> 00:21:25,101
On your marks. Bake!
419
00:21:29,406 --> 00:21:30,711
Crikey.
420
00:21:30,736 --> 00:21:33,461
A Christmas pudding in an hour
is crazy.
421
00:21:33,486 --> 00:21:35,031
It's a great challenge, though.
422
00:21:39,816 --> 00:21:42,101
I've never made Christmas pudding
before.
423
00:21:42,126 --> 00:21:43,181
HE LAUGHS
424
00:21:43,206 --> 00:21:45,620
Has Prue actually lost it this time?
425
00:21:45,645 --> 00:21:47,950
An hour and 15
to make your Christmas pudding?
426
00:21:47,975 --> 00:21:50,431
But, hey, Prue did say it works.
427
00:21:52,725 --> 00:21:55,070
So, Prue, you've chosen
a Christmas pudding,
428
00:21:55,095 --> 00:21:56,511
which I thought takes
hours and hours,
429
00:21:56,536 --> 00:21:58,070
as the Technical Challenge.
430
00:21:58,095 --> 00:22:01,231
It doesn't take hours and hours.
It's cooked in a microwave.
431
00:22:01,256 --> 00:22:03,700
It's exactly the same ingredients
that you'd normally have,
432
00:22:03,725 --> 00:22:05,431
but everything is speeded up.
433
00:22:05,456 --> 00:22:08,031
So how long is it for
the cooking time of this, then?
434
00:22:08,056 --> 00:22:10,620
35 minutes altogether,
half of it on low,
435
00:22:10,645 --> 00:22:12,431
half of it on medium - about.
436
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:13,981
That looks soft enough, doesn't it?
437
00:22:14,006 --> 00:22:16,341
It does, doesn't it?
It smells very festive.
438
00:22:16,366 --> 00:22:18,700
You know, we always say
that a perfect creme anglaise
439
00:22:18,725 --> 00:22:20,671
should just coat
the back of the spoon.
440
00:22:20,696 --> 00:22:23,101
Mm! The citrus, the fruit.
441
00:22:23,126 --> 00:22:25,461
There's such
a Christmassy flavour to it.
442
00:22:25,486 --> 00:22:27,778
The thing is, it is quite filling,
Christmas pudding,
443
00:22:27,803 --> 00:22:29,499
so we've got to go back in
and have four of these.
444
00:22:29,524 --> 00:22:30,989
That's fine.
445
00:22:41,683 --> 00:22:44,189
I think Prue's on the naughty list
for this one.
446
00:22:44,214 --> 00:22:46,708
She's been a bit naughty,
cos she hasn't put timings on it.
447
00:22:46,733 --> 00:22:49,389
What a stitch-up, guys.
What a stitch-up!
448
00:22:49,414 --> 00:22:52,269
There's no timings for any of it,
like none.
449
00:22:52,294 --> 00:22:55,828
70g of molasses. It definitely
smells like Christmas.
450
00:22:55,853 --> 00:22:57,219
It smells lovely.
451
00:23:02,414 --> 00:23:04,749
Lovely.
452
00:23:08,094 --> 00:23:10,379
Oh, no, I've seen worse shows
than that.
453
00:23:10,404 --> 00:23:13,189
Not on this channel, of course.
454
00:23:13,214 --> 00:23:15,549
I think they are saying
to microwave just because
455
00:23:15,574 --> 00:23:18,269
it will help the fruit
soak all the booze.
456
00:23:18,294 --> 00:23:19,549
It's just a quicker way.
457
00:23:24,374 --> 00:23:25,908
Two minutes, sweet.
458
00:23:25,933 --> 00:23:28,299
Go... Go.
459
00:23:32,884 --> 00:23:35,219
I'm just adding
a teaspoon of cinnamon.
460
00:23:35,244 --> 00:23:37,219
They've actually told us
the amounts of spice to put in.
461
00:23:37,244 --> 00:23:38,269
Very, very unlike them.
462
00:23:38,294 --> 00:23:39,788
I'm making breadcrumb.
463
00:23:39,813 --> 00:23:42,549
I've only just noticed
this loaf of bread on my surface.
464
00:23:42,574 --> 00:23:45,299
I was like, "Breadcrumbs, right,
which pot are they in?"
465
00:23:47,884 --> 00:23:50,578
MATT: Your lnstagram blew up
after you were on this show.
466
00:23:50,603 --> 00:23:53,069
Everybody's talking about Jamie.
467
00:23:53,094 --> 00:23:55,908
At university, did everyone
freak out when they seen you?
468
00:23:55,933 --> 00:23:57,828
Nothing crazy,
Winchester's a small place.
469
00:23:57,853 --> 00:24:00,749
Are you the most famous person
in Winchester? No, no! Who is?
470
00:24:00,774 --> 00:24:03,109
A guy from Made In Chelsea
walks around Winchester.
471
00:24:03,134 --> 00:24:04,908
So you're the second most
famous person in Winchester.
472
00:24:04,933 --> 00:24:07,578
I don't... I don't know, you can
say that if you want. I will.
473
00:24:07,603 --> 00:24:08,739
I'm not going to say that.
474
00:24:08,764 --> 00:24:11,019
You're the second most
famous person in Winchester.
475
00:24:13,114 --> 00:24:14,569
It's quite hot now.
476
00:24:17,623 --> 00:24:20,598
The fruit has kind of...
I think it's done it's fruity thing.
477
00:24:20,623 --> 00:24:23,598
So I just put the bicarbonate
of soda in. Oh, my goodness me.
478
00:24:23,623 --> 00:24:24,959
HE LAUGHS
479
00:24:24,984 --> 00:24:27,319
Ooh! Does fizz a bit, doesn't it?
480
00:24:33,594 --> 00:24:37,289
So I'm now mixing all the butter,
breadcrumbs, a couple of eggs,
481
00:24:37,314 --> 00:24:40,039
flour, the cinnamon, mixed spice
and then warm fruit.
482
00:24:40,064 --> 00:24:41,319
It smells lovely.
483
00:24:41,344 --> 00:24:44,169
Pretty wet.
Just need to mix it in properly.
484
00:24:44,194 --> 00:24:46,209
Fill half the pudding bowl
with the mixture,
485
00:24:46,234 --> 00:24:48,569
then sit the candied clementine
in the centre.
486
00:24:48,594 --> 00:24:50,239
Sounds like Heston Blumenthal,
doesn't it,?
487
00:24:50,264 --> 00:24:51,728
"Cover the remaining mixture,
488
00:24:51,753 --> 00:24:54,598
"cut a disc of greaseproof paper to
fit the top of the base and cover."
489
00:24:54,623 --> 00:24:56,959
It's got to the bit where you cook
it, and it just says,
490
00:24:56,984 --> 00:24:59,319
"cook it on low for...and
then cook it on medium for..."
491
00:25:05,114 --> 00:25:07,569
I've shoved it in for ten minutes,
and then I'm going to poke it,
492
00:25:07,594 --> 00:25:09,449
and then I'm going to shove it in
for a bit longer
493
00:25:09,474 --> 00:25:11,759
on a bit higher,
and then poke it again.
494
00:25:11,784 --> 00:25:13,209
And then still have no idea.
495
00:25:13,234 --> 00:25:15,169
I put it on for five minutes on low,
496
00:25:15,194 --> 00:25:17,569
and I want to put it
on five minutes on medium.
497
00:25:24,784 --> 00:25:27,209
Bakers, you have... How long?
498
00:25:27,234 --> 00:25:29,119
Uh, 30 minutes-ish.
499
00:25:29,144 --> 00:25:31,478
30 minutes-ish left!
500
00:25:36,503 --> 00:25:38,319
It's like a custardy sort of thing.
501
00:25:38,344 --> 00:25:40,009
Right, um...
502
00:25:40,034 --> 00:25:42,369
I'm going to heat the cream
and the milk in a pan.
503
00:25:42,394 --> 00:25:44,169
We're left to thicken this
just with egg yolks.
504
00:25:44,194 --> 00:25:46,808
So it's going to take quite
a while to thicken, I think.
505
00:25:46,833 --> 00:25:49,678
So beat up the eggs until
they are kind of quite pale.
506
00:25:49,703 --> 00:25:52,209
It certainly warms you up
on Christmas Day.
507
00:25:52,234 --> 00:25:54,209
I've got wrist strain
from doing that.
508
00:25:54,234 --> 00:25:56,928
HE LAUGHS
I'll have to go and see the medic!
509
00:25:56,953 --> 00:25:59,608
Ruby, how does it feel to be
back doing a Technical Challenge?
510
00:25:59,633 --> 00:26:01,928
Why?!
511
00:26:04,314 --> 00:26:06,649
You're always saying you're
stressed. You never seem stressed.
512
00:26:06,674 --> 00:26:08,969
It all seems perfectly under
control to me. What's worrying you?
513
00:26:10,554 --> 00:26:12,369
Look, it's just a bit of bread
and a few currants,
514
00:26:12,394 --> 00:26:14,728
ding it in the microwave...
515
00:26:14,753 --> 00:26:17,319
That's why I'm not a judge.
516
00:26:17,344 --> 00:26:18,759
It's looking wet.
517
00:26:21,064 --> 00:26:24,119
I'm going to put it on
for another ten minutes on medium.
518
00:26:24,144 --> 00:26:26,449
It's still really wet,
so I'm going to crank it up.
519
00:26:26,474 --> 00:26:28,759
Up to medium.
520
00:26:37,354 --> 00:26:38,759
It's just starting to bubble.
521
00:26:40,354 --> 00:26:41,928
Oh, we're starting to thicken.
522
00:26:41,953 --> 00:26:43,728
I prefer a runny custard
than a thick custard.
523
00:26:43,753 --> 00:26:46,039
I don't know how thick
they want their creme anglaise.
524
00:26:46,064 --> 00:26:47,249
It's personal preference, innit?
525
00:26:52,034 --> 00:26:53,938
What you've got here
is looking a bit like...
526
00:26:53,963 --> 00:26:57,249
...it's going to end up looking
like cheese on toast.
527
00:26:57,274 --> 00:26:59,529
Oh, I haven't stirred it.
528
00:26:59,554 --> 00:27:00,649
Do you know if this is heatproof?
529
00:27:00,674 --> 00:27:03,009
If I'm honest with you,
and I hate to be,
530
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:05,369
I think that's
the last of your worries.
531
00:27:05,394 --> 00:27:07,169
This looks like
a student flat right now.
532
00:27:09,474 --> 00:27:11,728
Bakers, you have ten minutes left!
533
00:27:11,753 --> 00:27:12,728
Ooh, hoo!
534
00:27:14,503 --> 00:27:16,199
I don't know that it's ready.
535
00:27:18,583 --> 00:27:20,938
It actually looks cooked.
It's a miracle.
536
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:23,969
Right, what have we got here?
537
00:27:23,994 --> 00:27:26,399
Looks all right.
It's a little spongy.
538
00:27:26,424 --> 00:27:27,608
It's risen up a little bit.
539
00:27:27,633 --> 00:27:29,249
I don't know of any test
540
00:27:29,274 --> 00:27:31,558
for a microwave Christmas
pudding being done.
541
00:27:35,074 --> 00:27:36,608
I reckon that'll be good enough.
542
00:27:36,633 --> 00:27:39,369
Just pass it through a sieve,
get any lumps out.
543
00:27:39,394 --> 00:27:41,728
It's not really lumpy,
but it's not perfect.
544
00:27:41,753 --> 00:27:44,049
It looks like it's split, and
I don't know how to recover that.
545
00:27:44,074 --> 00:27:45,808
I'm such a numpty.
546
00:27:45,833 --> 00:27:47,608
Going to turn it. Ooh!
547
00:27:49,914 --> 00:27:51,049
Ah...
548
00:27:51,074 --> 00:27:54,299
I don't know if I'm happy with it.
I'm happy it came out of the bowl.
549
00:27:54,324 --> 00:27:56,169
Oh, you beauty!
550
00:27:56,194 --> 00:27:57,919
It looks like a Christmas pudding.
551
00:28:00,324 --> 00:28:02,688
Now I'm going to spend
six minutes arranging my holly.
552
00:28:02,713 --> 00:28:04,478
Bakers, you have one minute.
553
00:28:04,503 --> 00:28:06,089
Right.
554
00:28:08,684 --> 00:28:09,839
Looks good.
555
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,478
Bakers, your time is up!
556
00:28:17,503 --> 00:28:19,199
HE EXHALES SHARPLY
557
00:28:19,224 --> 00:28:23,889
Please bring your Christmas puddings
awkwardly to the gingham altar
558
00:28:23,914 --> 00:28:27,604
and place them behind
your beautiful photographs.
559
00:28:28,847 --> 00:28:31,872
The judges are expecting
perfectly baked Christmas puddings
560
00:28:31,897 --> 00:28:34,872
full of flavour
with an orange creme anglaise.
561
00:28:35,927 --> 00:28:37,512
OK.
562
00:28:37,537 --> 00:28:39,392
Let's have a look at this one.
563
00:28:39,417 --> 00:28:43,002
It's nice and sharp, the line down
the bottom is nice and sharp.
564
00:28:43,027 --> 00:28:45,232
It feels OK.
565
00:28:49,977 --> 00:28:52,642
Well, there's the clementine there.
566
00:29:00,027 --> 00:29:02,591
Actually, it's rather good.
567
00:29:05,746 --> 00:29:07,752
There's nice balance, isn't there?
568
00:29:07,777 --> 00:29:10,791
And the creme anglaise...
569
00:29:10,816 --> 00:29:12,832
OK, moving on to number two.
570
00:29:12,857 --> 00:29:15,182
This looks a little bit lighter,
doesn't it?
571
00:29:17,107 --> 00:29:20,541
Yeah, it's not mixed well enough.
See these bits here?
572
00:29:20,566 --> 00:29:22,032
Let's have a look inside.
573
00:29:27,457 --> 00:29:29,232
This feels a bit more firm.
574
00:29:35,537 --> 00:29:38,721
It's a little bit more rubbery.
575
00:29:38,746 --> 00:29:40,392
Too long in the microwave, yeah.
576
00:29:40,417 --> 00:29:43,982
And we have scrambled egg as well
for creme anglaise.
577
00:29:44,007 --> 00:29:45,622
It's split.
578
00:29:45,647 --> 00:29:47,902
Yeah, it's split quite badly.
579
00:29:47,927 --> 00:29:49,262
That's a shame.
580
00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:51,112
OK, let's move on to number three.
581
00:29:51,137 --> 00:29:54,262
This is quite smooth,
colour's a little bit darker.
582
00:29:55,777 --> 00:29:57,471
This feels a bit rubbery too.
583
00:29:57,496 --> 00:29:59,312
It's breaking apart very easily.
584
00:30:05,696 --> 00:30:07,471
That's a little bit overcooked
for me.
585
00:30:07,496 --> 00:30:10,082
It's just slightly overcooked.
586
00:30:10,107 --> 00:30:12,392
Flavour's fine.
587
00:30:12,417 --> 00:30:14,032
The creme anglaise is nice, though.
588
00:30:14,057 --> 00:30:17,262
OK, last and hopefully not least...
589
00:30:19,647 --> 00:30:22,262
It has, and there's a bit of a soggy
bit there in the middle as well.
590
00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:23,752
Let's have a look inside here.
591
00:30:25,137 --> 00:30:28,192
Now, that holds together...
592
00:30:28,217 --> 00:30:30,512
...not bad.
593
00:30:38,576 --> 00:30:40,872
That one's not bad, that.
594
00:30:40,897 --> 00:30:43,262
Not quite as cooked as the other
two, so it's got more to it.
595
00:30:43,287 --> 00:30:45,832
It holds together better,
doesn't it? More pudding-like.
596
00:30:45,857 --> 00:30:48,192
OK, this is interesting.
597
00:30:48,217 --> 00:30:50,832
It is going to be difficult.
598
00:30:50,857 --> 00:30:56,232
Paul and Prue will now rank the
Christmas puds from worst to best.
599
00:30:56,257 --> 00:30:59,232
In the fourth spot,
we have this one.
600
00:30:59,257 --> 00:31:02,392
Jamie, overcooked,
and your creme anglaise is split.
601
00:31:12,467 --> 00:31:15,232
In second spot, we have this one.
602
00:31:15,257 --> 00:31:17,752
It's actually pretty good,
it's been cooked well.
603
00:31:17,777 --> 00:31:20,591
It's probably needed a couple
of minutes with the top bit.
604
00:31:20,616 --> 00:31:23,522
It's just a little bit raw at
the top, but otherwise pretty good.
605
00:31:23,547 --> 00:31:24,632
Thank you.
606
00:31:35,057 --> 00:31:36,752
Really, really, really happy
with that,
607
00:31:36,777 --> 00:31:39,112
especially winning one
where everybody's done well.
608
00:31:39,137 --> 00:31:42,341
Cooking everything in a microwave,
an odd Bake Off challenge,
609
00:31:42,366 --> 00:31:43,832
the microwave challenge.
610
00:31:43,857 --> 00:31:46,192
Third sounds great to me,
so I'm going to say, "l was third."
611
00:31:46,217 --> 00:31:47,801
If anyone asks
how many people were there,
612
00:31:47,826 --> 00:31:49,242
I'm just going to say,
"l was third."
613
00:32:02,897 --> 00:32:04,962
Day two of the baking festivities,
614
00:32:04,987 --> 00:32:07,792
and it's the final challenge
before Prue and Paul
615
00:32:07,817 --> 00:32:11,042
decide who will be crowned winner
of the Great Christmas Bake Off.
616
00:32:12,347 --> 00:32:14,681
I think after these
first two challenges,
617
00:32:14,706 --> 00:32:19,042
you can see some of them have just
become a little bit more polished.
618
00:32:19,067 --> 00:32:21,322
Some of the bakers haven't, um...
619
00:32:21,347 --> 00:32:23,152
Are there any that have got worse?
620
00:32:23,177 --> 00:32:24,912
I wouldn't say worse.
OK, just checking.
621
00:32:24,937 --> 00:32:26,962
I would say "not better".
622
00:32:26,987 --> 00:32:29,872
Who is surprising you the most?
623
00:32:29,897 --> 00:32:32,792
Rosie is doing very well. I think
she did well in the signature.
624
00:32:32,817 --> 00:32:34,601
She won the technical.
625
00:32:34,626 --> 00:32:36,481
Ruby's signature
was very, very good as well.
626
00:32:36,506 --> 00:32:39,351
It did slip a bit -
third place in technical.
627
00:32:39,376 --> 00:32:42,272
But, on the other hand,
James has lifted himself up.
628
00:32:42,297 --> 00:32:44,042
Does Jamie have no chance?
629
00:32:44,067 --> 00:32:47,431
Aw.
630
00:32:54,227 --> 00:32:57,202
Well, Merry Christmas to us all.
What a year it's been.
631
00:32:57,227 --> 00:33:00,322
It's nice to be back in the tent,
our safe place.
632
00:33:00,347 --> 00:33:03,072
And, Prue,
may I say how wonderful it is
633
00:33:03,097 --> 00:33:05,122
that you finally
stopped dyeing your hair
634
00:33:05,147 --> 00:33:07,681
and you're letting the natural blue
come through.
635
00:33:19,817 --> 00:33:21,322
Good morning, bakers.
636
00:33:21,347 --> 00:33:25,712
Welcome back to the tent
for your showstopper challenge.
637
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:30,122
Prue and Paul would like you
to make a spectacular illusion cake,
638
00:33:30,147 --> 00:33:32,992
representing your ultimate
Christmas Day feast.
639
00:33:33,017 --> 00:33:36,842
The judges are looking for
a deliciously deceptive display,
640
00:33:36,867 --> 00:33:39,681
which includes
one large centrepiece cake.
641
00:33:39,706 --> 00:33:44,122
And an array of
realistic-looking edible delights.
642
00:33:44,147 --> 00:33:46,431
Oh, I love realistic-looking food,
643
00:33:46,456 --> 00:33:47,992
like when a apple
looks like a apple.
644
00:33:48,017 --> 00:33:49,231
Oh, yes, it's so clever.
645
00:33:49,256 --> 00:33:52,712
And a sharon fruit looks just
like my mum's friend Sharon. Oh.
646
00:33:52,737 --> 00:33:54,481
You have four hours.
647
00:33:54,506 --> 00:33:56,712
On your marks. Get set. Bake!
648
00:33:59,067 --> 00:34:00,561
I have got a lot to do,
649
00:34:00,586 --> 00:34:02,592
but this is the last showstopper
I'm ever going to do,
650
00:34:02,617 --> 00:34:04,952
so, you know,
you've got to go for it.
651
00:34:11,456 --> 00:34:14,872
I have practised elements of this,
I might just do it.
652
00:34:14,897 --> 00:34:18,002
Might. It'll be a Christmas miracle
if I do.
653
00:34:18,027 --> 00:34:20,351
The showstopper challenge
we set the bakers
654
00:34:20,376 --> 00:34:24,872
is they've got to make
a festive feast illusion cake.
655
00:34:34,977 --> 00:34:38,361
You've got to dedicate
a lot of time to the decoration.
656
00:34:38,386 --> 00:34:40,072
So the idea is,
get your sponge done,
657
00:34:40,097 --> 00:34:43,712
get it cooled,
and then spend three hours possibly
658
00:34:43,737 --> 00:34:46,762
decorating this
to make it look amazing.
659
00:34:46,787 --> 00:34:48,122
It's a tricky challenge.
660
00:35:03,147 --> 00:35:06,152
MATT: The bakers are
creating multiple elements.
661
00:35:06,177 --> 00:35:07,672
Smells nice.
662
00:35:07,697 --> 00:35:09,152
With time against them,
663
00:35:09,177 --> 00:35:12,792
they must get the masses of
tasty cake mixture they will need...
664
00:35:12,817 --> 00:35:14,561
The coffee just brings
the chocolate flavour out.
665
00:35:14,586 --> 00:35:16,202
It's not actually a coffee cake.
666
00:35:16,227 --> 00:35:19,431
...mixed up and in the oven pronto.
667
00:35:26,506 --> 00:35:30,311
My illusion cake today
is going to be a baked cola ham,
668
00:35:30,336 --> 00:35:32,922
which is a chocolate
cola flavoured cake.
669
00:35:32,947 --> 00:35:36,561
I'm going to have marzipan
carrots, amaretti cookie potatoes,
670
00:35:36,586 --> 00:35:40,512
truffle Brussels sprouts, Yorkshire
puddings that are sweet and spicy.
671
00:35:40,537 --> 00:35:42,431
So it will be
a full-on Christmas feast.
672
00:35:42,456 --> 00:35:45,002
James really has
got his work cut out.
673
00:35:45,027 --> 00:35:48,672
His illusion ham centrepiece
will come with all the trimmings,
674
00:35:48,697 --> 00:35:51,032
including white chocolate
ganache peas,
675
00:35:51,057 --> 00:35:53,592
cranberry and port compote
in an isomalt dish
676
00:35:53,617 --> 00:35:55,642
and rosemary caramel gravy.
677
00:35:55,667 --> 00:35:57,642
Uh, yes, it is.
678
00:36:03,057 --> 00:36:04,311
It's going to be really tight.
679
00:36:04,336 --> 00:36:06,672
When I did this in practice,
I had a minute to spare.
680
00:36:06,697 --> 00:36:09,152
Good luck.
Thanks very much, guys. Cheers.
681
00:36:09,177 --> 00:36:11,441
All right, these go in the oven.
682
00:36:11,466 --> 00:36:13,152
All right, in we go.
683
00:36:15,057 --> 00:36:18,672
I just popped it in for 25 minutes.
I'll check it then.
684
00:36:18,697 --> 00:36:21,361
Now it's roast potato time,
cos they're amaretti,
685
00:36:21,386 --> 00:36:24,152
they'll crack a bit on the top,
a bit like a proper roast potato.
686
00:36:24,177 --> 00:36:25,392
So I'm making shortbread,
687
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:28,561
which is going to make
my sandwiched biscuit tarts.
688
00:36:28,586 --> 00:36:30,082
A new Rubes invention!
689
00:36:30,107 --> 00:36:32,481
This is the mixture
for my cheesecakes.
690
00:36:32,506 --> 00:36:35,392
So it sort of looks a little bit
like a Yorkshire pudding.
691
00:36:37,697 --> 00:36:39,231
Jamie!
692
00:36:39,256 --> 00:36:41,592
Right, tell us all
about your illusion cake.
693
00:36:47,187 --> 00:36:48,512
A fried turkey bucket?
694
00:36:48,537 --> 00:36:50,002
You know, a fried turkey bucket.
695
00:36:50,027 --> 00:36:52,361
You know, Prue, you go for
a fried turkey bucket sometimes.
696
00:36:52,386 --> 00:36:54,722
Is this your Christmas festive meal?
697
00:36:54,747 --> 00:36:57,672
But it's what you'd like it to be.
698
00:37:03,987 --> 00:37:05,852
Right.
So how is it going to look, than?
699
00:37:07,596 --> 00:37:10,571
AS Opposed to?
700
00:37:11,957 --> 00:37:14,852
Built of chocolate sponge
and brandy buttercream,
701
00:37:14,877 --> 00:37:17,702
Jamie's illusion
takeaway turkey bucket
702
00:37:17,727 --> 00:37:21,132
will also have the judges gorging
on chocolate mousse milkshakes
703
00:37:21,157 --> 00:37:22,932
and churro chips.
704
00:37:22,957 --> 00:37:26,491
It sounds really delicious,
but I don't like the theme at all.
705
00:37:26,516 --> 00:37:28,451
You may not know this,
706
00:37:28,476 --> 00:37:32,852
but in japan, a lot of Japanese
go to a very famous takeaway
707
00:37:32,877 --> 00:37:35,241
for buckets of chicken
Christmas Day.
708
00:37:35,266 --> 00:37:37,622
Are you basing it on that, Jamie?
709
00:37:40,837 --> 00:37:44,261
Good luck, then, Jamie.
Thank you.
710
00:37:44,286 --> 00:37:47,762
There is one baker who's chosen
to present their fake turkey cake
711
00:37:47,787 --> 00:37:49,602
in a classic style.
712
00:37:58,197 --> 00:38:01,602
Pulling out all the stops,
Rosie's turkey centrepiece
713
00:38:01,627 --> 00:38:04,092
will come with burnt
Basque cheesecake Yorkshire puds,
714
00:38:04,117 --> 00:38:06,172
two types of veg and double spuds,
715
00:38:06,197 --> 00:38:08,812
with caramelised sponge
roast potatoes
716
00:38:08,837 --> 00:38:11,532
and champagne and
white cacao mousse mash.
717
00:38:11,557 --> 00:38:14,121
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you have
mashed potato and roast potato?
718
00:38:14,146 --> 00:38:16,172
Double carb? Ditto!
719
00:38:16,197 --> 00:38:18,612
Really? You'll have mash
and roast potatoes?
720
00:38:18,637 --> 00:38:21,012
Is there anything
that's not beige on your plate?
721
00:38:21,037 --> 00:38:23,571
Excuse me, this is about
Rosie's illusion piece.
722
00:38:23,596 --> 00:38:25,932
Sorry, I was distracted
by so many carbohydrates.
723
00:38:25,957 --> 00:38:28,451
I started putting on weight just
at the mention of so many of them.
724
00:38:28,476 --> 00:38:31,092
Right, good luck, then, Rosie. Look
forward to it.
725
00:38:31,117 --> 00:38:32,402
Ooh, cake timer.
726
00:38:32,427 --> 00:38:35,042
Right. Going to come out
with the cake.
727
00:38:35,067 --> 00:38:37,402
Yep, they're nice,
they're just dry enough on the top.
728
00:38:37,427 --> 00:38:39,732
Just let them cool a bit,
then I'll tip them out.
729
00:38:39,757 --> 00:38:42,121
They are looking OK.
730
00:38:43,317 --> 00:38:45,121
Oh, yeah.
731
00:38:45,146 --> 00:38:46,812
MATT: The sponges may be done,
732
00:38:46,837 --> 00:38:49,172
but in this most complex
of challenges,
733
00:38:49,197 --> 00:38:52,571
the bakers have multiple
illusion elements to create.
734
00:38:52,596 --> 00:38:54,201
Are my spuds done?
735
00:38:54,226 --> 00:38:55,842
I'm going to fry these churros.
736
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:58,292
Smells like fish and chips,
doesn't it?
737
00:38:58,317 --> 00:38:59,812
HE CHUCKLES
738
00:39:04,507 --> 00:39:06,172
Hi, Ruby.
739
00:39:20,867 --> 00:39:24,292
MATT: Made of cardamom sponge
and Swiss meringue buttercream,
740
00:39:24,317 --> 00:39:27,732
Ruby's cereal bowl will be topped
with white chocolate spaghetti
741
00:39:27,757 --> 00:39:30,092
and dark chocolate
truffle meatballs.
742
00:39:30,117 --> 00:39:33,012
It'll come with chocolate ganache,
shortbread slop tarts
743
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:35,612
and a rice puff elf hat
for good measure.
744
00:39:42,557 --> 00:39:44,331
OK, thank you very much, Ruby.
745
00:39:44,356 --> 00:39:45,842
I'm making two different batches
746
00:39:45,867 --> 00:39:47,694
of salted brandy truffles
at the moment.
747
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,470
The dark chocolate
will be the sprouts.
748
00:39:49,495 --> 00:39:51,800
I do like sprouts. I actually do.
749
00:39:51,825 --> 00:39:54,160
I've got white chocolate ganache
with peppermint in.
750
00:39:54,185 --> 00:39:55,930
Get it cooled,
and then melon-ball it
751
00:39:55,955 --> 00:39:57,470
into little Brussel sprouts shapes.
752
00:39:57,495 --> 00:39:58,910
This is for the sweetcorn.
753
00:39:58,935 --> 00:40:01,359
What do you think Prue Leith
has for Christmas dinner?
754
00:40:01,384 --> 00:40:03,359
I reckon there's ham,
turkey and beef.
755
00:40:03,384 --> 00:40:04,720
Ham, turkey AND beef?
756
00:40:04,745 --> 00:40:06,600
When you say beef,
do you just mean an argument?
757
00:40:06,625 --> 00:40:08,109
I don't know, Prue's pretty tame.
758
00:40:08,134 --> 00:40:10,160
If she had beef with you, Jamie,
you'd know about it.
759
00:40:10,185 --> 00:40:12,520
She's got Paul on her side -
he's got very stocky legs.
760
00:40:12,545 --> 00:40:14,960
He walks like he's just got
off a horse. No comment.
761
00:40:25,705 --> 00:40:28,880
Bakers... You... ..are...
762
00:40:28,905 --> 00:40:32,520
...half... ..way... ..through!
763
00:40:35,214 --> 00:40:38,189
It is like Christmas Day.
You've got just as much to do.
764
00:40:38,214 --> 00:40:40,800
Time to ice this bad boy.
HE CHUCKLES
765
00:40:40,825 --> 00:40:44,680
This festive feast illusion cake,
I think they have to be
766
00:40:44,705 --> 00:40:48,700
very, very, very creative
and artistic to get it right.
767
00:40:48,725 --> 00:40:53,100
You need quite a firm sponge
to carve. There is a lot of turkey.
768
00:40:53,125 --> 00:40:54,900
They've all chosen a variety
of different things,
769
00:40:54,925 --> 00:40:57,850
from spaghetti, meatballs,
we've actually got a full roast.
770
00:41:00,404 --> 00:41:03,490
We've got a bucket of fried turkey.
771
00:41:09,315 --> 00:41:11,540
I'm going to put a fondant over it.
772
00:41:12,675 --> 00:41:14,980
This is raw turkey skin.
773
00:41:15,005 --> 00:41:17,389
Good, I'm quite pleased with it.
774
00:41:17,414 --> 00:41:20,030
It's not going to win any
competitions in a beauty contest.
775
00:41:20,055 --> 00:41:21,620
It just needs
a bit of make-up on it.
776
00:41:21,645 --> 00:41:24,209
How good are they going to look,
this is the thing.
777
00:41:24,234 --> 00:41:25,980
You know, the illusion
has got to look like
778
00:41:26,005 --> 00:41:27,339
what they're setting out to do.
779
00:41:27,364 --> 00:41:28,490
Nice spuds.
780
00:41:28,515 --> 00:41:30,290
Later, I'll give them
a little brush with butter,
781
00:41:30,315 --> 00:41:31,750
make them a little bit darker.
782
00:41:31,775 --> 00:41:34,100
They look pretty good, don't they?
Chips.
783
00:41:34,125 --> 00:41:35,670
I think they're going
to feel the pressure.
784
00:41:35,695 --> 00:41:38,339
Certainly, it's going to matter
for at least three of the bakers
785
00:41:38,364 --> 00:41:39,930
today to see who's going to win.
786
00:41:39,955 --> 00:41:42,339
Kind of want it a bit marbled,
a bit like ham is.
787
00:41:42,364 --> 00:41:44,650
Jamie, do you want a top-up on your
tan while I've got the brown out?
788
00:41:44,675 --> 00:41:45,980
HE LAUGHS
789
00:41:46,005 --> 00:41:47,209
Jealousy's ugly, Jame;
790
00:41:48,364 --> 00:41:51,290
It's Christmas.
We'll leave them alone now
791
00:41:51,315 --> 00:41:54,290
and see what they can come up with.
792
00:41:54,315 --> 00:41:56,620
This is for my elf hat.
793
00:41:56,645 --> 00:41:58,930
It's become like a melty mess.
794
00:41:58,955 --> 00:42:01,259
This is Swiss meringue.
795
00:42:01,284 --> 00:42:03,860
This will make my champagne
and white chocolate mousse,
796
00:42:03,885 --> 00:42:05,259
which is mashed potato.
797
00:42:05,284 --> 00:42:07,259
I'm confusing myself so much
at the moment.
798
00:42:07,284 --> 00:42:09,540
This is my chocolate mousse
milkshake.
799
00:42:10,565 --> 00:42:12,860
Not on my rec...
Oh, it is on my recipe.
800
00:42:12,885 --> 00:42:14,930
That's a nightmare, that is.
801
00:42:14,955 --> 00:42:18,110
Bakers, you have one hour left.
One hour!
802
00:42:18,135 --> 00:42:19,820
It's getting serious now.
803
00:42:23,164 --> 00:42:24,540
JAMES: It's going to be tight.
804
00:42:24,565 --> 00:42:26,540
Now, that's a proper
Yorkshire pudding.
805
00:42:26,565 --> 00:42:29,540
I think I'm happy with these
cheesecakes. Yeah, they'll do.
806
00:42:29,565 --> 00:42:31,980
Um, uh...somewhere to put them.
807
00:42:32,005 --> 00:42:34,290
Pink ketchup. I think
Prue will prefer it that colour,
808
00:42:34,315 --> 00:42:35,180
it'll look less fake.
809
00:42:37,565 --> 00:42:40,259
You are the only person in here
who's been a star baker,
810
00:42:40,284 --> 00:42:42,650
and the only person here
who's made it to the final.
811
00:42:42,675 --> 00:42:43,780
WHISPERS:
812
00:42:43,805 --> 00:42:45,750
So you've got to be
the favourite today.
813
00:42:45,775 --> 00:42:48,110
You can't be flapping.
814
00:42:48,135 --> 00:42:49,980
All right, the carrots are done.
815
00:42:50,005 --> 00:42:52,370
Now on to making my peas.
816
00:42:52,395 --> 00:42:54,139
I'm making potatoes.
817
00:42:54,164 --> 00:42:56,110
It's nice when you finish
the little elements.
818
00:42:56,135 --> 00:42:58,540
They're really little tiny things,
but then they're done.
819
00:43:01,775 --> 00:43:04,110
Now I'm going to carve
a drumstick shape.
820
00:43:04,135 --> 00:43:06,420
Noticing that about you -
obsessed with fried poultry.
821
00:43:06,445 --> 00:43:07,580
That looks really good,
822
00:43:07,605 --> 00:43:09,940
and I know the Colonel
would be delighted with that.
823
00:43:09,965 --> 00:43:12,290
If only he'd share with his
recipe with you, but he will not.
824
00:43:12,315 --> 00:43:14,650
It's a secret recipe.
It's a secret recipe.
825
00:43:14,675 --> 00:43:17,370
But it is...finger-licking good.
Mm.
826
00:43:20,494 --> 00:43:23,139
Bakers, you have 30 minutes left.
827
00:43:23,164 --> 00:43:25,469
Imagine having only half an hour.
828
00:43:27,885 --> 00:43:29,139
Panic time.
829
00:43:34,575 --> 00:43:37,650
What would Christmas Day be
without a surprise?
830
00:43:37,675 --> 00:43:39,940
And James has one for the judges.
831
00:43:39,965 --> 00:43:41,139
So I've also hid a real sprout,
832
00:43:41,164 --> 00:43:43,500
and I've just dipped it
in the chocolate as well,
833
00:43:43,525 --> 00:43:46,139
so hopefully I'll be able to sneak
it in and they won't spot it.
834
00:43:46,164 --> 00:43:49,060
This is for the sweetcorn.
I'm going to give it some grooves.
835
00:43:49,085 --> 00:43:52,730
Rosie, for a vegetarian, you've done
pretty well at making a meat feast.
836
00:43:54,525 --> 00:43:56,550
Then it just suggests to me
837
00:43:56,575 --> 00:43:58,910
that maybe you've been lying
about being a vegetarian.
838
00:43:58,935 --> 00:44:00,830
Everyone likes
a turkey-flavoured cake.
839
00:44:00,855 --> 00:44:03,339
Don't leave us alone. Don't leave us
alone with it, Rosie, we'll eat it.
840
00:44:03,364 --> 00:44:06,370
It's now the bakers must
complete their magic act...
841
00:44:08,164 --> 00:44:10,500
...pulling off an illusion
that tricks the judges
842
00:44:10,525 --> 00:44:14,219
into thinking their Christmas feasts
are anything but cake.
843
00:44:15,325 --> 00:44:16,910
Lots of focus now.
844
00:44:16,935 --> 00:44:18,370
It smells delicious.
845
00:44:18,395 --> 00:44:20,730
JAMIE: Yeah, they look all right.
Yeah, I'm happy with that.
846
00:44:20,755 --> 00:44:23,339
ROSIE: Have I got everything?
This is my massive paranoia.
847
00:44:25,855 --> 00:44:29,060
I literally can't remember
which one's the real Brussel.
848
00:44:29,085 --> 00:44:30,450
I reckon it's that one.
849
00:44:30,475 --> 00:44:34,370
Little sticker to put on the side,
Bake Off Bucket and Fried Turkey.
850
00:44:34,395 --> 00:44:37,219
ROSIE: I need to season,
season things, and gravy.
851
00:44:38,725 --> 00:44:41,910
Sprouts, Brussels, carrots, peas,
Yorkie puds, gravy.
852
00:44:41,935 --> 00:44:44,269
You can't skimp
for a Christmas dinner.
853
00:44:44,294 --> 00:44:48,019
I don't have fried chicken on
Christmas Day. That would be stupid.
854
00:44:48,044 --> 00:44:51,060
I've just got to pour my gravy.
I think that's it.
855
00:44:55,164 --> 00:44:57,810
Bakers, your time is up.
856
00:44:58,965 --> 00:45:02,660
Please step away
from your showstoppers.
857
00:45:02,685 --> 00:45:04,269
A little bit messy,
but I'm pretty happy.
858
00:45:04,294 --> 00:45:06,190
HE CHUCKLES
859
00:45:15,615 --> 00:45:20,019
It's judgment time for the bakers'
festive illusion cakes.
860
00:45:20,044 --> 00:45:21,260
James...
861
00:45:21,285 --> 00:45:23,870
Would you like to bring up
your Showstopper, please?
862
00:45:32,124 --> 00:45:34,510
PAUL: It's very elegant, actually.
It's very clever.
863
00:45:34,535 --> 00:45:37,940
It's remarkable to make my brain
think that that is cake.
864
00:45:37,965 --> 00:45:41,019
The Yorkshires are very authentic.
Yeah, they're very clever.
865
00:45:41,044 --> 00:45:44,149
I think you've done a really good
job with it. It has that wow factor.
866
00:45:44,174 --> 00:45:46,590
Let's have a slice of ham, please.
867
00:45:49,174 --> 00:45:51,710
So, it's basically chocolate
and cola?
868
00:45:58,254 --> 00:46:00,820
I think that's very good, James.
869
00:46:00,845 --> 00:46:05,380
It's probably got a bit too much
buttercream. It's very rich.
870
00:46:05,405 --> 00:46:09,790
It's quite dense, the cake, but it's
very clever. It ticks all the boxes.
871
00:46:09,815 --> 00:46:11,790
The Yorkshires are just
like Yorkshire pudding.
872
00:46:11,815 --> 00:46:14,180
And it is a batter, isn't it?
873
00:46:14,205 --> 00:46:15,590
Spices.
874
00:46:17,565 --> 00:46:22,620
Yeah, it works. What are these
again? Mm.
875
00:46:22,645 --> 00:46:26,340
They're almost like marzipan.
They're so rich.
876
00:46:26,365 --> 00:46:28,710
I love that flavour. Mm, I do.
877
00:46:28,735 --> 00:46:30,149
What's the sprouts made of?
878
00:46:37,645 --> 00:46:38,670
I have.
879
00:46:38,695 --> 00:46:41,099
THEY LAUGH
880
00:46:42,205 --> 00:46:44,740
It was Russian roulette Brussels!
881
00:46:44,765 --> 00:46:47,790
I mean, that is so clever.
882
00:46:47,815 --> 00:46:50,099
THEY LAUGH
883
00:46:50,124 --> 00:46:53,460
I think that's revenge
for last time.
884
00:46:53,485 --> 00:46:55,820
I think you've done a good job
there.
885
00:46:55,845 --> 00:46:59,340
Really good job. Well done, James.
886
00:46:59,365 --> 00:47:02,380
Merry Christmas to you.
887
00:47:02,405 --> 00:47:04,430
Nice one, James.
888
00:47:06,895 --> 00:47:08,670
It does look amazing.
889
00:47:15,174 --> 00:47:16,820
It's clever, it's clever.
890
00:47:16,845 --> 00:47:20,180
It's very clever and it's very witty
and it's unusual.
891
00:47:20,205 --> 00:47:22,870
It just has to taste good now.
892
00:47:24,975 --> 00:47:27,229
What sponge did you use for this?
893
00:47:33,645 --> 00:47:36,149
That sponge is lovely.
The sponge is delicious.
894
00:47:36,174 --> 00:47:39,310
Perfect. It's a nice cake, actually,
blended together.
895
00:47:39,335 --> 00:47:41,870
These biscuits look good.
896
00:47:41,895 --> 00:47:44,700
Breaking very easily.
897
00:47:44,725 --> 00:47:48,620
They're really nice. The chocolate's
just soft enough.
898
00:47:48,645 --> 00:47:51,310
Biscuits are beautiful. It's very
delicate and melts in the mouth.
899
00:47:51,335 --> 00:47:53,620
Clever. What's the spaghetti like?
900
00:47:53,645 --> 00:47:55,979
It's strange, cos it's
quite rubbery, isn't it?
901
00:47:56,004 --> 00:47:58,820
Actually, the spaghetti melts
in your mouth. It's fine.
902
00:47:58,845 --> 00:48:01,390
Do you know, Ruby, I think
you've done a fantastic job.
903
00:48:01,415 --> 00:48:03,820
Your baking is terrific.
904
00:48:03,845 --> 00:48:06,510
Overall, you've come up
with some really neat ideas.
905
00:48:06,535 --> 00:48:09,979
Very good. Thank you. Thanks
Well done.
906
00:48:21,174 --> 00:48:24,149
It does look like fried turkey.
Big lumps of turkey.
907
00:48:24,174 --> 00:48:26,029
Big lumps of it, yeah. Slabs.
908
00:48:29,645 --> 00:48:31,870
That's rather impressive, isn't it?
909
00:48:33,725 --> 00:48:36,510
A bit thick, that fondant
round the edge.
910
00:48:42,054 --> 00:48:43,390
It's odd for me to say this,
911
00:48:43,415 --> 00:48:45,750
cos there's so much buttercream
and icing,
912
00:48:45,775 --> 00:48:48,149
but the cake itself
is not very sweet at all.
913
00:48:48,174 --> 00:48:51,590
Quite bitter, isn't it?
Yeah.
914
00:48:51,615 --> 00:48:54,420
No.
It's not bad.
915
00:48:54,445 --> 00:48:57,620
It's not a bad cake. It's just...
It's bitter, which I didn't expect.
916
00:48:57,645 --> 00:49:00,180
The churros actually
look like churros.
917
00:49:00,205 --> 00:49:03,510
Rather than chips. You should have
had a smooth piping nozzle.
918
00:49:03,535 --> 00:49:06,870
I can't resist them.
They are the most delicious things.
919
00:49:06,895 --> 00:49:08,750
I liked yours. And the mousse...
920
00:49:08,775 --> 00:49:11,420
This is a very strange
Christmas feast.
921
00:49:13,725 --> 00:49:15,590
Oh, I love that.
922
00:49:15,615 --> 00:49:18,029
Yeah, it's very good.
923
00:49:18,054 --> 00:49:19,510
I think it's a clever design,
924
00:49:19,535 --> 00:49:22,140
and you did complete what you said
you were going to do.
925
00:49:30,215 --> 00:49:32,779
It's astonishing. It's incredible.
926
00:49:32,804 --> 00:49:35,700
You see a lot of novelty cakes
out there, and this qualifies
927
00:49:35,725 --> 00:49:37,700
as some of the professional levels.
928
00:49:37,725 --> 00:49:40,260
This is really, really good.
929
00:49:40,285 --> 00:49:42,229
Some of the best illusion stuff
we've seen in the tent.
930
00:49:42,254 --> 00:49:44,870
I think it's wonderful.
I love the Yorkshire cheesecakes
931
00:49:44,895 --> 00:49:46,670
and, do you know what,
I can't help myself,
932
00:49:46,695 --> 00:49:48,550
I just want this
to be mash and gravy.
933
00:49:48,575 --> 00:49:51,550
THEY LAUGH
934
00:49:51,575 --> 00:49:52,899
It's delicious as mousse.
935
00:49:52,924 --> 00:49:55,830
It is amazing, cos you do think
it's going to be mash.
936
00:49:57,445 --> 00:49:59,340
Oh, it's lovely.
937
00:50:04,495 --> 00:50:06,140
Oh, beautiful. Look at that.
938
00:50:06,165 --> 00:50:08,750
They're beautifully neat.
939
00:50:08,775 --> 00:50:11,620
You seem to have a similar
consistency all the way through.
940
00:50:16,525 --> 00:50:18,550
The citrus flavours
that you've got in there,
941
00:50:18,575 --> 00:50:21,229
that orange really lifts it.
It's quite a light sponge as well,
942
00:50:21,254 --> 00:50:24,109
isn't it? There's not too much
of the sugar paste on the outside,
943
00:50:24,134 --> 00:50:25,830
which is nice. It's neat.
944
00:50:25,855 --> 00:50:28,140
I really think the texture
is absolutely lovely,
945
00:50:28,165 --> 00:50:29,500
and I love the buttercream.
946
00:50:29,525 --> 00:50:31,109
I want to try this cheesecake.
947
00:50:35,134 --> 00:50:37,109
It's lovely.
948
00:50:37,134 --> 00:50:39,620
Amazing job.
Really, I can't fault it.
949
00:50:39,645 --> 00:50:41,979
If I'm going to be really picky,
the Brussels sprouts don't really
950
00:50:42,004 --> 00:50:43,979
look like Brussels sprouts.
The colours are wrong.
951
00:50:44,004 --> 00:50:45,420
But the overall look, and the gravy
952
00:50:45,445 --> 00:50:48,979
and the mash and the turkey -
superb. A big success.
953
00:50:49,004 --> 00:50:51,750
Terrific success. Thanks very much,
indeed. Well done.
954
00:50:51,775 --> 00:50:53,550
Well done, Rosie.
955
00:50:57,934 --> 00:51:00,310
Forgot this, too.
956
00:51:02,335 --> 00:51:03,950
APPLAUSE
957
00:51:09,804 --> 00:51:11,500
I've not done that before.
958
00:51:13,525 --> 00:51:15,109
Well done, bakers.
959
00:51:15,134 --> 00:51:17,550
Now, if you want to step outside,
we're all going to sit down
960
00:51:17,575 --> 00:51:19,420
and talk about you
behind your back.
961
00:51:21,884 --> 00:51:23,220
CHEERING
962
00:51:23,245 --> 00:51:25,060
Here to witness
the Star Baker announcement
963
00:51:25,085 --> 00:51:28,909
are a limited number of friends
and family for cake and bubbly
964
00:51:28,934 --> 00:51:31,670
in their socially-distanced bubbles.
965
00:51:38,215 --> 00:51:39,470
I'm chuffed with that.
966
00:51:39,495 --> 00:51:43,500
There were some mixed comments
but there was nothing horrendous.
967
00:51:43,525 --> 00:51:45,909
Think Prue warmed up a bit.
968
00:51:45,934 --> 00:51:48,909
She didn't say anything bad
about the way it looked, really.
969
00:51:48,934 --> 00:51:52,390
Fantastic judging. Lovely
comments from both Paul and Prue.
970
00:51:52,415 --> 00:51:54,859
I love that Prue got
the real Brussels sprout.
971
00:51:54,884 --> 00:51:57,630
Payback after a full season
of Bake Off.
972
00:52:19,145 --> 00:52:23,090
Well, well, well. 'Tis the season
to be jolly, and we have been jolly.
973
00:52:23,115 --> 00:52:25,450
We have.
I'm now feeling slightly sick.
974
00:52:25,475 --> 00:52:27,759
Well, you did eat a lot.
You really gorged yourself there.
975
00:52:27,784 --> 00:52:29,009
I did. I did.
976
00:52:35,755 --> 00:52:38,090
So, who's in the lead here?
Who's in the running?
977
00:52:43,065 --> 00:52:45,970
I thought Ruby
has a really good chance.
978
00:52:52,555 --> 00:52:55,939
You know, even Jamie...
979
00:52:55,964 --> 00:52:58,759
I know Jamie won't make Star Baker,
but the truth is that
980
00:52:58,784 --> 00:53:01,300
if you look at that lot,
it's all worth the calories.
981
00:53:01,325 --> 00:53:03,330
Well, there's only one Star Baker,
982
00:53:03,355 --> 00:53:06,860
but there's also one star presenter.
983
00:53:06,885 --> 00:53:10,050
And that is dear Tom Allen, who
so kindly joined us. Thank you, Tom.
984
00:53:10,075 --> 00:53:12,009
Oh... Well, it was my pleasure.
985
00:53:12,034 --> 00:53:15,220
There was no room at the inn, so
they said, "There's a tent round
986
00:53:15,245 --> 00:53:18,250
"the back. Would you like to go
and present there?"
987
00:53:18,275 --> 00:53:20,840
I have, haven't I?
988
00:53:20,865 --> 00:53:23,450
I've been like a delicious
buttercream. Not as tasty as Noel.
989
00:53:23,475 --> 00:53:25,250
No, I'm not as tasty as Noel.
You're right.
990
00:53:25,275 --> 00:53:28,250
I'm a bitter bit of cake,
and I don't mind that.
991
00:53:33,034 --> 00:53:34,809
CHEERING
992
00:53:44,115 --> 00:53:47,660
Bakers, thanks so much
for returning to the tent.
993
00:53:47,685 --> 00:53:50,250
You've all been amazing
but, of course,
994
00:53:50,275 --> 00:53:52,580
there can only be one winner.
995
00:53:52,605 --> 00:53:56,410
So it is my pleasure to announce
that the winner
996
00:53:56,435 --> 00:53:59,580
of The Great Christmas Bake Off
is...
997
00:54:06,685 --> 00:54:08,370
...Rosie!
998
00:54:08,395 --> 00:54:09,889
CHEERING
999
00:54:13,755 --> 00:54:18,130
I can't really believe it, to be
honest. I'm so happy, so happy.
1000
00:54:18,155 --> 00:54:20,840
It's just the perfect end
to a lovely couple of days.
1001
00:54:20,865 --> 00:54:22,410
PRUE:
1002
00:54:22,435 --> 00:54:24,840
A round of applause
for all of our bakers.
1003
00:54:38,964 --> 00:54:44,170
# Silent Night
1004
00:54:44,195 --> 00:54:49,559
# Holy night
1005
00:54:49,584 --> 00:54:54,769
# All is calm
1006
00:54:54,794 --> 00:54:56,450
# And all is bright... #
1007
00:55:00,945 --> 00:55:04,740
# Round yon virgin... #
1008
00:55:04,765 --> 00:55:06,769
Paul and Prue were actually
really nice to me!
1009
00:55:06,794 --> 00:55:09,490
Turns out there can be miracles
at Christmas after all.
1010
00:55:11,044 --> 00:55:14,850
# Holy infant
1011
00:55:14,875 --> 00:55:20,250
# So tender and mild... #
1012
00:55:20,275 --> 00:55:23,100
A great Christmas Bake Off and,
actually, the standard has been
1013
00:55:23,125 --> 00:55:24,850
excellent all the way through.
1014
00:55:24,875 --> 00:55:28,250
And even Jamie got better and better
coming into the Showstopper.
1015
00:55:28,275 --> 00:55:31,610
# Peace... #
1016
00:55:31,635 --> 00:55:34,210
I'm feeling really happy
and I'm really happy for Rosie.
1017
00:55:34,235 --> 00:55:36,559
She definitely deserved it.
Definitely feel proud of myself,
1018
00:55:36,584 --> 00:55:38,850
cos I managed to get invited back.
1019
00:55:38,875 --> 00:55:40,769
Been a pleasure, been my pleasure
1020
00:55:40,794 --> 00:55:44,490
to be invited back in and
to be part of Christmas Special.
1021
00:55:45,765 --> 00:55:48,410
# Said silent
1022
00:55:48,435 --> 00:55:51,210
# Silent night
1023
00:55:51,235 --> 00:55:53,970
# Holy... #
1024
00:56:08,685 --> 00:56:13,019
# Sleep in heavenly... #
1025
00:56:13,044 --> 00:56:14,460
It's lovely to get the bakers
back in the tent
1026
00:56:14,485 --> 00:56:17,280
and I hope it'll put a smile
on everybody's faces.
1027
00:56:17,305 --> 00:56:19,050
Merry Christmas.
1028
00:56:19,075 --> 00:56:23,019
# ..peace. #
1029
00:56:23,044 --> 00:56:25,250
CHEERING
1030
00:56:29,635 --> 00:56:30,889
Next time...
1031
00:56:30,914 --> 00:56:33,210
I woke up this morning and
I just felt physically sick.
1032
00:56:33,235 --> 00:56:34,970
...we're celebrating the New Year...
1033
00:56:34,995 --> 00:56:37,280
I've come back to haunt you.
1034
00:56:37,305 --> 00:56:39,019
...with a festive baking frenzy...
1035
00:56:39,044 --> 00:56:41,460
I recommend you use
something called an oven.
1036
00:56:41,485 --> 00:56:43,290
...taking on a fruity Signature...
1037
00:56:43,315 --> 00:56:45,660
I'm just having a squeeze
of your plums.
1038
00:56:45,685 --> 00:56:47,639
...a street-food Technical...
1039
00:56:47,664 --> 00:56:50,100
...and a Showstopper
for a big birthday.
1040
00:56:50,125 --> 00:56:52,490
My 21st was in 1975.
1041
00:56:52,515 --> 00:56:55,889
Who will be the first
Star Baker of 2021?
1042
00:56:55,914 --> 00:56:57,490
It's harder than it looks, actually.
1043
00:56:57,515 --> 00:56:58,689
PFFT!
1044
00:57:22,435 --> 00:57:24,649
