1
00:00:01,340 --> 00:00:03,840
Sandi, We've Got to Get Back to the Future!
OK...

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,239
But first, you gotta dress
like Marty McFly!

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,279
That's pretty much
how I dress anyway. To the car!

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,319
Why are we going back to the future?

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,439
Is something terrible
about to happen? Terrible!

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,679
Is Donald Trump getting
that peace prize?

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,999
It's worse. No! Are One Direction
getting back together?

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,519
It's worse than that.

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,959
Oh, no! Yeah!

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,359
Prue's about to tweet the name
of this year's winner!

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,439
What are you doing, Prue?

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,359
We've got to get back to the future!

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,839
It's a really peaceful,
lovely place.

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,159
I just wish I felt peaceful inside!

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,319
It is very nerve-racking.

16
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,679
Not as stressful as writing
my thesis, but quite there.

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,599
It's just completely surreal
to be here.

18
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,839
It's the tent, like the actual tent.

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,399
The Bake Off tent.

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,919
More people have been in space
than been in that tent.

21
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,559
It's the ultimate.

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,559
This is like being
a professional footballer

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,279
and playing at Wembley
in t'FA Cup Final.

24
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:25,599
It's crazy, though.

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,199
This is something
you've seen on TV

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,879
and thinking, actually, this is...
It's quite real.

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,799
12 new bakers...

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,599
I believe that
I'm gonna be good under pressure.

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,839
Ha!

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,479
Very close to a heart attack.

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,559
Very close.

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,279
..30 brand-new challenges

33
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,679
set by judges
Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679
I'm really excited to be back.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,319
I know what to expect now.

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,839
I will be a bit tougher this year.

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,959
I would like to see
more imagination,

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,479
more colour and, above all,
more delicious things to eat.

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,439
Prue and I have set
some pretty awesome challenges.

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,999
Some they would have
heard of before,

41
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,679
some they definitely have not.

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,919
I cannot wait to get started.

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,639
I'm quite creative,
I love the unusual.

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,239
The competitive part of me wants
to see how good I actually am.

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,599
Could be out in week one, who knows?

46
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,159
I love being a stay-at-home parent,

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,599
but sometimes you don't get
to feel successful.

48
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:21,159
If I could get Star Baker once,
I could leave here very, very happy.

49
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,799
In 2018, who will win
the Great British Bake Off?

50
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:30,839
Happy!

51
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,959
We're back at
the home of the Bake Off -

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,599
Welford Park in Berkshire.

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,399
Its biscuit week,
and over the next two days,

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,479
the bakers will face
three challenges,

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,359
after which one of them
will be named our first Star Baker

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,479
and another will be asked to leave.

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,719
Hello, bakers.

58
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,159
Welcome, for the very first time,
to the Bake Off tent

59
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,959
and your first ever
Signature Challenge.

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,319
The judges would love you
to make 24 regional biscuits.

61
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,199
Hilarious!
Biscuits with funny accents.

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Yeah, no, they don't have to speak,
they just have to be

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,799
traditional to a town,
village or region in Britain.

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,399
They can be sweet or savoury, you
know, depending on their history.

65
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,399
But the biscuits
must mean something to you.

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,399
For example, if it was Sandi,
she'd probably choose shortbread.

67
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,839
Yeah. Don't start,
it's the first day.

68
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,839
OK! So your biscuits need to be
uniform

69
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,719
and identical across the batch,
but with your own unique take.

70
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,199
You have two hours.

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,079
On your marks, get set, bake!

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,999
Oh, I cannot believe we are here.

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,719
Oven, oven, oven.
Turn the oven on.

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,639
This year, we're kicking off
with biscuits - not cakes.

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,199
Now, that's slightly unusual
for the Great British Bake Off.

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,239
But don't kid yourselves, biscuits
are difficult to make properly.

77
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,399
In you go.

78
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,919
We're asking them
to create something

79
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,239
that's a regional speciality.

80
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,079
Something that celebrates
the bakers themselves.

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,359
Something that's unique.

82
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,599
The difficult thing for these bakers
is that, although we want them to

83
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,279
put their own stamp on this biscuit,
it still must be recognisable.

84
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,119
So, if they tell us
it's a shortbread,

85
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,679
then it should be melt in the mouth.

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,439
If they tell us that's it's
a ginger snap, it should snap.

87
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,639
I'm looking for regional perfection.

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Good morning. Hello.
Hello, Briony. Hi.

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,679
Do you feel nervous?
Yeah, a little bit.

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,559
Tell us about
your regional biscuit.

91
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,159
I'm making Empire biscuits, which
are regional to Northern Ireland

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,039
and Scotland,
which is where my family's from.

93
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,839
But I'm giving them a Bristol twist,
which is where I'm from.

94
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,199
So, it turns out Bristol
doesn't have a regional biscuit.

95
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,119
But now Bristol will have
a regional biscuit?

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,639
Briony - a full-time mum
to two-year-old Norah

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,319
and puppy, Archie -
took up baking five years ago.

98
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,719
For that Bristol touch,
she's using apple cider jam,

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,519
instead of traditional raspberry,
between her vanilla shortbreads.

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,639
And what's that in the pan?

101
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,319
So, I'm boiling some eggs for my...

102
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,839
for my biscuits. Boiled eggs?

103
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,439
Just the yolks, which you sieve into
the dough itself and it gives them

104
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,839
a really short structure.
Have you tried it without? Yeah.

105
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,199
Oh, I haven't tried it without,

106
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,279
but... Well...
So, you don't know the difference?

107
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,639
No, but I've never heard of that.
Don't start straight away.

108
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,839
I'm just asking a question.

109
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,719
She's just arrived.
It sounds lovely, Briony.

110
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,039
Thank you very much. Thank you.

111
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,439
Don't let him do anything to you.

112
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,639
Like Briony, most of
the bakers are basing their biscuits

113
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,719
on shortbread.

114
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,479
I'm making lemon Shrewsbury.

115
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,119
It's a very rich, crumbly biscuit.

116
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,039
This works every time at home.

117
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,279
Like, it's never gone wrong

118
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,119
so I don't really know
why I'm panicking.

119
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,999
Stay-at-home dad Dan took up
baking to lavish his children,

120
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,599
Barnaby and Constance,
with tasty treats.

121
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,719
Yay! We have fish.

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,279
His sandwich biscuit,
featuring strawberry jam,

123
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,639
is a family favourite.

124
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,039
Hello. Hello. How are you?
I'm all right, I'm all right.

125
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,839
That doesn't sound
like you're all right.

126
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,839
No. Sort of panicking
a bit, but you know...

127
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,999
Is baking your chill time?
Yeah.

128
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,119
And you've now turned it
into a nightmare. Yeah.

129
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,319
But you have entered
a competition!

130
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,319
It is my own fault.
Sort of your own fault!

131
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,719
You're on
the Great British Bake Off.

132
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,439
Our next baker is using
an ingredient

133
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,599
they hope will deliver perfect
melt-in-the-mouth shortbread.

134
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,279
Clotted cream.

135
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,959
I love cream. Oh, yummy!

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,039
Mum was like, "No, it's too..."
You know, "Don't eat it."

137
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,039
And then when I came to England
and they were like,

138
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,639
"Oh, I'm just gonna spread some
cream on the top of my scone,"

139
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,399
I was like,
"Yeah, this is a thing!"

140
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,599
Londoner Manon grew up in France
on her family's egg farm,

141
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,399
where she began baking aged three.

142
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,199
She's bringing Gallic flare
to her Cornish shortbread

143
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,239
with hazelnuts and chocolate.

144
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,079
I'm from Brittany in France, and
Cornwall really reminds me of home,

145
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,759
so I had to do it.

146
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,719
For her clotted cream shortbread,
Ruby is ripping up the rule book.

147
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,999
I am making some
masala chai Devon flats.

148
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,839
I'm using a cream substitute.

149
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,399
I know it goes against the whole
Devon clotted cream business.

150
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,399
I hope that doesn't come
and bite me in the bum,

151
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,119
because it was fine at home.

152
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,559
As well as knockout bakes,
project manager Ruby

153
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,919
likes to pack a punch in the ring.

154
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,319
I need a break.

155
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,559
She's hoping a killer combo
of cardamom, clove and cinnamon

156
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,839
will floor the judges.

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,639
What sort of texture
are we looking at?

158
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,279
Are they gonna break,
crack, crumble?

159
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,079
They'll be in between.
Soft, medium. Medium...

160
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,679
You're winging this, aren't you?

161
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,319
How many times have you
actually made this?

162
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,999
They've been soft, medium and hard.

163
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,079
Erm, I have practised it
a lot actually. Right.

164
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,519
I'm not winging it, I swear.

165
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,239
Whatever texture
they're aiming for...

166
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,319
Want quite a snap on the biscuit.

167
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,799
..overload their dough with
flavours... Ah! ..or colours...

168
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,799
Beautiful.
..and it will radically alter

169
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,639
the bite of their finished biscuits.

170
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,959
In India, we have quite a lot
of home-made sweets

171
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,679
with coconut and fennel.

172
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,479
So, I'm just going to combine
both of those two flavours

173
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,039
in my biscuit, and my mum
really likes this biscuit.

174
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,919
So, in Calcutta,
my family's still there,

175
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,959
and I came to the UK about seven
years ago to do PhD in Loughborough.

176
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,839
Do I need to get comfortable?

177
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,439
Yeah, I love to talk,
as you probably realise.

178
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,559
Rahul, a nuclear scientist,

179
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,959
Skypes his mum and dad
back home every day.

180
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,119
Baking three big biscuits,
which will cut into 24,

181
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,359
Rahul's fusing
Indian and Scottish flavours.

182
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,319
There is nothing
that should be overpowering.

183
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,319
You should taste shortbread,
but there should be a hint of

184
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,039
coconut and a hint of fennel behind.

185
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,759
And I'm keeping
the fennel seeds whole,

186
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,199
so I don't really want to
overpower anything with anything.

187
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,879
I just want everything
to go in harmony.

188
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,839
Well, I'm afraid we don't have time
to talk to anybody else now.

189
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,839
This is my problem!
It's the end of the show!

190
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,599
When I start talking, I don't stop,
and that's a problem.

191
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,359
I am making flakemeal biscuit
from Ireland.

192
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,239
Traditionally, these biscuits
wouldn't have been flavoured at all,

193
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,319
so I have, kind of,
put my own twist on it,

194
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,479
with cherries and
white chocolate and coconut.

195
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,639
Former teacher Imelda lives in
County Tyrone, Northern Ireland,

196
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,039
with her teenage son, Piers.

197
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,159
Her hearty farmers' biscuit will
feature oats and wholemeal flour.

198
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,599
That'll keep you regular.

199
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,399
Yeah, that's...

200
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,919
Never thought about it like that.

201
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,079
I can feel movement
happening already.

202
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,119
I've chosen a Yorkshire gingernut
as I'm from Yorkshire,

203
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,679
so, representing!

204
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,599
Looking to inject some zip,
Luke's flavouring with lime.

205
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,399
Gives it a bit of
a citrusy vibe.

206
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,559
So, it just, kind of,
works really nice with the ginger.

207
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,119
By day, he's a civil servant
for the Department of Education.

208
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,959
By night, a DJ on
the Sheffield club scene.

209
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,999
To ensure it punches through,

210
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,839
he's adding lime to his
biscuits and his filling.

211
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,199
It's all about that balance
between the ginger and the lime.

212
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,119
I've been doing
a lot of practising at home,

213
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,199
cos what I want is the lime
to come through first

214
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,879
and a few seconds later, like,
the heat of the ginger come through.

215
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,399
Um, so, hopefully...
Look forward to it. Thank you, Luke.

216
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:56,799
Thank you. All right.

217
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,959
Am I in the light? What's my line?

218
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,239
One hour.
What's my motivation?

219
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,359
Perfect.
Bakers, you have one hour left.

220
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,759
It disappears quite quickly,
doesn't it?

221
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,719
I thought I was good.
That was excellent. OK.

222
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,919
So, I'm just rolling out
my shortbread.

223
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,359
Just making sure
it's the same thickness.

224
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,279
Each and every biscuit
should be uniform in shape...

225
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,719
It's good. ..and size.

226
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,719
I'm just weighing out
each of these balls.

227
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,039
15g each.

228
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,919
Wouldn't normally do this at home,
but we have to get them identical.

229
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,599
But for the five bakers
making sandwich biscuits,

230
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,719
it's twice the work.

231
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,799
I'm making 48 cookies!

232
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,519
I'm really hoping
I get that done in time.

233
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,639
Bengaluru-born Antony
is a banker,

234
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,079
whose love affair with Bollywood
even influences his baking.

235
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,679
Wow, that's proper spicy.

236
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,799
He's sandwiching mango chilli jam
between colourful biscuits.

237
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,399
We haven't danced.
Isn't now a good moment?

238
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,759
Yeah. OK.

239
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,319
You go the hands first. Yeah.

240
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,759
It's the bulb on top. OK.

241
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,159
This leg needs to go up.

242
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,959
Yeah, and then we go down.

243
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,399
And then we go up.

244
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,039
Yeah, there you are.

245
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,399
OK. That's Bollywood. You are
definitely the most fun person.

246
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,799
I'm just stamping up my shortbread
so they say "York",

247
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,119
and then I'm gonna chill this tray.

248
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,199
That goes into the fridge.

249
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,559
Their dough may be resting,
but the bakers can't...

250
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,079
Right, where are we at?

251
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,679
..with decorations
and fillings still to make.

252
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,639
I get requests every year
for strawberry jam.

253
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,599
Hopefully they'll like it.

254
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,119
Oh, chilli. Oh, the mango.

255
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,959
These Indians know how to do it,
don't they?

256
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,559
Just making butterscotch sauce to go
in my Swiss meringue buttercream.

257
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,319
I'm baking an Aberffraw biscuit.

258
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,639
I want to go for something Welsh for
the first week, being as I'm Welsh.

259
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:45,039
Jon's love of baking is matched only
by his passion for sailing

260
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,119
with his children and wife, Debbie.

261
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,839
He's updating
the 13th-century Aberffraw

262
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,959
with a butterscotch filling
to satisfy his sweet tooth.

263
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,999
Too sweet, it's like being
too good-looking, I find, you know?

264
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,239
Lush.

265
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,559
So, this is just a glaze.

266
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,799
I'm gonna also add
a bit of orange blossom.

267
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,439
Kim-Joy's also flavouring
with a personal favourite

268
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,959
she discovered in the bath.

269
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,919
I bought a hair conditioner
and it smelled really nice,

270
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,279
and I looked at what's in it
and it had orange blossom.

271
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,039
So, I thought, "Yeah, that's like
a piece of me in my biscuit."

272
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,839
A mental health specialist
working with students,

273
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,279
Kim-Joy's a huge fan
of oriental flavours.

274
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,319
Her orange blossom York biscuit
will be topped

275
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,039
with the county's
emblematic white rose.

276
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,359
These look beautiful.

277
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,679
Sort of getting the urge
to call you Lovejoy is that OK?

278
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,319
"Lovejoy"?
Oh, is that like a flower?

279
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,719
No, it's not!
It's an antiques dealer.

280
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,439
Detective? He's like a sort...

281
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,919
It doesn't matter.
I've heard of Lovejoy.

282
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,239
How old are you? About 12?

283
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,839
You won't know who he is.

284
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,639
Our next baker's
also decorating with white roses.

285
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:56,279
Oh, gently, gently.

286
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,479
But she's making hers from scratch.

287
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,039
They take longer than you think.

288
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,799
But obviously, for this challenge,

289
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,119
I thought perhaps I ought
to have a little go.

290
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,239
Grandmother Karen works part-time...

291
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,719
Strawberry, young man?

292
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,559
..as a product promoter
at her local supermarket.

293
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,999
Juicy?

294
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,359
She's basing her biscuits on
a traditional Yorkshire Perkin.

295
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,759
So, are you a Yorkshire lass?

296
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,919
I am. Wakefield. Wakefield.
Shakey Wakey.

297
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,159
You're looking very Elvis-fied.

298
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,159
Elvis/Shakin' Stevens.

299
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,119
Or, as Sandi says, KD Lang.

300
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,959
Our final baker's topping
his biscuits with mini works of art.

301
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,839
I'm gonna try and recreate
24 identical little lambs.

302
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,439
When he's not painting or sculpting,

303
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,199
keen artist Terry
takes to the great outdoors.

304
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,679
Walk on, Amy.

305
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,839
His shortbread will feature oatmeal
topped with chocolate decorations.

306
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,319
I'll make chocolate wafers.

307
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,479
The lambs, hopefully...
Oh, it's a lamb?

308
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,319
I think it's cos it's upside-down.

309
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,159
Hopefully they'll be tidied up
from this.

310
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,399
Right, I'll get them in
the oven now.

311
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,719
Perfecting 24 identical biscuits
with a single oven...

312
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,399
This is the next one.

313
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,039
..will require this year's
bakers to navigate a timing

314
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,359
and temperature minefield.

315
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,039
First ten in.

316
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,519
We're off, we're off.

317
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:18,199
These are going in the oven
for eight minutes.

318
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,279
Misjudge either across
any of their batches...

319
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,599
23 minutes at 165 degrees.

320
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,119
..and they can kiss goodbye
to even textures and colours.

321
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,959
Yeah, I just need to rush a bit

322
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,879
because this takes 40 minutes
to bake.

323
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,199
I'll put six minutes on the clock
and hope for the best.

324
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,359
I can't keep my eyes off them,
because I'm just like,

325
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,319
"Don't get too brown."

326
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,119
You don't really want
any colour on them. Look.

327
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,759
The back ones are a little bit more
brown than the front, so I'll

328
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,599
probably leave them in
a little bit longer.

329
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,359
I think they need four more minutes.

330
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,399
I'm looking for a wee bit
of browning on them.

331
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,639
They're looking a bit pale.

332
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,919
I'll not panic just yet.

333
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,719
Soon, but not yet.

334
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,319
Bakers, you have just half an hour.

335
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,519
I do radio as well as television,
you know.

336
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,439
Waiting for my first load
to come out the oven,

337
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,159
then put my second load in.

338
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,599
Yeah, they look good.
Nice golden brown colour.

339
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,759
Beautiful. Happy with that.

340
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,039
Yeah, I think they're done.

341
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,479
Mixed results on that one.

342
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,759
There's a few duds.

343
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,959
So that's batch one done.

344
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,879
Second lot in.

345
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,679
They just jumped off the tray.

346
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,999
Now I'm just adding the jam to make
sure that the paisley sticks on.

347
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,239
Ah! Fudge!

348
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,159
So I think I need to speed up
a little bit.

349
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,079
It is hot in here.

350
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,039
Chocolate's not good in this heat.
It's not setting quickly.

351
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,479
Just piping around the flowers.

352
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,199
Decoration has to be so uniform.

353
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,399
You just have to be better
than one other person, don't you?

354
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,599
They look so pretty, though.

355
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,879
It would be a shame if one of them
fell on the floor...

356
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,239
Erm...!

357
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,199
OK, how long have we got?

358
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,519
Bakers, you have five minutes left.

359
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,919
Sweet baby Jesus.

360
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,999
Oh, my God.
I am so running behind on time.

361
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,679
Finished.

362
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,839
24 biscuits.

363
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,319
Definitely last-minute dash.

364
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,519
I've not got one decorated
biscuit yet.

365
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,239
Would you like a crisp?

366
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,399
I would like nothing that involves
taking my eyes off this table.

367
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,519
Don't want to rush it too much,

368
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,359
cos they're already
spreading a little bit.

369
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,999
I don't want to make them
look messy.

370
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,199
They're not set.

371
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,519
I am making some masala chai tea,

372
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,159
and it works really well
with the biscuit.

373
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,239
Come on, release!

374
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,119
Chocolate, in this weather.
I shouldn't have done it.

375
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,439
I am rushing the decoration.

376
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,719
Do you want me to help
you put them on? Thank you, yeah.

377
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,599
Cool.
Right, shall we do this one, yeah?

378
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,999
How many have I got?
One, two, three, four...

379
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,319
8. 10, 18.

380
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,599
How many do I need, 24?

381
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,999
This is ridiculous.
They don't even look like lambs!

382
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,279
Just one more.

383
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,279
They're still melting.

384
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,439
Bakers, your time is up.

385
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:15,759
Please put your biscuits at the
end of your benches.

386
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,959
Done!

387
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:20,639
I'm going out.

388
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,319
Hey, this is one of three. I know.
No, this is one of three. I know.

389
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:25,119
We did it. We've done it! Yes!

390
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,839
The bakers now face the judgment

391
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,039
of Paul and Prue
for the very first time.

392
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,479
Hello, Antony.
Hello, you guys.

393
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,839
Fascinating looking biscuit.
Those colours are incredible.

394
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,919
Brilliant, they are
quite psychedelic. Love that.

395
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,159
I think they look like little
modern art, they're so pretty.

396
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,399
Prue, you just like them
cos they match your outfit.

397
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,319
You know what?
That texture is beautiful.

398
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,519
Melts in your mouth.

399
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,079
And that chilli jam
blends gorgeously with it.

400
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,199
That's a, that's a great biscuit.
Thank you, Paul.

401
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,439
Boom! Absolutely. I'll take that.
Simply wonderful.

402
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,879
I have to take one away with me.

403
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,839
Cheers. Well done!

404
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,679
I think your piping work is
beautiful. It does look amazing.

405
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,439
Nice and spicy.

406
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,719
Very chewy.

407
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,319
I don't like the texture. It's like
a very, very small cookie.

408
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:40,439
Didn't blow me away.

409
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,559
Well, I'll take a lot back
from that anyway. That's it.

410
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,559
They are absolutely exquisite.

411
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,559
Aww! I just love them.

412
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Beautifully balanced biscuit,
you break into it

413
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,199
and then it instantly
starts to melt in your mouth

414
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,959
and the beautiful flavours come out.

415
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,639
There's enough acidity from the
orange to make your mouth water.

416
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,679
Well done.

417
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,079
It looks quite pale.

418
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,079
I do think it is
a tiny bit under-baked.

419
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,359
It's quite bland.
It is down to the bake,

420
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,519
it needs another three,
four minutes.

421
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,479
Cheers.

422
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,359
First of all,
they are extremely neat.

423
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,999
I like the look of them.

424
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,879
Ooh, very nice.

425
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,839
The biscuit is beautifully baked.
It melts in the mouth, it's buttery.

426
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,799
I love chocolate
and I love hazelnut,

427
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,919
so you've just ticked two boxes
there for me.

428
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,199
That's a fantastic biscuit.

429
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,279
Thank you. Would be nice with
a glass of milk too.

430
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,879
Well, it's there. Well done.
Well done.

431
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,159
Thank you very much. Thank you.

432
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,799
Good.

433
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Thank you.

434
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,799
I like this, it's like owl feathers.

435
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,999
But it has a lot of flavours in it.
Yeah, it has.

436
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,079
I don't think the fennel has quite
the punch you thought it has.

437
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:00,919
OK. Yeah. Thank you.

438
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,879
The reason why you've got 25?

439
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,039
I'm bad at maths.

440
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,679
Do you know,
they taste a little dry.

441
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,879
It's like a dried sponge
rather than a biscuit.

442
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,319
It's very difficult to eat.

443
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,479
OK. Do you want to taste
the tea, Paul?

444
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,159
Yeah, that's wet.

445
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,159
They're dry. Great.

446
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,239
Phew!

447
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,679
They are quite pale looking.

448
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,999
That is tough.

449
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,519
Is it? It's a bit chewy.
That's not a shortbread.

450
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:33,839
It needed longer in the oven.

451
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,879
The flavours are great.

452
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,999
And that jam's delicious.
Just don't like eating it?

453
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,839
Everything else, terrible.
Thank you. OK.

454
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,919
Hello, Terry. Hello, Paul.

455
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,719
Right, OK, this is interesting.

456
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,279
Um...

457
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,959
Not my finest hour.

458
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,639
My lamb is not good, is it? Love it.
It's like a Warhol print.

459
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:53,759
Yeah.

460
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,919
I don't like the colour,
I don't like the look of them.

461
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,279
They're not neat enough for me.
Yeah.

462
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,399
Right.

463
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,879
They are a little bit hard.

464
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,079
Great flavour.

465
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,759
It's just that, you know,
the execution is a bit of a mess.

466
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,279
It's a rough old biscuit, that one.
Never mind.

467
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,639
Thank you, Terry, thank you.

468
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,639
Live to fight another day, perhaps.
Onwards and upwards. Indeed.

469
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,919
You can do it.
You can be the comeback kid,

470
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,519
you'll be the comeback kid.

471
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,839
Let's hope so, Noel.

472
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,999
I think they look great.

473
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,879
They look like a proper gingernut.

474
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,239
Mm, ginger's lovely. Just right.

475
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,359
The lime, however, it just isn't
there. It does need a bit more lime.

476
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,479
Nice, though. You can breathe now.

477
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:43,879
They look very neat.

478
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,799
I'm scared. Break well.

479
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,879
That's a delicious biscuit.

480
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,399
Very oaty.

481
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,759
Yeah, feels healthy.

482
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,439
Well done. No, it's not. Thank you.

483
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,479
But it is worth the calories.
Absolutely.

484
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:04,799
Hello, Briony. Hello.

485
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,719
Looks good. Thank you.

486
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,439
And they're pretty uniform in
colour and size. I know, yeah.

487
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,519
They're very neat.

488
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,159
I certainly like the scalloped
edges. I think that looks beautiful.

489
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,559
Right.

490
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,559
The shortbread is really
melt-in-the-mouth and crumbly.

491
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,079
What do you think about
the egg yolk?

492
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:24,319
I think it's probably
the best shortbread here today.

493
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,119
I'm gonna try. Oh, good!

494
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,039
It's a crumbly, soft,
buttery biscuit

495
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,159
and then that bite
which comes from the apple,

496
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,799
the cider and the caramelisation
on the top, the sweetness,

497
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,199
it just blows your mind.
It's a great biscuit, there.

498
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,519
Oh, thank you!

499
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,319
Well done. Really good.

500
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:41,599
Oh, I'm shaking.

501
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,239
Pretty overwhelmed, actually.

502
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,519
And for Prue to say she's then
gonna use the yolk technique...

503
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,799
Oh, my gosh, wow!

504
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,999
Not in the place I would have
liked to have been, but, you know,

505
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,279
wrong biscuit, wrong day.

506
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,399
Paul said it was beautifully baked.

507
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,599
OK, it's a good start.

508
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,399
It's my whole school life.
Could have done better, really.

509
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,479
I mean, I thought
biscuits were meant to be dry!

510
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,319
The bakers were able to
practise their first challenge.

511
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,479
Every week, their second will be
a mystery shrouded in gingham.

512
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,119
Hello, lovely bakers. It's time for
your first technical challenge,

513
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,119
which today has been set for you
by the lovely Paul.

514
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,479
This was a real favourite of mine
when I was a kid.

515
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,919
Please don't mess it up.

516
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,399
As usual,
the challenge is judged blind,

517
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,479
so Paul and Prue are not
going to be lingering in the tent.

518
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,879
OK, off you two go.
Thank you very much.

519
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,479
What are they up to today?
Bouncy castle.

520
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,359
Aw, that's nice.

521
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,999
For your technical challenge,

522
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:51,079
Paul would like you to make his
version of the iconic Wagon Wheel.

523
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,679
You have to make eight and
you have two and a quarter hours,

524
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,479
so you have to get
your wagons rolling.

525
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,039
On your marks... Get set... ..bake.

526
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,959
Well, that was unexpected.

527
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,359
Do not panic.

528
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,679
The iconic wheel-shaped
chocolate biscuit

529
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,839
was launched in Britain
70 years ago.

530
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,239
I do know what a
Wagon Wheel is. Hurrah!

531
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,759
Have I made one before? No.

532
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,559
I have absolutely no clue
what these are.

533
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,679
To make them, the bakers have
all been given the same ingredients

534
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,759
from Paul's pared-down recipe.

535
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,559
I've never made a Wagon Wheel
in my life.

536
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,599
But, yeah, I love 'em,
so let's go for it.

537
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,959
So, Paul, this is the first
technical challenge.

538
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,519
Why have we got Wagon Wheels?

539
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,319
I think
there's many different elements

540
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,039
to a Wagon Wheel
that's quite tricky.

541
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,999
You've got that biscuit,
which is crunchy,

542
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,799
it's about getting the marshmallow
right.

543
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,519
Not something that's rubbery,
not something that pours out.

544
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,599
And then the chocolate coating
must be nice and even over the top.

545
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,359
The chocolate should be firm enough
to hold that marshmallow.

546
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,479
It's really beautiful.
The difficulty is

547
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,719
putting all that together
without panicking.

548
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,879
It's the Great British Bake Off,
you've got to test 'em.

549
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,959
"For the biscuits, tip the flour,
salt and butter into a bowl."

550
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,439
Takes me back to my teacher days
where I'm like,

551
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,319
"Read the question,
underline what they're looking for."

552
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:10,719
I did OK at exams.

553
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,559
So, cool as a cucumber!

554
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,839
Rub the butter into the flour...

555
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,599
I made a few mistakes this morning,

556
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,159
so I'm hoping to not do that again,
especially in the technical as well.

557
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,639
The first technical's always
gonna be a tricky one.

558
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,679
Stir the sugar, vanilla paste,
add the egg yolk...

559
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,999
I did something wrong already.

560
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,239
I didn't rub the butter
into the flour.

561
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,319
But we just got to go on with it.

562
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:34,119
Have you made these before? I've
eaten lots of them, never made them.

563
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,479
There's a few people here
who've never even heard of them,

564
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,399
so you're ahead of the game.
I've never had one.

565
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,719
Really? You've never had
a Wagon Wheel? No, darling.

566
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,159
What? Have you even lived?
No Wagon Wheels?

567
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,239
Uh, I... I'll be honest with you.

568
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,799
I was 55 before
I tried a Pot Noodle.

569
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,759
Well...well, what can you...?
It's possible I've missed out.

570
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,999
You can't come back from that.
I've missed out.

571
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,279
OK, so what do I do now?
Bring the dough together.

572
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,199
It's important not to, sort of,
knead it.

573
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,879
You'll lose that shortness in it.
Not mess with it too much.

574
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,679
Just need to get the jam on now.
Raspberries.

575
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:05,759
In you go.

576
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,359
Add the sugar and bring to the boil.

577
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,839
The jam you want it,
you want to get some heat in there.

578
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,839
Get that jam cooking away,
bubbling up to thicken a little bit.

579
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,639
It's not looking how I would like it
to look. It seems a little watery.

580
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,959
Right, what's next?

581
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,199
Bit that scares me about this
is the marshmallow.

582
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,119
Tip the sugar into a medium pan,
add the glucose, the water...

583
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,279
I've never made marshmallow before.

584
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,599
Still, I'm hoping that...
Yeah, we'll see.

585
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,479
Look at me. It's gonna be great.

586
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,679
See, look at that!

587
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,079
Huh? Is that working?

588
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,119
Well...no.

589
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,759
As soon as the sugar syrup reaches
120 degrees, remove from the heat.

590
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,519
A little off there yet.

591
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,479
I need it to cook, but it isn't.

592
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,759
My sugar isn't cooking.

593
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,319
So, there we are, you see?
It's starting to get syrupy.

594
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:50,199
I'm just following the recipe
and it's going OK.

595
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,399
You've got to be kidding me.

596
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,119
I did something stupidly wrong,
yeah.

597
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,719
I just need water.

598
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,399
Whisk the egg white in the bowl of
the stand mixer until firm.

599
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,639
Pour the sugar syrup over
the egg whites.

600
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,839
You want to pour it down the side
and it magically turns into

601
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,039
fluffy marshmallow.

602
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,959
Well, that's what's
hopefully gonna happen.

603
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,079
Ah, pretty good.

604
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:11,599
Happy with the marshmallow.

605
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,359
Bakers, that is one hour gone.

606
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,319
On a lightly floured surface,
roll out the biscuit dough.

607
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:23,479
Cut out 16 seven-centimetre circles
from the dough.

608
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,599
They were much larger in my day...
You were smaller.

609
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,719
..and then they got smaller.
No, you were smaller.

610
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,719
And now they're smaller...
Yeah, that's probably,
you're probably right.

611
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,999
You were small, it looked big.

612
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,559
The whole world
still looks big to me.

613
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,159
I wish I was still small, things
would look bigger and then...

614
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,359
You're like a giant amongst men
to me. Aw, thank you.

615
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,239
Oh, no, it just says,
"..and then bake."

616
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,279
Going in, guys.

617
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,159
On 160 for I don't know how long.

618
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,999
Let's say 12 minutes.

619
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,799
I'll keep a little beady eye
on those.

620
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,199
I am really battling time.

621
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,999
Come on, biscuits.

622
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,119
I see them gently cooking.

623
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,559
That's going in.

624
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,319
I'm falling behind now,
I need to run, run, run, run, run.

625
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:00,999
OK, I think I'm gonna
take them out.

626
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,399
Looks pretty good.

627
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,879
They're looking tanned. They're
cooked and they're circular.

628
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,679
Just gonna need them to chill a bit
before I put the chocolate on them.

629
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,839
Cos otherwise the chocolate
will just slide off.

630
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,039
The chocolate's my worry.

631
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,159
Having the disaster this morning
with chocolate.

632
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,999
Why you doing that? I'm just trying
to cool the chocolate a little...

633
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,799
It's because you're French, isn't
it? You like to sort of... No, no!

634
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,919
It's the French way of stirring. The
English people are all doing this.

635
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,759
"To assemble, spread some of the
melted chocolate over the
base of eight of the biscuits."

636
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,759
Just trying to make them
as beautiful as possible.

637
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,919
Trying to get a nice smooth
finish on it.

638
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,279
My hands are starting to shake.

639
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,599
Right, just get those
in the freezer.

640
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,959
Bakers, you have 30 biscuit
baking minutes left.

641
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,439
Come on, come on.

642
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,479
Pipe the marshmallow over the
remaining eight biscuits.

643
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,439
Trying not to pipe
too close to the edge,

644
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,239
because I know when they sandwich,

645
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,279
I don't want, like,
serious spillage.

646
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,559
Oh, dear.

647
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,879
Marshmallow's over set.

648
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,919
My piping bag's split
because it's so thick.

649
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,199
All right. I need to assemble.

650
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,439
It's been a while since I've had
a Wagon Wheel,

651
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,519
so I can't remember how much jam
is in them.

652
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,399
Sandwich the biscuits together.

653
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,199
Coat the biscuits
with the remaining chocolate.

654
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,199
It's quite vague, innit, this?
Yeah.

655
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,319
You know why, don't you? Yeah. Paul.

656
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,999
Yeah, I know, he's a so-and-so.
He don't give much away.

657
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,039
I'm trying to figure out
how to do full coverage.

658
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,959
This is the stage
I'm really unsure about.

659
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,319
Just gonna do it like this.

660
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,559
Dear, dear, dear.
It's gonna be shabby.

661
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,319
I'm gonna go for a full coverage.

662
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,759
Cannot get the chocolate to come
around the side. So annoying.

663
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,559
I think it's coated
all the way through.

664
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,719
Just doesn't want to flood that gap.

665
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,159
Desperate measures.

666
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,279
I need this to be a sprint finish.

667
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,279
All covered...perfect.

668
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,399
Put them in the freezer I think
just to chill quickly.

669
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,559
Gives those a couple of minutes
and see how we get on.

670
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,959
It's not doing it for me.

671
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,679
Disaster.

672
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,559
How long we got to go?
Bakers, you have one minute.

673
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,319
What?
Run, run like the wind.

674
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,159
Oh, sugar plum fairies.

675
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,359
Proper disaster.

676
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,119
Horrendous.

677
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,999
Right, bakers, that's it.
Your time is up.

678
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,759
Boom. First technical done.

679
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,439
Please bring your Wagon Wheels
to the gingham table

680
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,319
and place them
behind your own visage.

681
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,119
Paul and Prue are expecting
eight identical Wagon Wheels

682
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,119
with two crunchy biscuits
sandwiching fluffy marshmallow

683
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,639
and tart raspberry jam,
coated in smooth chocolate.

684
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,919
And they'll have no idea
whose is whose.

685
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,479
Right, shall we start over here,
Prue? OK.

686
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,319
They are all coated. They're all
coated. Let's have a look inside.

687
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,639
It's rather good.
Actually, it's pretty good.

688
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,519
The biscuit's got a bit of crunch
to it,

689
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,639
the marshmallow's silky
and they're all equal.

690
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,479
Moving on.
Now these haven't quite set,

691
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,879
and obviously, there was an issue

692
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,399
because the chocolate's not
gonna bond with the bottom.

693
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,999
It's a time question. If we left it,
they'd be glued to the plate.

694
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,959
OK, what has happened?
Big rush job, this one.

695
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,279
I'm not sure that counts
as a Wagon Wheel.

696
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,319
I think this is also going to be
a timing issue.

697
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,879
It's totally detached
from the bottom. Yeah.

698
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,879
Moving on. It's neat, biscuit's nice
and crunchy, nice depth of biscuit.

699
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,519
Good taste. Good texture.
That's very good.

700
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,319
It's a bit rough but it is set.

701
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,839
It's been spread rather than
poured or dipped.

702
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,879
And the marshmallow's good.

703
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,079
We wanted the sides covered.

704
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,639
I think it's probably
a bit too much marshmallow.

705
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,159
That's what happens if you
don't cover the chocolate.

706
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,799
These are very good.
Nice and smooth.

707
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,679
I think this is the best-looking
we've seen.

708
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,959
Holds together well.

709
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,679
Nice and tart, the jam,
smooth marshmallow. Very good.

710
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,279
OK.

711
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,319
There's a lot of chocolate on that.
Is this for a chocoholic? Wow.

712
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,759
If you were a kid,
you'd be delighted.

713
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,839
I am quite delighted!

714
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,319
OK. They are set.

715
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,999
Very little marshmallow.

716
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,319
Feels quite rubbery.

717
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,959
Right, never sealed up
the marshmallow around the side.

718
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,399
Not quite set.
This is the messiest job.

719
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,519
This is not a job.

720
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,599
This one looks good. Got almost that
Wagon Wheel look to it on the top.

721
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,159
Cuts well, biscuit nice and deep.

722
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,919
Nice, thick layer of marshmallow.

723
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,119
That is really clever.

724
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,359
It's very good.

725
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,599
Prue and Paul
have made their decision.

726
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,439
In 12th, we have this one.

727
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,759
Who's that? Antony.

728
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,199
It wasn't finished,
no coating on the edge.

729
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,039
Disaster. In 11th position,
we have this one.

730
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,239
Whose is this? Bit of a rush
and you ran out of time.

731
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,879
Kim-Joy is tenth,
Terry ninth, Luke eighth,

732
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,479
Rahul seventh, Karen sixth,

733
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,759
Jon fifth and Dan is fourth.

734
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,239
In third position, we have this one.

735
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,559
Whose is this?

736
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,599
Very well done.
Have you seen these before?

737
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,359
Chocolate's excellent,
nice and smooth.

738
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,759
Yeah, I think it's a great job.

739
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,359
Thank you. In second position
we have this one, who is that?

740
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,919
Briony, they are
absolutely delicious,

741
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,079
they're the right thickness.
They're a really good Wagon Wheel.

742
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,519
Thank you.

743
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,119
So, in first position,
we have this one.

744
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,399
Lovely shine on the chocolate,
nice and smooth,

745
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,319
marshmallow is good. That's a nice
Wagon Wheel, well done.

746
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,839
Thank God.

747
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,639
I was feeling pretty rubbish
this morning,

748
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,159
so yeah, really happy about that.

749
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,239
It was such a high
at the start of the day

750
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,679
and now second last,
that's pretty crap.

751
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,919
A little deflated.

752
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,999
Tomorrow I need to pull back
something from a disastrous day.

753
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,519
Really lucky, had no idea

754
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,079
what was a Wheelie Wagon.

755
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,359
What is it called?

756
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,919
Wagon Wheel? Wagon Wheel.

757
00:33:46,761 --> 00:33:48,440
One challenge remains

758
00:33:48,481 --> 00:33:51,320
before someone is crowned
this week's star baker

759
00:33:51,361 --> 00:33:54,360
and another becomes the first
to leave the Bake Off tent.

760
00:33:55,681 --> 00:33:57,160
Morning, bakers.

761
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,400
Welcome to your very first
Showstopper Challenge.

762
00:33:59,441 --> 00:34:01,120
Today, Prue and Paul

763
00:34:01,161 --> 00:34:06,160
would like you to make a spectacular
biscuit selfie portrait...

764
00:34:06,201 --> 00:34:09,400
Honestly, not words I ever thought
I'd say in the same sentence.

765
00:34:10,681 --> 00:34:12,800
Your selfie should be constructed

766
00:34:12,841 --> 00:34:14,720
from layers of
decorated biscuits

767
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:17,800
and sandwiched together
with fillings of your choice.

768
00:34:17,841 --> 00:34:21,240
Your portrait needs to be of you
somewhere memorable.

769
00:34:21,281 --> 00:34:24,800
You've got four hours to complete
your Showstopper Challenge.

770
00:34:24,841 --> 00:34:26,480
On your marks...
Get set... Bake!

771
00:34:27,721 --> 00:34:29,200
Right.

772
00:34:29,241 --> 00:34:31,680
This Showstopper is a fiendish test

773
00:34:31,721 --> 00:34:34,800
of our bakers' biscuit-making
ability.

774
00:34:34,841 --> 00:34:38,320
Not only must they engineer
a giant biscuit canvas,

775
00:34:38,361 --> 00:34:40,800
but also make multiple
intricate elements

776
00:34:40,841 --> 00:34:42,960
to bring their portraits to life.

777
00:34:43,001 --> 00:34:45,560
This is the first opportunity
these bakers have had

778
00:34:45,601 --> 00:34:50,040
of showing us artistry, skill,
imagination.

779
00:34:50,081 --> 00:34:53,320
We want the selfie to be built up
with layers of biscuits

780
00:34:53,361 --> 00:34:55,200
because we want some depth to it.

781
00:34:55,241 --> 00:34:58,000
We want a proper portrait
displayed on an easel,

782
00:34:58,041 --> 00:35:00,680
so obviously, the biscuit sliding
is the big problem.

783
00:35:00,721 --> 00:35:03,560
They could use caramel,
they could use royal icing.

784
00:35:03,601 --> 00:35:05,880
They're the perfect things to bond
with biscuit

785
00:35:05,921 --> 00:35:07,800
and withstand the force of gravity.

786
00:35:07,841 --> 00:35:10,840
Importantly, we don't want
style over substance.

787
00:35:10,881 --> 00:35:12,000
If they don't taste like

788
00:35:12,041 --> 00:35:14,160
the most beautiful biscuits
you've ever eaten,

789
00:35:14,201 --> 00:35:15,840
they're not going to get anywhere.

790
00:35:15,881 --> 00:35:17,320
It is a monumental challenge.

791
00:35:17,361 --> 00:35:20,640
A lot of time pressure, and after
falling victim to that yesterday,

792
00:35:20,681 --> 00:35:23,480
I don't want to be
in the same position today.

793
00:35:23,521 --> 00:35:25,720
I need to be at the top of my game.

794
00:35:25,761 --> 00:35:27,160
Famous last words.

795
00:35:28,721 --> 00:35:31,680
As well as a dough that results in
biscuits sturdy enough

796
00:35:31,721 --> 00:35:34,160
to construct a 3D work of art...

797
00:35:34,201 --> 00:35:36,840
My biscuit dough is a bit of
a shortbread texture,

798
00:35:36,881 --> 00:35:38,760
but it's got to be
a little bit firmer

799
00:35:38,801 --> 00:35:40,280
because it's got to hold it up.

800
00:35:40,321 --> 00:35:43,400
..it must also deliver
exquisite flavours.

801
00:35:43,441 --> 00:35:45,760
I'm making a cinnamon
and orange biscuit.

802
00:35:45,801 --> 00:35:47,680
I really like cinnamon and orange.

803
00:35:47,721 --> 00:35:51,080
They go well together...and I wish
I hadn't done so many oranges.

804
00:35:51,121 --> 00:35:52,640
This is really hurting my arm now.

805
00:35:52,681 --> 00:35:54,320
Featuring a lemon curd sun

806
00:35:54,361 --> 00:35:56,240
and buttercream choppy seas,

807
00:35:56,281 --> 00:35:57,880
Jon's selfie was inspired by

808
00:35:57,921 --> 00:35:59,440
a family sailing trip.

809
00:35:59,481 --> 00:36:02,480
We had a lovely, placid journey
over to Tenby.

810
00:36:02,521 --> 00:36:04,280
Force six storm in the middle of it.

811
00:36:04,321 --> 00:36:06,560
I thought it was idyllic sailing
conditions,

812
00:36:06,601 --> 00:36:08,080
but my wife thought otherwise.

813
00:36:08,121 --> 00:36:09,920
Hence coming back on the train.

814
00:36:09,961 --> 00:36:11,880
Back on dry land...

815
00:36:11,921 --> 00:36:15,680
My biscuit selfie is,
what a shocker, me in Bristol.

816
00:36:15,721 --> 00:36:19,080
Briony will showcase
her hometown's landmarks

817
00:36:19,121 --> 00:36:20,640
in lemon and poppy seed biscuit.

818
00:36:20,681 --> 00:36:22,360
You've practised it?

819
00:36:22,401 --> 00:36:24,400
Yes, I did it in, like,
four and a half hours,

820
00:36:24,441 --> 00:36:26,880
but that was with my daughter
and my dog around, so I think...

821
00:36:26,921 --> 00:36:29,520
It's the same thing.
You've got me, Prue...

822
00:36:29,561 --> 00:36:32,040
I'm the dog. Good luck, Briony.

823
00:36:32,081 --> 00:36:33,560
Thank you very much, thank you.

824
00:36:33,601 --> 00:36:35,920
If I'm gonna be your dog,
what kind of dog have you got?

825
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:37,280
A Cockapoo. A Cockapoo. OK.

826
00:36:37,321 --> 00:36:40,720
Cos, you know, I'm a method actor,
so I need to know.

827
00:36:40,761 --> 00:36:43,520
For his selfie,
Rahul's heading down memory lane.

828
00:36:43,561 --> 00:36:46,320
First time when I came to UK,
I went for a walk.

829
00:36:46,361 --> 00:36:49,440
It was lovely, everything was green,
flowers were coming out.

830
00:36:49,481 --> 00:36:51,680
So this is basically
on that memory.

831
00:36:51,721 --> 00:36:53,800
To recreate his springtime stroll

832
00:36:53,841 --> 00:36:54,880
in gingerbread,

833
00:36:54,921 --> 00:36:56,520
he's got a detailed blueprint.

834
00:36:56,561 --> 00:37:00,760
These are the trees and the canal
and the bridge, and then it's me.

835
00:37:00,801 --> 00:37:02,920
I got about 23 pieces.

836
00:37:02,961 --> 00:37:04,880
It is very, very ambitious design.

837
00:37:06,161 --> 00:37:08,600
But with a triple-layered
40-biscuit design,

838
00:37:08,641 --> 00:37:11,680
Ruby's taking ambitious
to the next level.

839
00:37:11,721 --> 00:37:15,320
My portrait is me finishing
the London Marathon.

840
00:37:15,361 --> 00:37:17,480
Decorated with numerous toppings,

841
00:37:17,521 --> 00:37:19,400
her marathon selfie involves

842
00:37:19,441 --> 00:37:20,920
a marathon to-do list.

843
00:37:20,961 --> 00:37:22,840
I'm not gonna tell them this.

844
00:37:22,881 --> 00:37:26,760
I have never finished it in time.
I've never even finished it.

845
00:37:26,801 --> 00:37:28,920
Let's hope
that's not the case today.

846
00:37:30,641 --> 00:37:33,760
I am just rolling out my dough,
starting with the...

847
00:37:33,801 --> 00:37:37,800
the base biscuits, because they take
the longest to cook. OK, let's go.

848
00:37:37,841 --> 00:37:42,120
Getting the giant biscuit canvas
baked early is critical.

849
00:37:42,161 --> 00:37:43,600
So I've done four of these squares.

850
00:37:43,641 --> 00:37:46,200
That'll be the background
and everything'll be stuck to that.

851
00:37:46,241 --> 00:37:47,560
The longer it takes,

852
00:37:47,601 --> 00:37:51,600
the less precious oven time they'll
have for their smaller biscuits.

853
00:37:51,641 --> 00:37:54,040
This is cherry blossom trees.

854
00:37:54,081 --> 00:37:55,440
They are my glasses.

855
00:37:55,481 --> 00:37:56,920
These are the waves.

856
00:37:56,961 --> 00:37:59,480
Just come to check on you.
Just very sweaty at the moment.

857
00:37:59,521 --> 00:38:01,680
You were sweaty yesterday.
Is that a thing for you?

858
00:38:01,721 --> 00:38:03,400
Yeah. Mr Sweaty?
I'm always Mr Sweaty.

859
00:38:03,441 --> 00:38:05,680
I don't know if that makes me
more attracted or less.

860
00:38:05,721 --> 00:38:06,960
I'm gonna go with less, Jon.

861
00:38:07,001 --> 00:38:09,360
Stand next to me,
you'll always look less sweaty.

862
00:38:10,521 --> 00:38:12,560
Aah, there's so many pieces!

863
00:38:12,601 --> 00:38:13,720
Shattered.

864
00:38:13,761 --> 00:38:17,120
I love the mountains,
so I climbed Kilimanjaro.

865
00:38:17,161 --> 00:38:20,080
The selfie itself is right
on top of the peak.

866
00:38:20,121 --> 00:38:22,920
Antony's ascent
of Africa's highest mountain

867
00:38:22,961 --> 00:38:24,400
will be realised with royal icing

868
00:38:24,441 --> 00:38:27,120
and biscuits flavoured with
local spices.

869
00:38:27,161 --> 00:38:29,320
Ginger and cinnamon,
you will get that bang on

870
00:38:29,361 --> 00:38:31,520
as soon as you
put a cookie in your mouth.

871
00:38:31,561 --> 00:38:33,520
Like Antony, half the bakers

872
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:36,360
are basing their selfies
on trips abroad.

873
00:38:36,401 --> 00:38:39,160
It's set in my favourite place,
which is in France.

874
00:38:39,201 --> 00:38:41,120
We've got a holiday home there.

875
00:38:41,161 --> 00:38:42,960
Karen's doubling down with two

876
00:38:43,001 --> 00:38:45,200
flavours that often divide opinion.

877
00:38:45,241 --> 00:38:47,840
Rosewater and cardamom together?

878
00:38:47,881 --> 00:38:50,720
Yes.
I can see the eyes rolling.

879
00:38:50,761 --> 00:38:53,720
No, I absolutely think that is
a wonderful flavour combination,

880
00:38:53,761 --> 00:38:56,240
I really do, as long as the
rosewater isn't overpowering.

881
00:38:56,281 --> 00:38:58,280
This is the trouble, isn't it?
It's all the balance.

882
00:38:58,321 --> 00:38:59,480
Good luck. Thank you.

883
00:38:59,521 --> 00:39:02,280
I'm gonna moonwalk away
from you now.

884
00:39:02,321 --> 00:39:04,120
See ya!

885
00:39:04,161 --> 00:39:05,720
This is gonna be Palm Springs.

886
00:39:05,761 --> 00:39:08,000
Me and my husband actually
had our kids, uh,

887
00:39:08,041 --> 00:39:09,840
with the help of a surrogate
in California.

888
00:39:09,881 --> 00:39:12,800
So we stayed in Palm Springs for a
month just getting to know our kids

889
00:39:12,841 --> 00:39:13,920
and it was just amazing.

890
00:39:13,961 --> 00:39:17,160
It just was the best moment in my
life. Don't tell my husband that.

891
00:39:17,201 --> 00:39:19,120
Dan's journey into fatherhood,

892
00:39:19,161 --> 00:39:20,440
featuring his first-born,

893
00:39:20,481 --> 00:39:22,400
will be made with
almond sugar cookies.

894
00:39:22,441 --> 00:39:24,320
When it's all decorated
with royal icing,

895
00:39:24,361 --> 00:39:26,520
it's gonna be me holding a baby.

896
00:39:26,561 --> 00:39:31,520
Luke's also heading stateside, but
his trip was strictly adults-only.

897
00:39:31,561 --> 00:39:33,960
I went to Las Vegas with my
friends a few years ago.

898
00:39:34,001 --> 00:39:35,760
We basically went on a bit of
a mad night out.

899
00:39:35,801 --> 00:39:37,800
The inspiration, that's where it
came from,

900
00:39:37,841 --> 00:39:40,360
a bit of a drunken night out
with my friends on holiday in Vegas.

901
00:39:40,401 --> 00:39:42,240
He'll be flavouring his biscuit

902
00:39:42,281 --> 00:39:44,560
Sin City with orange zest
and cinnamon.

903
00:39:44,601 --> 00:39:46,880
For some reason
I associate cinnamon with America,

904
00:39:46,921 --> 00:39:49,640
so I thought I'd try and keep
the flavours,

905
00:39:49,681 --> 00:39:52,120
sort of paying homage to America,
if you like.

906
00:39:52,161 --> 00:39:53,480
Going in.

907
00:39:53,521 --> 00:39:57,360
Pop these in for eight minutes.

908
00:39:57,401 --> 00:39:59,280
Those are my little eyeballs.

909
00:39:59,321 --> 00:40:00,960
Bye-bye, good luck.

910
00:40:01,001 --> 00:40:03,920
Those are all the glacier mints.

911
00:40:03,961 --> 00:40:07,040
They should melt in the oven,
so it's gonna create glass bits.

912
00:40:07,081 --> 00:40:10,360
Stressed. Just feel like
I won't have enough time.

913
00:40:11,601 --> 00:40:13,440
But maybe I'm panicking,
I don't know.

914
00:40:13,481 --> 00:40:15,080
Buttercream next.

915
00:40:15,121 --> 00:40:16,520
I'm making the royal icing.

916
00:40:16,561 --> 00:40:18,520
This is just gonna make
a right old royal mess.

917
00:40:18,561 --> 00:40:20,280
Gin time, it's gin o'clock.

918
00:40:20,321 --> 00:40:25,440
This is my flour buttercream.
This should be like a thick custard.

919
00:40:25,481 --> 00:40:26,480
It's just not right.

920
00:40:26,521 --> 00:40:28,120
Ohhhh!

921
00:40:28,161 --> 00:40:30,640
Scramble your eggs
in your lemon curd.

922
00:40:32,281 --> 00:40:34,360
I'm gonna try and salvage it.

923
00:40:34,401 --> 00:40:38,000
So we have some matcha, which is,
like, Japanese green tea.

924
00:40:38,041 --> 00:40:40,120
I went to Japan last year,

925
00:40:40,161 --> 00:40:42,920
so this is a picture of me
in front of the Mount Fuji.

926
00:40:42,961 --> 00:40:45,400
Not only will Manon use
matcha ganache

927
00:40:45,441 --> 00:40:46,880
to bond her biscuits,

928
00:40:46,921 --> 00:40:48,440
but also to decorate them.

929
00:40:48,481 --> 00:40:50,480
I just want to carry on
what I've started

930
00:40:50,521 --> 00:40:52,480
and just finish on a good day.

931
00:40:54,521 --> 00:40:57,000
Mmm, yep. Good.

932
00:40:57,041 --> 00:41:01,200
She's not the only one taken
with the land of the rising sun.

933
00:41:01,241 --> 00:41:04,960
It's a portrait of me
at Miyajima shrine in Japan.

934
00:41:06,521 --> 00:41:09,800
I was there at sunset.
It was really peaceful.

935
00:41:09,841 --> 00:41:11,680
To offset her tranquil backdrop,

936
00:41:11,721 --> 00:41:14,240
Kim-Joy is flavouring with
a trio of punchy spices.

937
00:41:14,281 --> 00:41:18,560
The ginger tends to come through
a bit more than the cinnamon.

938
00:41:18,601 --> 00:41:20,880
It's quite strong on ginger, I hope.

939
00:41:23,801 --> 00:41:25,800
Got to do the time call.
Time call, time call.

940
00:41:25,841 --> 00:41:27,000
We've got to do the time call.

941
00:41:27,041 --> 00:41:29,000
Bakers, we're halfway through!
OK, your serve.

942
00:41:29,041 --> 00:41:30,640
Is that my alarm?

943
00:41:34,561 --> 00:41:36,440
So, these babies are coming out.

944
00:41:36,481 --> 00:41:38,240
That bad boy's going in.

945
00:41:38,281 --> 00:41:39,840
They still look pretty anaemic.

946
00:41:39,881 --> 00:41:42,360
Yesterday I slightly underbaked
my biscuits,

947
00:41:42,401 --> 00:41:44,360
so I'll risk them being
a little brown,

948
00:41:44,401 --> 00:41:46,600
just to make sure that
they're definitely baked.

949
00:41:46,641 --> 00:41:48,600
To add depth to their selfies,

950
00:41:48,641 --> 00:41:50,680
most bakers are making
robust biscuits

951
00:41:50,721 --> 00:41:52,760
which they'll layer
on top of each other.

952
00:41:53,881 --> 00:41:56,080
Yeah, they're looking good,
actually.

953
00:41:56,121 --> 00:41:58,920
Terry is taking
a very different approach.

954
00:41:58,961 --> 00:42:01,040
We're doing a brandy snap biscuit.

955
00:42:01,081 --> 00:42:04,000
I'm using it because of its
qualities as a mouldable material.

956
00:42:04,041 --> 00:42:07,200
When it comes out of the oven
it's still quite liquid,

957
00:42:07,241 --> 00:42:09,800
but you have got a very small window
to play with it.

958
00:42:09,841 --> 00:42:12,680
This is just a three-dimensional
surgical plaster face cast.

959
00:42:12,721 --> 00:42:15,720
It will cool very quickly when
it hits the mould.

960
00:42:15,761 --> 00:42:17,840
After a disappointing first day
in the tent,

961
00:42:17,881 --> 00:42:20,880
Terry's summoning
all his artistic talents.

962
00:42:20,921 --> 00:42:23,440
So you're using the brandy snap
as your main feature and then

963
00:42:23,481 --> 00:42:25,400
the background is using what,
exactly?

964
00:42:25,441 --> 00:42:26,640
It will all be brandy snap,

965
00:42:26,681 --> 00:42:30,240
laminated with raspberry jam
and flour buttercream,

966
00:42:30,281 --> 00:42:33,720
mixed into three primary colours
and then I'll just paint a picture.

967
00:42:33,761 --> 00:42:34,880
Sit and do what I do well.

968
00:42:37,001 --> 00:42:39,080
I am not arty at all.

969
00:42:39,121 --> 00:42:41,600
I'm hoping I'll be able to argue
with Prue and Paul

970
00:42:41,641 --> 00:42:43,720
that yeah, it actually does
look like me.

971
00:42:43,761 --> 00:42:46,120
Imelda's celebrating a fun day out
in Mayo

972
00:42:46,161 --> 00:42:48,040
with lemon and ginger biscuit.

973
00:42:48,081 --> 00:42:51,080
It's an opportune moment for you
to come along. How's it going?

974
00:42:51,121 --> 00:42:53,760
Horrendous. Oh, really? What?
It's burnt.

975
00:42:53,801 --> 00:42:56,800
No, darling, it just looks,
um...colourful.

976
00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:59,560
Not the look I was going for.

977
00:42:59,601 --> 00:43:00,920
I'm stressed.

978
00:43:04,001 --> 00:43:04,920
One hour to go.

979
00:43:06,881 --> 00:43:09,000
Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.

980
00:43:09,041 --> 00:43:10,360
We are way behind.

981
00:43:10,401 --> 00:43:12,400
Right, let's make some magic.

982
00:43:12,441 --> 00:43:16,160
I am sticking backboard biscuits
to the backboard.

983
00:43:16,201 --> 00:43:19,960
This is just like royal icing
to glue the big biscuit.

984
00:43:20,001 --> 00:43:21,600
And then there's gonna be
other biscuits

985
00:43:21,641 --> 00:43:23,360
which are raised on
the other biscuits.

986
00:43:23,401 --> 00:43:24,640
So, building and building it.

987
00:43:26,401 --> 00:43:29,640
This is my mountain. It's overbaked.

988
00:43:29,681 --> 00:43:33,200
I just hope I can decorate it enough
so that they don't realise.

989
00:43:33,241 --> 00:43:35,720
Oh. Oh, my goodness.

990
00:43:35,761 --> 00:43:37,920
But you know Paul and Prue,
they're gonna know.

991
00:43:37,961 --> 00:43:39,280
They'll know to look at it.

992
00:43:39,321 --> 00:43:41,640
Oh, that one's gone.

993
00:43:43,801 --> 00:43:45,240
Just working on the buttercream.

994
00:43:45,281 --> 00:43:46,680
I need to start assembling.

995
00:43:46,721 --> 00:43:49,520
I am...late.

996
00:43:49,561 --> 00:43:54,600
I am using caramel because
I think it'll be a firm bond.

997
00:43:55,961 --> 00:43:58,160
I just hope it stays together now.

998
00:43:58,201 --> 00:44:00,320
I've got a lot of worries
about this slipping.

999
00:44:00,361 --> 00:44:03,040
If I had a couple of days for it
to set, I'd be a lot happier.

1000
00:44:04,201 --> 00:44:06,840
Looking around, people are making
some decent progress.

1001
00:44:06,881 --> 00:44:09,400
I think I've shot myself
in the foot a little bit.

1002
00:44:09,441 --> 00:44:10,600
Way too over-adventurous.

1003
00:44:10,641 --> 00:44:13,360
If I get this done,
it's gonna be an absolute miracle.

1004
00:44:15,161 --> 00:44:17,400
So this is a matcha ganache.

1005
00:44:17,441 --> 00:44:19,200
So the buttercream is gonna become,
like,

1006
00:44:19,241 --> 00:44:21,920
the sky and the mountains
and some foliage.

1007
00:44:23,481 --> 00:44:25,800
It's so time-consuming
cos there's so much biscuit to ice.

1008
00:44:27,401 --> 00:44:30,240
Some bits are a bit scruffier
than I'd want.

1009
00:44:30,281 --> 00:44:31,800
Can I have a piece of your biscuit?

1010
00:44:31,841 --> 00:44:35,720
I know what you're gonna say,
you're choking, right?

1011
00:44:35,761 --> 00:44:36,960
Oh, ow! Took your tooth out?

1012
00:44:37,001 --> 00:44:38,720
Yep. No, it's delicious.

1013
00:44:38,761 --> 00:44:40,480
I'm about to do the sky.

1014
00:44:40,521 --> 00:44:42,840
I'm doing it like a painting,
basically.

1015
00:44:42,881 --> 00:44:45,080
I'm like a mad artist
when I get to this bit.

1016
00:44:45,121 --> 00:44:47,360
It's different every single time.

1017
00:44:47,401 --> 00:44:48,800
I think it depends on my mood.

1018
00:44:51,681 --> 00:44:54,360
Oh, I've had some severe breakages.

1019
00:44:54,401 --> 00:44:55,840
Oh!

1020
00:44:55,881 --> 00:44:58,880
Bakers, you have half an hour left.

1021
00:45:00,841 --> 00:45:03,320
I think the next thing to do
is get me on the board.

1022
00:45:03,361 --> 00:45:05,040
I can start my painting now.

1023
00:45:05,081 --> 00:45:07,000
Just making my skin colour.

1024
00:45:07,041 --> 00:45:08,920
I've got my large hooter there,

1025
00:45:08,961 --> 00:45:10,680
which I've always been
very proud of.

1026
00:45:12,361 --> 00:45:14,280
Ah, I look like the Joker.

1027
00:45:14,321 --> 00:45:16,520
Stop panicking, stop panicking!

1028
00:45:16,561 --> 00:45:18,960
Wow, look at you. You look a bit
like Bjork in that picture.

1029
00:45:19,001 --> 00:45:20,640
That's all right.

1030
00:45:20,681 --> 00:45:23,240
You do have a bit of a Bjorkness
to you. Has anyone ever said that?

1031
00:45:23,281 --> 00:45:25,920
No. Someone told me I looked like
Michael McIntyre once, though.

1032
00:45:28,881 --> 00:45:30,320
All my biscuits are cut out now,

1033
00:45:30,361 --> 00:45:33,520
but doing my marshmallow fondant
is a real messy business.

1034
00:45:37,161 --> 00:45:39,200
Oh! Oh, my God.

1035
00:45:39,241 --> 00:45:40,840
This looks like a horrendous mess,

1036
00:45:40,881 --> 00:45:42,800
but I'm hoping
it's gonna come together.

1037
00:45:44,401 --> 00:45:47,160
I'm starting to panic, like,
I've got some sort of shake on.

1038
00:45:48,881 --> 00:45:50,640
This is, like, a grassy bit.

1039
00:45:52,801 --> 00:45:54,360
Here's me holding a baby.

1040
00:45:54,401 --> 00:45:55,920
My hands!

1041
00:45:59,761 --> 00:46:00,880
That's beautiful.

1042
00:46:02,401 --> 00:46:03,640
Hey, Ruby. You OK?

1043
00:46:03,681 --> 00:46:05,480
I'm losing it, Noel.

1044
00:46:05,521 --> 00:46:07,720
I know, you look a bit frantic.

1045
00:46:07,761 --> 00:46:10,640
The face is coming now.
Oh, no, it's cracking.

1046
00:46:10,681 --> 00:46:12,880
Bakers, you have one minute,
just one minute.

1047
00:46:12,921 --> 00:46:14,640
Ohhh...!

1048
00:46:16,201 --> 00:46:17,800
Fondant.

1049
00:46:23,641 --> 00:46:24,840
Genius.

1050
00:46:26,601 --> 00:46:27,520
Burst pipe.

1051
00:46:29,441 --> 00:46:31,240
Oh, Rubes.

1052
00:46:34,521 --> 00:46:37,040
Bakers, your time is up!

1053
00:46:37,081 --> 00:46:38,440
Dear God.

1054
00:46:38,481 --> 00:46:41,880
That's the end of your
Showstopper challenge.

1055
00:46:41,921 --> 00:46:44,360
Oh, my goodness.

1056
00:46:44,401 --> 00:46:49,200
Please put your selfies at the end
of your workstations.

1057
00:46:49,241 --> 00:46:51,880
I just ran seriously out of time.

1058
00:46:51,921 --> 00:46:54,000
They're gonna judge it on biscuit,
right? Yeah.

1059
00:46:54,041 --> 00:46:56,480
What are you holding?

1060
00:46:56,521 --> 00:46:58,200
A baby.

1061
00:46:58,241 --> 00:46:59,800
Oh, I thought it was something else.

1062
00:47:13,072 --> 00:47:15,151
Dan, please bring up
your biscuit selfie.

1063
00:47:24,232 --> 00:47:27,151
Artistically, it's great,
colourful, three dimensional.

1064
00:47:27,192 --> 00:47:28,311
I question the baby though.

1065
00:47:28,352 --> 00:47:30,071
It looks like a massive prawn.

1066
00:47:32,832 --> 00:47:34,511
I think the colours are fantastic.

1067
00:47:34,552 --> 00:47:37,431
The palm trees are definitely
swaying in the wind.

1068
00:47:37,472 --> 00:47:38,831
You can feel the heat.

1069
00:47:41,912 --> 00:47:43,391
Certainly get the passion fruit.

1070
00:47:43,432 --> 00:47:44,831
I get the almond in there as well.

1071
00:47:44,872 --> 00:47:46,751
It's delicious,
the blend between the two.

1072
00:47:46,792 --> 00:47:47,711
It's a nice biscuit.

1073
00:47:47,752 --> 00:47:49,511
The biscuit is excellent.

1074
00:47:49,552 --> 00:47:51,351
Phew! You've done a great job.

1075
00:47:53,392 --> 00:47:54,551
I think it's amazing.

1076
00:47:54,592 --> 00:47:56,791
You can see immediately it's sunset.

1077
00:47:56,832 --> 00:47:58,791
I think you've done
a really great job.

1078
00:47:58,832 --> 00:48:00,711
The colours
are really well balanced.

1079
00:48:01,952 --> 00:48:04,111
Could do with a tiny bit more spice.

1080
00:48:04,152 --> 00:48:06,071
I thought so, yes.
But it's very nice.

1081
00:48:07,672 --> 00:48:09,511
It has a Vegas feel about it.

1082
00:48:09,552 --> 00:48:11,271
I love the depth.

1083
00:48:13,392 --> 00:48:15,951
It's not very often you get
cinnamon and orange together

1084
00:48:15,992 --> 00:48:18,551
and it works. I think the biscuit's
a bit underbaked.

1085
00:48:18,592 --> 00:48:20,191
The biscuit is a bit soft.

1086
00:48:23,192 --> 00:48:24,871
Very neat, very precise.

1087
00:48:24,912 --> 00:48:26,351
You can see it's you.

1088
00:48:28,312 --> 00:48:30,471
Well, it's certainly gingerbread.

1089
00:48:30,512 --> 00:48:33,831
You've got a gorgeous balance
between the cinnamon and the ginger.

1090
00:48:33,872 --> 00:48:35,311
Really good.

1091
00:48:38,912 --> 00:48:40,431
There's some lumpy lemon curd there.

1092
00:48:40,472 --> 00:48:42,391
Yeah, it went slightly wrong.

1093
00:48:42,432 --> 00:48:44,951
Lumpy sun.
Got a little bit overcooked.

1094
00:48:44,992 --> 00:48:47,071
The flavours are absolutely lovely.

1095
00:48:47,112 --> 00:48:49,351
I love that chocolate
with that orange and cinnamon

1096
00:48:49,392 --> 00:48:51,151
and that biscuit is spectacular.

1097
00:48:52,592 --> 00:48:55,911
Rahul, would you like to bring up
your biscuit selfie, please?

1098
00:49:01,552 --> 00:49:03,951
Well, you've certainly succeeded
with this

1099
00:49:03,992 --> 00:49:05,751
explosion of the English spring

1100
00:49:05,792 --> 00:49:07,871
and I'm fascinated by your portrait.

1101
00:49:07,912 --> 00:49:10,831
Where's the stubble on the face?
Oh, that was like 7.5 years ago.

1102
00:49:10,872 --> 00:49:13,711
I was clean-shaved at the time.
So, I'm taking it back.

1103
00:49:16,232 --> 00:49:18,631
I think
it's definitely recognisable.

1104
00:49:20,232 --> 00:49:21,991
Nice and short, isn't it?

1105
00:49:23,712 --> 00:49:24,711
Hmm.

1106
00:49:24,752 --> 00:49:28,551
The ginger comes through beautifully
in a well-baked biscuit.

1107
00:49:28,592 --> 00:49:30,591
That, with the design
that you've done,

1108
00:49:30,632 --> 00:49:32,831
even your little chubby face,
it's fantastic.

1109
00:49:32,872 --> 00:49:34,751
I think you've done a great job.
Well done.

1110
00:49:34,792 --> 00:49:35,751
Well done.
Thank you.

1111
00:49:35,792 --> 00:49:37,191
Thanks a lot, cheers.

1112
00:49:44,552 --> 00:49:47,311
You look like a cross between
Dame Edna and Su Pollard.

1113
00:49:47,352 --> 00:49:48,871
That's been said a few times.

1114
00:49:48,912 --> 00:49:50,391
Oh, really? Yes.

1115
00:49:50,432 --> 00:49:51,511
Oh, right!

1116
00:49:53,792 --> 00:49:55,631
Can't get the rosewater.

1117
00:49:55,672 --> 00:49:56,871
Really?

1118
00:49:56,912 --> 00:49:58,991
You get the cardamom
a little bit but very little,

1119
00:49:59,032 --> 00:50:00,871
you definitely can't get
the rosewater.

1120
00:50:00,912 --> 00:50:03,591
Got scared with the bottle and
obviously didn't put enough in.

1121
00:50:03,632 --> 00:50:06,111
It's a shame cos it looks great,
but you expect a bit more...

1122
00:50:06,152 --> 00:50:08,751
A bit more oomph to it. ..more kick
to it, you know. Yeah, yeah.

1123
00:50:12,512 --> 00:50:13,911
It's quite simple.

1124
00:50:15,192 --> 00:50:17,231
I'm trying to recognise you
in that picture.

1125
00:50:17,272 --> 00:50:19,951
I suppose you could say, yeah,
it is. You can't eat her!

1126
00:50:21,392 --> 00:50:23,271
He's just going to chop
your head off now.

1127
00:50:23,312 --> 00:50:26,111
Paul, it looks like
you enjoyed that a bit too much.

1128
00:50:28,712 --> 00:50:30,791
The biscuit's a little bland.

1129
00:50:32,432 --> 00:50:34,751
Quite thick and a little dry.

1130
00:50:34,792 --> 00:50:37,711
It's a bit like a stale shortbread.

1131
00:50:37,752 --> 00:50:40,671
You get the lemon,
you say ginger as well? Hm.

1132
00:50:40,712 --> 00:50:42,191
Definitely not getting the ginger.

1133
00:50:42,232 --> 00:50:44,431
OK. Thank you. Thank you.

1134
00:50:56,272 --> 00:50:58,071
I can see
what you were trying to do.

1135
00:50:58,112 --> 00:51:00,111
Yeah, was too ambitious.
I think it's too much.

1136
00:51:00,152 --> 00:51:02,951
All that work has meant that you
didn't finish yourself... Yeah.

1137
00:51:02,992 --> 00:51:05,431
..and this is supposed to be
a selfie and it's supposed to be

1138
00:51:05,472 --> 00:51:07,191
recognisable and I don't think
it quite is.

1139
00:51:07,232 --> 00:51:09,391
OK, let's try this biscuit now.

1140
00:51:09,432 --> 00:51:11,871
It's cinnamon and ginger. Yeah.

1141
00:51:15,152 --> 00:51:17,231
It's a strange taste of ginger.

1142
00:51:17,272 --> 00:51:19,871
You...you do get the cinnamon and
it's almost like

1143
00:51:19,912 --> 00:51:22,551
they're fighting each other
for supremacy. Right.

1144
00:51:22,592 --> 00:51:24,111
The biscuit's a bit soft.

1145
00:51:25,872 --> 00:51:27,191
A little bit dry.

1146
00:51:29,232 --> 00:51:31,871
Oh, you guys. It's not the best
ginger biscuit I've ever eaten.

1147
00:51:31,912 --> 00:51:33,871
It's a shame you didn't finish it.
Yeah.

1148
00:51:34,952 --> 00:51:35,951
Brutal.

1149
00:51:43,352 --> 00:51:44,951
I love the colours on it

1150
00:51:44,992 --> 00:51:47,151
and your portrait really works
as well.

1151
00:51:47,192 --> 00:51:50,191
I love the balloons. Can we
eat a balloon? Yeah, please do.

1152
00:51:53,352 --> 00:51:55,231
Nice thin icing. I like that.

1153
00:51:58,352 --> 00:52:00,511
I'd like to have had
more flavour in there. OK.

1154
00:52:00,552 --> 00:52:03,511
It's a nice biscuit -
just needed more of a punch. OK.

1155
00:52:04,952 --> 00:52:06,511
That's good.

1156
00:52:12,872 --> 00:52:13,831
Excellent!

1157
00:52:13,872 --> 00:52:16,991
Thank you. So detailed and so neat.

1158
00:52:17,032 --> 00:52:18,391
It's just exquisite.

1159
00:52:22,832 --> 00:52:27,271
I was nervous that the matcha
would be overpowering

1160
00:52:27,312 --> 00:52:29,751
but it's not at all,
it's just a hint.

1161
00:52:29,792 --> 00:52:30,951
Hm.

1162
00:52:30,992 --> 00:52:32,511
Wow.

1163
00:52:32,552 --> 00:52:34,951
The biscuit is delicious,
but the balance of flavours

1164
00:52:34,992 --> 00:52:38,151
and textures, I think you've done...
I think you've done an amazing job.

1165
00:52:38,192 --> 00:52:40,231
Well done. Really good.
Thank you, Manon.

1166
00:52:46,312 --> 00:52:48,431
Terry,
please bring up your biscuit selfie.

1167
00:52:59,992 --> 00:53:02,111
Ingenious. Oh!

1168
00:53:02,152 --> 00:53:04,671
I think your face is brilliant.

1169
00:53:06,432 --> 00:53:08,311
I've got chocolate, brandy snap,

1170
00:53:08,352 --> 00:53:10,111
buttercream and jam.

1171
00:53:10,152 --> 00:53:11,471
It's absolutely delicious.

1172
00:53:11,512 --> 00:53:13,031
Lovely.

1173
00:53:13,072 --> 00:53:15,591
It's quite tricky to work with
brandy snap in that sort of size,

1174
00:53:15,632 --> 00:53:17,991
but to manage to get
that 3D mould of your face

1175
00:53:18,032 --> 00:53:20,151
and then the colour in there
as well.

1176
00:53:20,192 --> 00:53:22,511
I think the whole thing is
very clever. Well done, Terry.

1177
00:53:22,552 --> 00:53:24,031
Well done. Thank you, Paul.
Thank you.

1178
00:53:24,072 --> 00:53:25,951
Congratulations.

1179
00:53:25,992 --> 00:53:27,591
Well done, Terry.

1180
00:53:32,552 --> 00:53:35,271
The comments were much better than
I would have hoped for,

1181
00:53:35,312 --> 00:53:38,031
to be honest, um, or expected.

1182
00:53:38,072 --> 00:53:40,151
If I've done enough,
it's a scrape through.

1183
00:53:42,232 --> 00:53:44,071
That's two pretty poor bakes.

1184
00:53:44,112 --> 00:53:45,511
Even though I've done my best,

1185
00:53:45,552 --> 00:53:47,511
I feel like I've just
let myself down.

1186
00:53:47,552 --> 00:53:51,791
I feel like I'm just
back at the bottom again.

1187
00:53:51,832 --> 00:53:54,711
I'm just hoping they can kind of see
that whatever happens,

1188
00:53:54,752 --> 00:53:57,711
this week was just
first week nerves.

1189
00:53:57,752 --> 00:54:00,311
I'm...
Yeah. Hoping for a bit of a miracle.

1190
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,680
Paul and Pru, must now decide
who will be our Star Baker,

1191
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,919
and who will be the first
to leave the tent.

1192
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,759
What a fantastic dozen we've got!

1193
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,719
Aren't they amazing? Feel like we've
got to know them quicker this time.

1194
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,479
Maybe that's just cos we've got
their portraits in front of us.

1195
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,639
So who's rising towards the top?

1196
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:27,439
Manon. The style of her baking,

1197
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,879
it's very classically French
in many ways. Yes.

1198
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,519
Everything's precision.
It's just completely wonderful.

1199
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,119
I think Briony's really impressed me
this weekend, a proper,

1200
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,399
solid Showstopper.

1201
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,399
She's definitely in line
for Star Baker as well.

1202
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,719
And who's struggling? Coming into
today, Terry was in trouble.

1203
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,479
And then he sort of pulled
a rabbit out of a hat, didn't he?

1204
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,999
That brandy snap was like
an impressionist painting.

1205
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,719
Has he done enough to save himself
over the three challenges,

1206
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,159
not just the one?

1207
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,199
Imelda, she struggled
in the technical.

1208
00:54:53,240 --> 00:54:56,559
Terrible technical. I think today
the biscuit wasn't good.

1209
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,159
I think she had a lot to prove
and I think the pressure got to her.

1210
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:03,039
Ruby, first in the technical, but
her other two were really not good.

1211
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,959
This one, she didn't finish.

1212
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,719
I think what's astonishing is
we've just met these 12

1213
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,279
and I would already be sorry to lose
any of them. Yeah. No, agreed.

1214
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:28,319
Now, I have the pleasure of
announcing the first Star Baker,

1215
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,079
the Star Baker who had
a wonderfully nutty first round

1216
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,999
and whose attention to detail
was unbelievable.

1217
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,799
The Star Baker is...

1218
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,159
..Manon.

1219
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,959
So that means it falls to me
to deliver the sad news.

1220
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,639
The person going home is...

1221
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,679
..Imelda. Aww.

1222
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:05,039
I'm so sorry.

1223
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,519
You did a great job.

1224
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,399
Oh, Lord. OK. OK? Yes.

1225
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,159
You all right? I'm so sorry.

1226
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,199
That must've been, like,
the tightest call ever.

1227
00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:20,959
I'm so sorry.

1228
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,559
Frustrated, because I know
I can do better

1229
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,039
but, at the same time, one of
the best experiences of my life.

1230
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,559
I'm sorry, Prue.
I can do so much better than that.

1231
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,879
I feel really bad,
because part of me feels like

1232
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,879
it probably should've been me.

1233
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,999
You were very lucky.
I know, I know.

1234
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:43,999
But I'm, like, completely relieved.

1235
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,079
Terry, well done.

1236
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,439
Week one done.
Kick up the backside, I guess,

1237
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,159
and so I've got to pull my socks up.

1238
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:51,319
Yes!

1239
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,439
We're through,
we're through to next week!

1240
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,439
It's been the most awesome, intense,
terrifying, wonderful weekend,

1241
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,599
and I'm really excited that
I get to do it again.

1242
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,999
Excellent work. Thank you.
Excellent. Thank you very much.

1243
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,159
More of the same, please.

1244
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,279
Papa. PHONE: Oui?

1245
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,439
Congratulations.

1246
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,839
A dream start.
We'll see what comes next.

1247
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,479
Next time, it's cake week...

1248
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,039
Ruby's stealing my ideas.

1249
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,439
Whoa! Whoa, whoa.

1250
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,319
..kicking off with
a signature tray bake...

1251
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:29,719
I really hope they taste OK.

1252
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,359
So do I, cos they look hideous.

1253
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,759
..the technical that turns
the bakers green...

1254
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,319
OK, yeah, that's the weirdest thing
I've ever done for a cake.

1255
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:37,919
..and as the temperature rises...

1256
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,119
It hasn't set.

1257
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,519
..an ambitious Showstopper
gets them hot under the collar.

1258
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:42,719
Whoa!

1259
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:45,559
Paul and Prue will be saying,
"I thought this was Art Deco."

1260
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,199
More like art nightmare.
