I am enjoying watching The Great Bristish Bake Off. Anyone else watching this show?

[Katiej]

We're watching the Great British Bake Off - it's mine and my DH's favourite show at the moment.
Yes my DH who has probably never baked anything in his life, loves this show.

[Kimmyh]

I am watching it too and enjoying it.  Can't believe how much food gets dropped on the floor!

[cookie1]

I'm watching it too and I really like it. I especially like how you get a bit of information on the foods and their history. I think it is far more professional than the Aussie one was.
