The Great British Baking Show

...is back with its formula unchanged and a new, almost teeth-achingly sweet dozen of culinary klutzes.

...an entertainingly polite show full of endless close-up images of sweet and savory oven-fresh goods and lots of recipe ideas and advice to try at home.

Joyous TV that shows no signs of staleness.

Paul Hollywood doles out handshakes like cheap mini-muffins.

What an emotional rollercoaster.

It's Cake Week, baby!
