I was about to call it a shameless rip-off of several better shows when I saw the picture. Did they just film it inside the GBBO tent when they weren't looking? Beyond shameless.

Vorderman and Grossman, together at last - I'm in.

Isn't the concept also just Britain's Best Dish spliced with that programme a few years ago where people had to design a ready meal (I forget its name)?
The font they're using also looks like a direct Bake-Off rip-off.
Still - Stacey from Masterchef...

The barefooted woman who likes doing everything out in the open looks like a very experienced dogger.
And Wales (3 million people) vs England (53 million people) does not seem like a logical regional battle.
I wouldn't want Tracey Turnblad Tweedy anywhere near my grub, unless she had a hairnet on.

These Victorian teahouse oddities, are they the teahouse who threw people out when they refused to stand for the National Anthem to be played?

No, although I suspect their tea room has equally bizarre rules. This 'loony women fancies unlikely sex symbol judge' worked better when it was The X Factor and Louis. Well, the first time.

I love that they ended up going for BOOZE on a plate.

I'm going to start tuning in so I can hear Mr M&S repeatedly being ignored when he points out the winner won't make a suitable ready meal.

The trailer for next week's indicates there's going to be some dramas over pasties, a type of rural snack made famous by the 2012 Coalition "pasty tax" debacle. I can imagine M&S having pasties on their shelves.

I specifically tried to avoid this on account of how awful it looked, but ended up catching a few minutes of it (plus Charlie Brooker's takedown of it). If ever you needed proof of what a fucking shitshower Syco are, this is it.
The shamelessness of how much they're ripping off the Great British Bake-Off is ridiculous. And I can't take that weird Frankenstein's Gizzi experiment even remotely seriously. I barely even got as far as the food itself.
I'm going to stop now, before I launch into one of my rants about how TV commissioners today are the worst creatures on Earth.

If you ignore the fact thats is nothing more than a shameless cash in on a more popular show on a different channel then its actually quite entertaining, its no GBBO but it would be a perfectly inoffensive show if it was on at 6:00pm on BBC2 or The Food Network.

Does anyone know if old Voldermort's nose drama helped boost the ratings for this?
If only M&S could have signed a deal with something Paul Hollywood related.

Has this finished yet? What won / looks likely to win?
