How could the quaint magic of Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, and Mary Berry ever possibly be recaptured? A task handed to the new team: hosts Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, returning judge Paul Hollywood, and new judge Prue Leith. Let's discover together how exactly the new Bake Off has turned out - live as it happens.
The first episode will see a new legion of amateur bakers take on cake week. They'll start off with a "fruity signature challenge", before shifting into the technical challenge, "a children's tea party favourite", and a final challenge in the form of "the trickiest showstopper ever set in the first week of Bake Off: an illusion cake."
Critics have already given the show glowing reviews, especially heaping praise on Noel Fielding, after some vocal critics expressed concerns that he wouldn't fit in with the style of the show.
The Great British Bake Off airs on Tuesdays at 8pm on Channel 4.
