I absolutely LOVE Bake Off! There are not enough words to describe how much I love watching it. I first saw Bake Off when I was heading home on a British Airways flight six years ago (yes, I remember), and have been hooked every since. I did prefer when it was aired on PBS, rather than Netflix here in the US.
I am super confused as to why the name of this show was changed to 'Baking Show'. I still call it Bake Off because it's the fricken name.
The challenges are fun, and the casts each year are super entertaining. While I did really like Mel and Sue as the presenters, I love Noel, and my brother and I constantly hunt for The Mighty Boosh references (Old Gregg reference are our fav). I think Matt Lucas was a good choice for this series, but I'm still lukewarm on him.

Have to admit I've always been a fan of Matt Lucas so I'm loving him on this. I've laughed so much at the current series!

Is this just a habit watch now?
I think watching this has become a habit rather than a much watch programme there are funny bits and some challenges are enjoyable but it's just feels samey.

Love baking shows
I could watch baking competition shows all day and night. They did an American version of this show which wasn't as good. Just found this on Netflix and I am hooked.

@Andy K I love this show however I’m sorry but I had to edit the title, not sure what it’s called on Netflix in the US but it’s definitely called The Great British Bake Off over here...

Your dead inside of you don't love GBBO
How do you not live this show!? It's everything you need in a baking show. The fun of a competition without the nastiness of your typical American based shows. They're pleasant and kind while still acknowledging shortcomings in the baked goods. The outtakes happen in real-time and hilarity is classic British style perfection. And the food... beautifully delicious creations that I dream of trying. If only I was a stronger baker. Watch this show... you won't regret it.

"I’m late to this party but my life is immeasurably improved with the presence of this sunny, good-spirited TV show about regular people with very special skills. Quite literally a show I can watch with the whole family and talk about for hours later."

Love watching the creativity. Learning new baking terms, learning new tricks. (0 more)
Sometime's the judges are unfair. Not everyone is a classically trained baker. (0 more)
