I no longer watch it as the things I DISLIKE most about "GBO" are the two clowns (not Paul or Pru) who add nothing and are just an irritation! I'm surprised neither of them have been punched in the face...or at least been told to "Bog off". Sue and Mel were so much better.

I like this show because everyone supports each other and there is no drama. I get so sick of all the hate and back stabbing on other shows it gets so old. This is so refreshing and happy. I love to watch it.

I was on the Great American BAking show that was filmed in a tent in London. The production staff and those that made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed are the true work horses of the tent! As for the bakers, we just had to do what we loved most ( and not try to screw it up) Plus working around the producers, hosts, judges... there were roughly 35 people in the tent at all times. The editors really know how to do their magic... All in all, it was a wonderful experience and something I will never forget. Just follow your dreams and have fun!

This may seem like a rude question, but it’s a very practical one. I’ve always wondered, if bakers are busy inside the tent for hours on end, where do they go to the bathroom? I hope they don’t have to walk back to the hotel each time since they’d be away from their baking too long, and I don’t think an outhouse would be sanitary enough when working with food. I’m just wondering because I am a senior citizen with bladder issues, but I love to bake.

​@@debpabetz9730 While filming, if we needed to go the the restroom, they would focus on other bakers and we would be escorted to the Manner house. They gave us many breaks since the filming could be 10-11 hours a day ( every other day) They gave us many days off to work on our recipes. Typically 1-2 days shooting and off a day sometimes off 2 days. In total it took a month to film the 10 episodes.

I love the British Bake Off. My mother and I watched on PBS and not only because we both love to bake, but because the people on the show were incredibly kind to one another. It is refreshing to see people competing for a cake plate and doing what they all love.

I love this show so much. I watch it with my mom and it has gotten us closer. We cheered when Rahul won, screamed when Liam was kicked off, and laughed at all the Paul jokes made. So happy this show exists.

I’m in the US where reality 🎉tv shows have become so bombastic I don’t watch too much. There always has to be some drama including screaming, backstabbing, tears etc., usually manufactured for viewers. Then I started watching Bake Off and it’s wonderful. No shouting, arguing and all that. They bakers help each other and encourage each other, they are kind to each other. I’d much rather watch a program like Bake Off. Even the hosts are all kind and you can see how it hurts them when they have to let a baker leave. I wish US tv programs were like Bake Off.

In the beginning there used to be something called Masterclass where you would watch Mary and Paul create the technical they were asking everyone to bake. I can't believe those weren't baked completely by them. Perhaps after Mary left it fell to the staff?

The KINDNESS of this show is its appeal to me!! What a shame bullying occurs. I literally started watching this show after hearing Jonathan Van Ness mention his favorite contestant on some one of the many videos I watched after obsessing over the kindness of Queer Eye.

The Great Pottery Throwdown wasn't axed, it's still going strong with the format being bought by Channel 4, the same as The Great British Bake Off, it hasn't been a BBC show for many, many years.

I love the show because of comradely of the bakers, hosts and judges. Although the judges can be harsh with their constructive criticism they are never cruel. Although Paul’s expressions can make you think he is going to tear in to someone he is never mean or rude. I enjoy trying some of the things they bake. Thanks to the show I am a huge fan of British baking and am totally in love with it! As a matter fact I am considering attempting Viennese Whirls for our family Christmas party. And of course that Silver Fox Paul Hollywood is very nice to look at! I am a big fan of his!

They never say they bake the example cakes. They just have them on the table and discuss why it is a challenge. I don't know why anyone would jump to thinking that Paul/Mary/Pru baked them. I really enjoy this show. And all the hate mail is why I left 'social' media. It is anything but social.

Such a great show! Many of my friends and family know it as my "comfort show" because I watch it whenever I need a positive pick me up, even if that means rewatching the same episode for the 20th time. It is refreshing to see a competition show where there is no negative drama, just people loving each-other and baking. I also love the "where are they now" segments at the end of each season because it shows how great the bonds are that people make in the tent.

I love the Sewing Bee AND the Pottery Throw Down, so bummed that they are not doing as well. The Great Allotment Challenge was also fun, but I cannot even imagine how expensive that was to film, since you had to cover an entire growing season.

You should have mentioned in the spin off section, the fact that many other countries have developed their own version of the show. The Great Australian Bake Off (if you ignore an abysmal first season) is just as lovely and enjoyable. Matt and Maggie (a true Aussie legend) are great judges and the show is in a shed instead of a tent. The banter between Clair and Mel very much reminds of of the banter between Sue and Mel from the first seasons of GBBO. Long story short, I absolutely love both shows and hope they continue indefinitely.

Love this show…it’s just fun and pleasant to watch.

What I’ve always liked about this show, and what brings me back, is that the bakers are always on a level playing field. The contestants know going in what they’ll be expected to bake, i.e., bread week, dessert week, and so on. There are no advantages that contestants can win, unsuitable partners aren’t forced upon them, and everyone can bake using the ingredients they wish to use. So, at the end we can be sure that whoever is crowned champion actually deserves it and did not win through luck. And all the bakers are true artists. Here in the US we’re treated to a game show atmosphere. Everyone is talented, but does the winner truly deserve it?

I love this show and how insanely well these contestants cook! I think, "I can do that!" then.... "nah" I don't have the experience or knowledge they do and they're amateurs! I have kept a list of what they make, so some day... They are always kind to each other and I really enjoy the humour- very British and seriously raunchy at times. Belly laughs are hard to come by these days.

I totally enjoy every part of this great show🎂🎂🎂

What does the GBBO really have that draws the viewers and TRUE fans? THEY ALL HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR!!! If none of these people had a sense of humor, they wouldn't be so friendly with each other, they wouldn't be able to make fun of themselves and laugh, they wouldn't be able to stand there and cry when someone leaves.......or clap their hands when someone comes back! Humor leads to the friendship, understanding, and love these people have with each other. They take life seriously, but they know life isn't a solid built road you travel on........it's got potholes, bumps, and cracks all over it. And you just deal with them as they come. If the people on this show didn't leave the audience laughing, loving, and hugging at the end of every show.........it wouldn't be the staple of awesome TV that it is.

Nice video, but small correction. It's a production company that makes GBBO, not the BBC. GBBO used to be on the BBC, but then moved to a different channel (I guess Americans would call it network). The Great Pottery Throw Down (which is chill to watch) shares a similar story: originally on BBC, then moved to a different channel.
