1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,000
It was The Great British
Bake Off semifinal.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,000
This is manic.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
The bakers were determined
to stay in the tent...

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
There's a bit of rivalry going on
here. I can hear you whispering!

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
..what ever it took.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Oh! Bakers, two hours left.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Are you doing me out of a job, mate?

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Do you want us to come and bake for you?

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Honestly, don't you hate it when
people try and do your job for you?

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
It's time for An Extra Slice.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Hello and welcome to the show.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
So, no prizes for guessing which
baker left the tent this week.

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Selasi, of course.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
AUDIENCE: Aw!

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
He's just popped over to
Gardeners' World to show Monty Don

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
how to prune a shrub, then
he'll be straight back.

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
But at the start of the
semifinals, it was all to play for.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
When it came to judging the technical,

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Paul seemed to have become
completely invisible to Mary.

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
A little bit over baked still.

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
LAUGHTER

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And in first place is this one.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
While, at the start of the fondant
fancy Showstopper, Paul excitedly

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
listed the huge range of flavours
the bakers could choose from.

27
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
To bring flavours into a
fondant fancy, you could use

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
a caramel, you could use a toffee,

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
you could use a caramel.

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
LAUGHTER

31
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Meanwhile, Andrew was in
some discomfort having put

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
too much starch in with his jeans wash.

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
LAUGHTER

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And the ever patient Mary
continued to show sympathy

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
for Paul's ongoing hay fever symptoms.

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
PAUL SNEEZES

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
LAUGHTER

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
So, we now know who our
three Bake Off finalists are,

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
and the title could
go to any one of them.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Yes, it's congratulations
to Andrew, Candice and Jane.

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
But we've all got to start somewhere.

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Amy from Ormskirk made some
chocolate orange cupcakes

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
inspired by this rather
inviting looking example.

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Amy thinks she might have added
slightly too much baking powder,

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
so they didn't come out
looking exactly the same.

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
LAUGHTER

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
As Amy told us, "We're
students, we still ate them."

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,000
LAUGHTER

50
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
More of those later.

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
And I'm delighted to see so many
of our studio audience have been

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
getting busy with patisserie.
Show us your bakes!

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
CHEERING

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Our panel will be trying
some of those a bit later,

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
so let's meet them while
they're still...here.

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
First up, none other than the
reigning Bake Off champion,

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000
who went on to bake a birthday cake
for the Queen, it's Nadiya Hussain.

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Next, it's the leader of
the Scottish Conservatives,

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
who says she'll eat
parsnips with anything.

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
It's Ruth Davidson.

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And finally, a comedian who
reckons if he was in the tent,

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Paul and Mary would treat
him with profound respect,

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
it's Tom Allen.

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

67
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
So, Nadiya, what did the Queen
say about your cake? Not much.

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Apparently she doesn't say very much.

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
But I went up to her and I showed
her the cake, and she said,

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
"What tier does one cut?"

71
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
That was it, that was the sentence I got.

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
I was so starstruck when I met her.

73
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
I kind of fluffed my three lines
that I had, completely fluffed them.

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I was meant to say, "Happy
birthday, Your Majesty."

75
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And I said, "Good afternoon,
Your Highness," instead.

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
LAUGHTER

77
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Ruth, tell us, why are you
so partial to parsnips?

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I think it's an underrated vegetable.

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I want to make sure... There is
nothing that doesn't taste good

80
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
that's made with a parsnip. Parsnip
soup, parsnip crisps, parsnip...

81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
The stuff that they smear on
plates on the posh cooking shows.

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Everything tastes good with parsnips.

83
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The problem I have with
parsnips is they're sneaky,

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Machiavellian little narnas!

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Because they sit in a roasting pan
pretending to be roast potatoes.

86
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
LAUGHTER

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
And then you bite into one,

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
and it's the biggest
disappointment in my life...almost.

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Now, Tom, why do you think Paul
and Mary would treat you with

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
profound respect? Why
are you so special, Tom?

91
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Well, I've always had this sense
that... Well, ever since I was

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
a teenager, I was very
good at food technology.

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
My chicken fricassee was
the best in my class.

94
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
LAUGHTER

95
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I spent a lot of my
teenage years baking as

96
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
a means of distracting
myself from my sexuality.

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
And I do recommend it to anybody.

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
If you're not sure about
coming out or whatever,

99
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
just channel it into baking.

100
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
By the time I was 16, I could
have opened a Greggs. But...

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
LAUGHTER

102
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Yeah, so I've been
interested for a long time.

103
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Time now to find out if any
of our viewers are good enough

104
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
to bake for the Queen.

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Let's start off with a polenta
cake made by Holly from London.

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
It's flavoured with
oranges and lemons and

107
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
has white chocolate chips
and blueberries inside.

108
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Oh, and it goes without
saying that on top,

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Holly's done an offshore wind farm.

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
LAUGHTER

111
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Ironically, Holly used up quite
a lot of energy producing that.

112
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
LAUGHTER

113
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
It can be really helpful to have
a picture of the bake you're

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
aiming for as a reference.

115
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Kerry from Dorset enthusiastically
set out to produce this very

116
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
attractive raspberry and cream sponge,

117
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
with its well-defined layers and
distinct colours of red and white.

118
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And the picture really helped
because, after a lot of hard work,

119
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Kerry was able to produce this.

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
LAUGHTER

121
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Meanwhile, in Newport
Pagnell, Malcolm and Andy were

122
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
determined to make these cheeky
looking monkey cupcakes for

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
a baby's christening party.

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
They used chocolate drops for
the eyes and jam for the mouth,

125
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
but apart from that, you wouldn't
really notice the difference.

126
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
LAUGHTER

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
When Isabel from Surrey went
off to university recently,

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000
her family wanted to make sure
she wasn't missing her terrier,

129
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Dexter, too much. Here's
Dexter. AUDIENCE: Aw!

130
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Mum Maria and siblings Amy and
Mikey opted for a chocolate sponge

131
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
covered with buttercream to
capture Dexter's perky little face.

132
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
LAUGHTER

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Isabel is studying law, so at
some point in the future she can

134
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
qualify as a barrister and sue them.

135
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
LAUGHTER

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
We love seeing your photos.

137
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And there's still one week to
go. So keep sending them in.

138
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Details at the bottom of the screen.

139
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Now, let's remind ourselves what
happened when Patisserie Week

140
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
arrived in the tent.

141
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
It was the Bake Off semifinal
with just four bakers remaining.

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Semifinal.

143
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
It's just so empty in here.

144
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
The pressure was on in
the palmier Signature...

145
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Feeling it here today.

146
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Butterflies.

147
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
..when the judges got
tough over perfect puff.

148
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
They are underbaked. It's not good.

149
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
The bakers had everything to
prove in the savarin Technical...

150
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Wowee.

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Smells amazing.

152
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
..before tackling fondant fancies
in the nerve-racking Showstopper.

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I don't think I'll ever make these again.

154
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Andrew won Star Baker
for a second time...

155
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Yes!

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Selasi...

157
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
..and Selasi left the tent...

158
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Get off! I want him! Get off him! Aw!

159
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
..leaving Andrew, Candice
and Jane to battle it out

160
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,000
in the 2016 Great British Bake Off final.

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
APPLAUSE

162
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
There is a lot of love for Selasi,

163
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
but was he the right person
to go, Nadiya, do you think?

164
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
They always say, when you are in the tent

165
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
they always say it's
about the bakes THAT week.

166
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
And if you look at the
bakes this week, then, yes,

167
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
he was the right person.

168
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
I didn't want him to go, but, yes.

169
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Yeah, I think, on the bakes,
it probably was him to go,

170
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
but I was so sad cos he was my favourite.

171
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
From the moment in the very
first episode that he pulled up

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
on a motorbike looking like
a reject from The Apprentice

173
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
and took the leather jacket off and
came out with the pinstriped suit,

174
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I just... You know, and then he
was just so laid-back and chilled

175
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
throughout the whole thing.

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
He's my favourite contestant, apart
from yourself, for many years.

177
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
I... I really loved Selasi. And
I was really sorry to see him go.

178
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
But I think he did have to
go because he was too nice.

179
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
And I think at this
point in the competition,

180
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
if you look around the rest of the tent,

181
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,000
it's a dog-eat-dog world in there
and he would have got torn apart.

182
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
But I do think Jane reminds me of
a character from a prison drama.

183
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
LAUGHTER

184
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
You could imagine it,
can't you, in something?

185
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Especially with Candice as well...

186
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Started going, "Oh, I
can hear you whispering!"

187
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Someone shouting that down
the landings on D Wing.

188
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
"Watch out for Jane. She's
a real tough cookie!"

189
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000
And then that night you see cake
smeared all over your bedsheets.

190
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And she's... I think... I think
she's tough. I think they're both...

191
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
They're all quite tough.
We even saw it with Andrew.

192
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
They're at each other. So I do think
it's a very violent place in there.

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000
And because I love Selasi,
I'm glad he's out of there.

194
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
LAUGHTER

195
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
As we've seen, Selasi started
doing Mel and Sue's job for them,

196
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
and then when it came to his
Signature, he was at it again.

197
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Tell us all about your... Palmiers.

198
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Um, I'm making... You're
finishing my sentences!

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
He's getting ahead of himself!

200
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
It's as almost as if he's heard
there are some jobs going.

201
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
LAUGHTER

202
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
APPLAUSE

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Selasi decided to go for
butterfly-shaped palmiers

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
flavoured with salmon,
spinach and sun-dried tomato.

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And whilst the flavours were good,
some of the palmiers were raw.

206
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Did the flavours appeal to you?
Sounds delicious. Spinach, salmon...

207
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
All the flavours sound great.

208
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
But pastry and... They're quite
wet. It's quite a wet filling,

209
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
so he could have perhaps gone
for a slightly drier filling,

210
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
and then, you know, the last
thing you need is soggy pastry.

211
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And, you know, Paul and
Mary don't miss a trick,

212
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
so you've got to be really careful. Yeah.

213
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
I think he'd be fine if
they weren't judging it!

214
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,000
If anyone wasn't judging it I
think they'd be absolutely fine.

215
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Ruth, are you a fan of salmon?

216
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Or do you prefer sturgeon?

217
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
LAUGHTER

218
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,000
I was very pleased to see that
Selasi was baking his own salmon

219
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
rather than getting stuff that
was pre-smoked from the shop.

220
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000
But... But, yeah, I have to say
his dough did look a bit raw,

221
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
so I'm not sure I would have
been totally on board with that.

222
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Selasi brought a lot to the tent.

223
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Great flavours, great personality

224
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
and a great flair for
accessorising with a tea towel.

225
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000
LAUGHTER

226
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Lovely to see Val there in the background

227
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
busily not making whatever
it was she was meant to!

228
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
LAUGHTER

229
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
So the Star Baker in
semifinal week was Andrew,

230
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
winning the honour for a second time.

231
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Andrew himself looked surprised
to hear his name called out.

232
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
LAUGHTER

233
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Do you think he deserved it, Tom?

234
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
I think he works with great
precision, I think he's...

235
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
I think he's very good at what he does.

236
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
I think he's got a murderous streak...

237
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000
You see it when they went up to him and
said, you know, "What are you going to do?

238
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
"If you're going to be the only bloke in
here, who's it going to be? You or Selasi?"

239
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
He said, "Well, it'll have to be me."

240
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And so I don't think we should
trust him. And... And...

241
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
But I think he's done very well.

242
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Yeah, I thought it was a good
week for baking for him, yeah.

243
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
He reminds me of...

244
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
our year's Ian. He is so
clever with his bakes.

245
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
It's more than baking for him.

246
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000
He creates outside of the bake
and that's what I love about him.

247
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
And I can imagine everybody in
there is really nervous of him,

248
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
because I remember in our
year when Ian would...

249
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
He would be like, "So I'm doing this."

250
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
And he'd whack something out
and it would be just like...

251
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,000
It moves and lays eggs and...
He does all this fancy stuff.

252
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And I used to look at him
and think, "I can't do that."

253
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Ruth, how did you feel about
Andrew winning Star Baker?

254
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
I mean, is it like the Brexit referendum?

255
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
You know, a very close call and
you don't agree with the result,

256
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
but Star Baker means Star Baker?

257
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
LAUGHTER

258
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I think that I would have
been on the side of Andrew

259
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
winning it this week as well. I
think it was quite close, actually.

260
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,000
But, no, I mean, he brings
quite a lot to the tent.

261
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And he definitely has
a different approach.

262
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Um, but I don't think the
girls should be scared of him.

263
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Because just like you took
Ian down to Chinatown,

264
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
I think it is pretty close
for the final as well.

265
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
I think either of them, any
of them, actually, could win.

266
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Tom, is neatness always a good quality?

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Absolutely. Without fail.

268
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
It's precision. You cannot... You
cannot give Mary a sloppy palmier.

269
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,000
You cannot give Paul an
ill-formed fondant fancy.

270
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
It's the semifinal. Come on.
It's The Great British Bake Off.

271
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Andrew went with a musical
theme for his fondant fancies.

272
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
We know he loves musicals,

273
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
and as we can see in this
bit of unseen footage,

274
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
he's quite the crooner.

275
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
HE SINGS INDISTINCTLY

276
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
♪ Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo... ♪

277
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
MALE VOICE-OVER

278
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
'And get Val's hit single...'

279
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
LAUGHTER

280
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

281
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Let's talk about Jane.

282
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Now, in the Showstopper, Jane
went for heart-shaped fancies

283
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
flavoured with pistachio and raspberry.

284
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Her second batch were
flavoured with lemon.

285
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
She mixed up her fondant carefully,

286
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
if thrashing it about with a massive
whisk is mixing it up carefully.

287
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
NADIYA: Oh!

288
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Let's just hope she never gets a
job on the paint counter at Dulux.

289
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
And she had a novel method for
applying the fondant to the fancy

290
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
using a potato masher.

291
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Nadiya, are you a dipper,
a dunker or a pourer?

292
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
I am a sideway dunker. So
I stick them on my finger

293
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
with some fondant and then I go sideways.

294
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
And you do it... You have to
do it all in one quick motion.

295
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
That's... That is how I do it.

296
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000
That sounds complicated. It is. It's...

297
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Just...buy them.

298
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
LAUGHTER

299
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
APPLAUSE

300
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
It all seemed a bit weird.

301
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
She sort of went, "Oh, I'll put it
on a potato masher and dip it in."

302
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
She wasn't sure if it would work or not.

303
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
And yet she still did it, which I
thought was very foolhardy of her.

304
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
She knew the risks and she said,

305
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
"It's a risk, but it's worth taking."

306
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Well, I'm afraid, Jane, it wasn't!

307
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Well, Candice displayed her
palmiers in an old bird cage.

308
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Her chocolate, praline and
cherry Bakewell fondant fancies

309
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
were displayed around a mini piano.

310
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
What do you think of
her presentation, Tom?

311
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
It all just seems a bit nonsensical.
Having a palmier in a bird cage...

312
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Bird cage hasn't got
anything to do with palmiers.

313
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
I mean, it's all very appetising until you
have to get one off the bottom of the cage.

314
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Nobody wants that one! LAUGHTER

315
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
And then she wheels out
her fondant fancies with

316
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
a piano next to them for no
reason. I mean, it's a baking show.

317
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
It's not an Elton John-themed
episode of Cash In The Attic.

318
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
LAUGHTER

319
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
As usual, Candice created
work for herself by baking

320
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
two different genoise sponges.

321
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I mean, is it a good
strategy to keep doing more

322
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
than is actually asked of you?

323
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
If you can pull it off,
then absolutely do it.

324
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Because she has done that
from the very beginning.

325
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
You know, she's pushed herself.

326
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
She's done more than she's needed
to. But she's pulled it off.

327
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
She is so ambitious. And you
can tell she really wants it.

328
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
She's got that pathological glint
in her eye. And, yeah, I just...

329
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I really like her
Showstoppers. I like her bakes.

330
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
I would love her to come
through and...to win it.

331
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Who would you like to hand
your crown over to, Nadiya?

332
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
I could not possibly give
you a name at all. No way.

333
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Is it Jane?

334
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
I'm not going to... I just...
I think either of them.

335
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Andrew? I think...

336
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,000
LAUGHTER

337
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
I think any of them...
Candice? I think...

338
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
I think... No. Any... Look, I
think... I think that... It's...

339
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
When it gets to this stage
it's really hard to tell

340
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
who is going to win. It's
about what happens on the day.

341
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
But... I think any of them could win.

342
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Well, it's time now to take a
look at the bakes brought along

343
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
by our audience. Susan, where are you?

344
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Hi, Susan. Now, what
have you brought along?

345
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
I've brought one of your five a day. Oh.

346
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
But it's a variety you might like.

347
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Which is? They've all got cake inside.

348
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
AUDIENCE GASPS Are they all just cakes?

349
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
They are cakes, honest. You
haven't hollowed out a pear and...

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
LAUGHTER

351
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
I promise, they're all cake. Wow.

352
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
How long did that take you to paint them?

353
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
It was a long day yesterday!

354
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
What's around the outside of them, then?

355
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Marzipan. Oh, dear.

356
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
LAUGHTER

357
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Are the flavours the same as the
fruit that they're... They are.

358
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
..representing? Wow. Fantastic.

359
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Thanks. They look absolutely
incredible. Well done.

360
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Now, Helen, where are you? Hi,
Helen. Tell us about your cake.

361
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Well, we've brought a tribute
to Candice and her lipstick.

362
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
OK. Oh, gosh. Oh!

363
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
What sort of cake is that?

364
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
It's a vanilla sponge with
vanilla buttercream and fondant.

365
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And then we've painted some
metallic paint on, which is edible.

366
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Was that difficult to do?

367
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
It was tricky. It was a
team effort, wasn't it?

368
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
I left the tricky bits to my mum.

369
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000
What were the tricky bits that you
had to do, Mum? Making the cake?

370
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Oh, OK. Yeah. LAUGHTER

371
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
That's lovely.

372
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
On to Becky. Where are you, Becky?

373
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Now, you've had a go at this week's
Technical, I believe? I have.

374
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
It's a savarin. Wow.

375
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Chocolate, blackberry
and liquorice flavour.

376
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
And it's got a liquorice and
blackberry liqueur syrup over it.

377
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
It looks absolutely stunning.

378
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Crikey. Have you got your own show?

379
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
LAUGHTER Well done, Becky.
Thanks very much indeed.

380
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
APPLAUSE Thank you.

381
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Joyce, where are you?

382
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Tell us about your patisserie.

383
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
There's quite a lot of it.

384
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Quite a lot of it. Yes.

385
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000
There's blue cheese gougere
at the top. There's eclairs.

386
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000
They've got candied bacon
and cheddar cheese in.

387
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
And there's candied bacon
and dark chocolate tarts

388
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000
with caramel with pork scratchings.

389
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
LAUGHTER

390
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Crikey. So they all look
sweet but they're all savoury?

391
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
So, Nadiya, if you have the top
and, Ruth, can you have the middle,

392
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
which is the chilli and bacon eclair? OK.

393
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
And, Tom... You get the enormous
one. The one at the bottom.

394
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
I don't mind trying a bit of that.

395
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Do I get a pastry fork or anything?

396
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Oh, Tom! Honestly.

397
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
LAUGHTER

398
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Thank you. Thank you. What
do you think of yours, Ruth?

399
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Um, it's weird, because
it is proper choux pastry,

400
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
so it tastes like it should
have chocolate on the top

401
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
and cream in the middle, creme pat
in the middle. But it's pretty good.

402
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
It's nice, yeah. The
choux pastry is great.

403
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
You've got a lovely hollow in the centre,

404
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
and it tastes like a big
cheese puff. It's delicious.

405
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
I've never had anything like it.

406
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
It's like... It's a chocolate
tart with a bit of bacon on top.

407
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
In a good way.

408
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
I'm not saying it's not
good. It's quite unusual.

409
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Is that quite common to
combine? Are you mad?

410
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
LAUGHTER

411
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
What's that cream stuff? What's
that on the bottom? It's cream.

412
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
That is cream? LAUGHTER

413
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Yes, weird.

414
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
But lovely.

415
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Thank you very much
indeed, Joyce. Thank you.

416
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,000
And thanks very much to
all our studio bakers.

417
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Back now to the tent
and time to meet a baker

418
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,000
who is also a banker and a
biker, a man who stayed chilled

419
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
even when his bakes
were slightly charred.

420
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Will you please give a
warm welcome to Selasi?

421
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
CHEERING

422
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
That's nice. Very nice. Now, it's
lovely to have you with us, Selasi.

423
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Congratulations for making it to
the semifinals. How did that feel?

424
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000
It felt really great, actually.
I enjoyed the whole process.

425
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,000
And it was the best thing ever.

426
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000
What's been your family's reaction
to seeing you in the tent?

427
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
They've been really great.
My dad actually still thinks

428
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
the show is going on. So every
week he messages me and says,

429
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
"You should do better than this."

430
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
LAUGHTER

431
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
You know, but it was great, yeah.
Bless him. Yeah, they're happy. Aw!

432
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Let's remind ourselves what you told
us as you went into semifinal week.

433
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000
I had a funny dream, right? Um...

434
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
that I made it to the final
and I baked in a dress.

435
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
So...

436
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
if I make it to the final this
week, then it looks like I'm going

437
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000
to have to be baking in a dress,
a nice floral dress, actually.

438
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
So you had a dream that
you baked in a dress? Yes.

439
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
It's not exactly Martin
Luther King, but...

440
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
LAUGHTER

441
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Having said that, I think we're
all disappointed... I know.

442
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
I'm disappointed. ..not to
get to see you in it. Yeah.

443
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Would you have done? Yeah, of course.

444
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
With a lace strap or
something. Yeah. Definitely.

445
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Now, as you went into
the palmier Signature,

446
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
you seemed to be actually
really feeling the pressure.

447
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Now, might it have taken
some of the pressure off

448
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
if you'd bothered to
practise them at home?

449
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
LAUGHTER

450
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000
No comment. LAUGHTER

451
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
You're going to do well. Um...

452
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
In the fondant fancy Showstopper,

453
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
you made a startling confession to Mary.

454
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Let's have a look at that.

455
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
I never really sieve
my flour, even at home.

456
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
If you don't sieve your flour,

457
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000
sometimes you get pockets of
flour.. Yeah. ..in the genoise.

458
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
LAUGHTER

459
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Now, a bit of a glare there
from Mary, but well done, you,

460
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
cos you stood your ground. So let's
see who finally blinked first.

461
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
CROWD CHEERING

462
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Come on, Selasi! Mary! Come on, Mary!

463
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Selasi! Mary, Mary, Mary!

464
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000
You can do it, Mary!

465
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
DING, DING!

466
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,000
CROWD CHEERING

467
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
I declare Mary the winner there.
Yeah. She's always going to win.

468
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Do you sieve your flour now?

469
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Not really.

470
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
LAUGHTER

471
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Sorry, Mary.

472
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,000
In Dessert Week,

473
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,000
you stunned the judges with your
lemon and strawberry roulade

474
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
when Paul pronounced your
sponge the star of the show.

475
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000
I have to say, what I loved
about it was your presentation.

476
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
What made you serve your
roulade a photo frame?

477
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
LAUGHTER

478
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000
So, we all know Candice has
been the, you know... Oh, yes.

479
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
She's been great at, you
know, presenting her stuff on,

480
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
you know, pianos and all
that kind of stuff. And...

481
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
there was a pressure there.

482
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
cos I was just using chopping
boards and slates, etc.

483
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
And then I thought, "Actually,
let's try to be Candice."

484
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
So I went into a shop... Right.

485
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
..saw it and said, "Actually,
this is quite great

486
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
"and, I guess, ingenious." I don't
know, however you want to call it.

487
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Um...

488
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Presented on it,

489
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
got it cleaned by the guys in
the kitchen, by the kitchen,

490
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
and then returned it after.

491
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
LAUGHTER

492
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
And, presumably, they had no
idea where it had been? No, no.

493
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I kept the price tag on and everything.

494
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
LAUGHTER

495
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000
I don't need a photo frame.
No, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

496
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Well, another highlight came in
Batter Week when you received

497
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
a Hollywood handshake... Yes.

498
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
..for your Yorkshire puddings...

499
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
and especially your cracking crackling.

500
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
They taste amazing. Thank you.

501
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
That crackling is spot on. Thank
you. Well done, Selasi. Thank you.

502
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000
You've had a handshake.
That's the first today.

503
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
What was it like to receive
the coveted handshake?

504
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Um...

505
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,000
I don't know what to say now.

506
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
But I genuinely had
butterflies in my stomach.

507
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
It sounds wrong, but I did. I did.
I had butterflies in my stomach.

508
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Really? Yeah, it was...

509
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Cos I just went in and just thought,
"Let's try it," and just went for it.

510
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
And he absolutely loved
it and it was great. Yeah.

511
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
And who's got the firmer
grip? You or Paul?

512
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Hands down - me.

513
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
LAUGHTER

514
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Now, in Biscuit Week you
made lime and chilli biscuits

515
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
in the shape of your motorbike.

516
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,000
And when the time came to
arrange them ready for judging,

517
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
in this bit of unseen footage

518
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
you said what anyone would
say in that situation.

519
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
It's time to chop my slate.

520
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
LAUGHTER

521
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Why did you have to chop your slate?

522
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Why didn't you just bring a
plate-sized bit of slate with you?

523
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
I brought one, but it was too
small cos my biscuits were...

524
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
..big, basically. So... Big biscuits?

525
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Yeah, so I brought an
extra slate just in case.

526
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
And, obviously, BBC, being
health and safety conscious,

527
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I had to wear gloves and everything.

528
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
It's like something out
of Poldark. I mean...

529
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
LAUGHTER

530
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Well, here on An Extra Slice, we
do like to give you the opportunity

531
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
to have another go at a bake that
didn't quite go to plan in the tent.

532
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
So what have you brought
with you? My savarin.

533
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Oh!

534
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
ALL EXCLAIM

535
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Wow. So, would you
like to try some, guys?

536
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Have you segmented your
orange pieces this time?

537
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I tried to, but... Who
does...? But who does that?

538
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
LAUGHTER

539
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Who does that? You're so right there.

540
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000
It's evenly baked. And I know...

541
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I know what it's like to be in that
tent, and they say, "Here you go,"

542
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
and you have to make this.

543
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
And really you need a
lot more time to do it.

544
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
That's evenly baked and... The
alcohol is right the way through it.

545
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Is it? Yeah. Mm-hm.

546
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
The caramel is perfect, though.

547
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Tom? It's wicked, yeah.

548
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
LAUGHTER

549
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Did you think about putting
maybe a piece of bacon in it?

550
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
LAUGHTER

551
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
So, I think a thumbs up all round
there. Well done, Selasi. Yeah.

552
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Congratulations. APPLAUSE

553
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Now, we're so sorry to see you go

554
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
because we've loved
watching you in the tent.

555
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000
We've made you one of our special cakes.

556
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Tom, don't look so worried.

557
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000
LAUGHTER

558
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Brilliant. Well done. I mean, can
you imagine...if I dropped it?

559
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
All right. There we go. Great.

560
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Thank you, Tom. OK, here we go.

561
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000

566
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
it wouldn't be you without a
tea towel over your shoulder.

567
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
So...will you please give
Selasi a Great British send-off?

that? Yeah. OK. Thanks, Selasi.

00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000
That's it for this week.
