What time does Bake Off start today?
The Great British Bake Off will be back for the seventh episode of its 16th series this evening (October 13). It is continuing to air on Tuesday nights, the spot it has occupied since the season began back at the start of September.
Channel 4 has confirmed that the latest episode will start at 8pm, as usual. It is another slightly shorter episode at 75 minutes, which comes as just six bakers remain in the tent.
Bake Off will finish at 9.15pm and will be followed by Worlds Apart. The reality show is the broadcaster’s rival to Race Across the World.
What week is it on Bake Off?
For the seventh trip into the tent, The Great British Bake Off is doing something new once again. The famous baking show has whipped up meringue week with three challenges all revolving around the iconic dessert.
Despite featuring in the show previously, it is the first time that meringues have been the main focus of a week. The preview, via Radio Times, teases: “Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding present a Bake Off first as the contestants face meringue week, starting off by making mini meringue tarts in the signature, before the more delicate task of soufflés in the technical.
“To end, judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith challenge them to produce a showstopping meringue ice cream cake - before deciding which of the hopefuls hasn't quite come up with the goods.”
