Channel 4’s iconic cookery competition is back with an old favourite theme tonight (September 30). See what challenges will face the bakers here.
The start time for the latest episode has been confirmed - plus when to expect An Extra Slice. Remind yourself which baker was named “one to watch” by Paul Hollywood last week.
