Bread Week was The Great British Bake Off at its best.
A ridiculously enjoyable mix of incredible, sophisticated, creations and indefensibly adolescent innuendo. It certainly had more puns about buns than a festival of Carry On films.
Contestants had ‘fantastic buns’, ‘massive buns’, even ‘buns that looked nice but were sticky round the edges’ – which no one wants and probably requires a visit to the doctor.
Puns for buns: Bread Week was The Great British Bake Off at its best. A ridiculously enjoyable mix of incredible, sophisticated, creations and indefensibly adolescent innuendo. It certainly had more puns about buns than a festival of Carry On films
Frankly it was hard to say which was better: the cooking or the comments.
There’s just something about bread that makes Bread Week vintage Bake Off. In theory it could because everyone likes bread.
We live in a country where toast is part of the culture – a staple of our daily diet and practically a national delicacy that sustains us through childhood/education, before or after work, into old age.
On the other hand the bread the contestants were producing was not like anything we had ever made, or even seen, before.

The bakers were buzzing about Bread Week, the way footballers do about the Cup Final.
‘It’s Bread Week. I’m excited!’ Kim-Joy beamed, summing up the mood. ‘Bread’s my thing, so I really feel the pressure to do well.’
‘I love eating bread!’ Ruby announced, as if this was controversial, going so far as to claim: ‘a lot of people have turned their back on eating bead recently but not me!’
Manon picked up the baton, showing it wasn’t just us Brits either. ‘Do the French make the best bread in the world? Yes they do!’

Part of what made Bread Week ‘special’ was knowing that they were going to be judged by Paul Hollywood.
‘Paul is Captain Bread,’ as Noel Fielding put it. ‘He sleeps in a bap.’
He had, of course, chosen this week’s first Challenge: Chelsea buns – ‘a bit of a speciality of mine.’
There was no need to boast – especially about something that is a fairly niche area of expertise.
Even he had probably never seen Chelsea buns like those the Bakers came up with.
Confident: Manon picked up the baton, showing it wasn’t just us Brits either. ‘Do the French make the best bread in the world? Yes they do!’

Kim-Joy for instance, even declared 'it will be nice to explain something new to Paul about bread!’ using the Tangzhong technique’ which sounded like something from the Karma Sutra or a yoga position.
After this episode of the Bake Off it’s safe to say the Chelsea buns they sell in Greggs will never seem the same again. They will always be spectacularly inadequate.
Dan’s Chelsea buns for example had brandy-soaked sultanas while Antony’s were not blessed with a ‘cinnamon and peanut butter’ filling but glazed with ‘boozy caramel.’
Jon had made ‘salted caramel and pecan flavoured Chelsea buns, capped off with an ‘unusual’ topping that left Prue Leith almost lost for words: marshmallows.
‘That sounds really…’
‘Delicious!’ the voice in our head screamed.
‘Disgusting…’ she finally decided (madly).
Delight: Dan’s Chelsea buns for example had brandy-soaked sultanas while Antony’s were not blessed with a ‘cinnamon and peanut butter’ filling but glazed with ‘boozy caramel’
Interesting: Jon had made ‘salted caramel and pecan flavoured Chelsea buns, capped off with an ‘unusual’ topping that left Prue Leith almost lost for words: marshmallows. ‘That sounds really…’
Fillings/flavours in other Bakers’ buns included: ‘strawberry and Balsamic vinegar’ (Briony), pistachio and cardamom’ (Kim-Joy), ‘apricot, cranberry, and Chai tea’ (Manon), and ‘sweet mango chutney with cranberry and Bengali five spice’ (Rahul of course).
‘That filling is stunning,’ Paul Hollywood told him. ‘Very clever.’
Earlier he had teased the young Indian for being so nervous his hands were actually shaking.
‘Come on ! You were Star Baker last week!’ Hollywood reminded him, before laughing: ‘then again, there’s only one way to go from there!’
Thrilled: Fillings/flavours in other Bakers’ buns included: ‘strawberry and Balsamic vinegar’ (Briony), pistachio and cardamom’ (Kim-Joy), ‘apricot, cranberry, and Chai tea’ (Manon), and ‘sweet mango chutney with cranberry and Bengali five spice’ (Rahul of course). ‘That filling is stunning,’ Paul Hollywood told him. ‘Very clever’
Gone: Antony was not so lucky and became the third contestant to go home. Unfortunately, Hollywood told him, his buns were ‘dry’ – the kind of personal observation/pun that quickly became de rigeur in the Signature round when he challenged them to make Chelsea buns
Not necessarily. Not if you were Star Baker again, as Rahul was.
Antony was not so lucky and became the third contestant to go home.

Briony had ‘pretty buns’ for example while ‘Kim-Joy’s buns were perfect.’
Terry had ‘beautiful soft buns’ (which was nice) but Jon’s ‘spongy buns’ the new ‘soggy bottom.’
Perfect: Briony had ‘pretty buns’ for example while ‘Kim-Joy’s buns were perfect'
'Soft': Terry had ‘beautiful soft buns’ (which was nice) but Jon’s ‘spongy buns’ the new ‘soggy bottom'
Ruby had expressed her fear that Hollywood would be ‘poking and prodding away’ at hers – not an image anyone needed.
In fact he declared Ruby’s buns were ‘hard and crispy and not sticky enough.’
Not how they should be, said Prue Leith, and not what we were expecting.
Manon, not for the first time, trumped them all though. She had ‘heart-shaped buns’, which won the best bun pun if nothing else.
‘I’m going to say to Paul: do you want to see my buns?!’ she laughed to Ruby.
I think we all knew what his answer would have been.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
