Counting the days to GBBO
August 23, 2019 by DarcieThere are precious few bits of good news these days. The world’s lungs are on fire, stock markets around the world have more ups and downs than an M.C. Escher staircase, and my scale continues to mock me on a daily basis. That is why I am counting down the days to Season 7 of The Great British Bake Off (known as The Great British Baking Show here in the US).
Losing myself in the technical challenges, the camaraderie of the hosts, and the quirky personalities of the show’s contestants allows me to escape the relentless barrage of negative news and life’s daily stresses. Binge-watching GBBO and writing for EYB are two pleasures that keep me grounded and sane.
Speaking of binge-watching, it doesn’t look like that is going to be possible this season for those of us who watch the show on Netflix. However, there is a silver lining in the change in scheduling. Instead of making us wait eons to watch the program after we already know who won (it is impossible to avoid the spoilers), Netflix will be airing one episode each week, a mere three days after the show airs in the UK on Channel 4. Let the baking begin!
GBBO premieres on 27 August on Channel 4 in the UK, with the first episode available on Netflix on 30 August.
