The Great British Baking Show (TV Series) The Great Festive Bake Off (2020) User Reviews

The most fun episode yet! As it was intended to be.

Whenever a show like this does a special episode with, as in this case, the cast of a TV series, it is done purely for the fun of it. There's nothing at stake for the competitors because they are just there to enjoy themselves. This was the funniest episode of GBBS to date. Sandy even says they've never had more fun. I saw another review that says it's a waste of time and a slap in the face to the amateur bakers that compete for the regular show. Well, some people CLEARLY missed the point. I mean, I guess they think there's a cast of a comedy series comprised of world class bakers just waiting to stop by the tent and compete? I disagree about it being a slap in the face. In fact, if anything, I'd say putting a bunch of celebrities in the tent to do this...and actually try...goes a long way in showing exactly how much skill the amateur bakers have. Nobody had to compete to get on this episode. It's not like amateur bakers were knocked out of a spot on the show so some TV stars could bake. This is...the most fun I've had watching an episode. And nobody will troll the winner afterwards!! (That's probably not true, because humans and internet).

Yes!

I love Derry Girls and the cast was absolutely amazing in the tent, by far the funnest episode ever.

Such a Train Wreck!

This episode is an absolute waste of time. Don't bother, because it's such a slap in the face to all of the amateur bakers who actually work to get a competition spot in a regular season episode.
