Nine has released a promo for The Great Australian Bake-Off its cooking reality show based on the hit UK series The Great British Bake-Off.

This has been filmed inside a marquee in the grounds of the historic Werribee Mansion, outside Melbourne, and has a bright, 1950s-style decor.

Expect judge Kerry Vincent to polarise viewers here with her personality and caustic opinions. Looks like the nasty judge is back…

There is no airdate yet but the show is likely to launch out of Easter.

  1. Currently watching the British series and loving the baking and the people, judges and contestants.

    I hope Nine still run the Australian version but there have been no promos since Easter.

    I am worried they’ll put the Australian slant on it…drama tadadaaa!! Hope they stick with the cooking and don’t overplay nasty personalities…

  2. Couldn’t even bring myself to play the promo.
    Next thing to be foist on the long-suffering public is the boring reno show on 7.
    Cooking, reno, singing, weight loss. All starring the usual suspects.
    Yawn.

  4. With the obesity crisis at the moment, it is irresponsible to start up a show based on baking cakes and pastry.

    The bogans in the western suburbs might watch it between Winnie Blues, beer and joints but the now generation are too involved with gym training and sport to bother.

  5. What’s worse is the cross promotion 60 minutes did with Kerry Vincent as a story late last year. And they call themselves journalists.

    Thoses antics insult me and I wouldn’t watch for that reason alone.

  10. Guessing Kenny is there to ask the dumb questions of the 3 who know what they’re on about. In that respect, it’s probably a good call. Really like the UK show and this looks like a pretty close copy, right down to the gentle “Carry On…” type innuendo. I’ll give it a go.

  12. I would have liked to see Donna Hay as a judge. And yes I agree with Karlos, couldn’t they have found anyone better than Shane Jacobson?! Well, I’ll be watching anyway 🙂

  16. Here on the Gold Coast the Tafe culinary teaching department was faced with 2 redundancies.One teacher accepted voluntarily..the other, it was decided ,would be determined by a 4 teacher cookoff Masterchef style,with the worst performer getting the pink slip.Life imitating tv?

  18. Me: “It looks so tacky, gimmicky and contrived, that it deserves to flop.”

    General Public: “This is a must watch. So addictive, I love it!”

    Sadly I think this will rate quite well for Nine. Fingers crossed it doesn’t.
