The 10 part series will feature its youngest and oldest contestants so far.

The Great British Bake-Off has enjoyed sweet success over the past four seasons, but that the latest season really out-cooked the competition. The finale took the UK by storm with BCC1 clocking its highest audience year-to-date with a huge 12.3 million viewers tuning in to the season finale, beating their coverage of the 2014 World Cup Final.

The Great British Bake-Off season five welcomes the tents youngest and oldest ever contestants. All twelve bakers will have their skills on all things sweet and savoury with their cakes, biscuits, breads, desserts, pies and tarts, doughs and patisseries tested by judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, all while being helped – or hindered – by the hilarious duo of, Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins. Who will rise to the occasion and become the master baker?

As a judge on the The Great British Bake Off since its launch in 2010, Mary Berry’s extensive knowledge of baking comes from a fruitful career as a food writer, publishing over 70 cookery books.

Dubbed an innovator and one of the UK’s finest artisan bakers, baking truly is Paul Hollywood’s passion. Starting his career in his father’s bakery as a teenager, he went onto become the head baker at some of London’s most exclusive hotels.

Thursday, January 8 at 8.30pm, on LifeStyle FOOD.

  1. @Fullaz.. Totally agree, its a lesson in how an enjoyable “reality” show can be made without the manufactured crisis, tears, over the top hysteria and promotion. Will they try it in Australian shows? No,

  2. This is the sort of reality tv that should be on rather than all the fake reality, bitching, intros, recap of recaps of things we just saw anyway, stating of the bleeding obvious, overruns in to shows that are on next on and ads ads and more ads like basically every other reality show on. It is a cooking competition and people actually cook!
    Recaps are kept to a minimum an we get a brief idea about peoples reasons for being on the show. Contestants don’t all have battler-bleeding heart story and everyone stays civil. It makes a refreshing change.
