The Great British Bake Off

Talent reality show about baking in all forms in a tent in the English countryside… It may look like a waste of time and it may call to be labeled as "guilty pleasure" from the department the Czech show Prostřeno, but that would not be entirely fair. Because it's really good and it offers a nice alternative to all those glorious, too loud super-talented mega show. In fact, "bake off" is nice, homely, it offers a lot of useful tips (if you are into baking) with typical English hosts and jury that stay on top of things, without being unfriendly or fishing for emotions. And yet (or precisely because of that?) it can be exciting and it can work in terms of emotions. No wonder, there have already been a few seasons and it belongs to Britain's most watched TV shows for several years in a row. Although I must admit, that this TV show is intended for a completely different target-group than those of FilmBooster users. In any case, it is surprising that no Czech adaptation of this has not yet found its way to the Czech republic in a from of Saturday evenings on Czech TV. In fact, this kind of TV show would suit us much more, as there are many grandmothers, aunts and mother who are into baking, than countless shows that we so gladly and often adapt without even thinking.
