0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Week four in the Bake Off tent. - Freezer, freezer, freezer. Please!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Temperatures were rising.- Agh!
0:00:07 > 0:00:10- The bakers were baking.- It's so hot!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14And in a Bake Off first, one Showstopper got shoved in a bin.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15- SUE:- No, no, no, no, you can't...
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Bloomin' 'eck! I'm Jo Brand. Welcome to An Extra Slice!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23CHEERING
0:00:42 > 0:00:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:48 > 0:00:54Crikey! Good evening. This week was probably the most dramatic week
0:00:54 > 0:00:59in Bake Off history, as Iain put the "alas" into baked Alaska,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and Paul just couldn't hold back.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Does the "bincident" mean that he will have to go?
0:01:06 > 0:01:07HE SNEEZES
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Bless you.- Goodbye.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14As a result, Iain became the fourth baker to leave the tent.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16On the plus side, it does give me the chance to say
0:01:16 > 0:01:21- did he get his just "desserts"? - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Thanks(!)
0:01:23 > 0:01:25He'll tell us what HE thinks
0:01:25 > 0:01:27when he joins us in the studio a bit later on.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Plus, I'm joined by a panel of celebrity fans,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34who'll be giving us their take on this unprecedented event.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36We'll be looking at some of the desserts
0:01:36 > 0:01:37you've been whipping up at home.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And as for our studio audience,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42well, what an array of puddings I see before me.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I've been delving deep into the Bake Off bin
0:01:51 > 0:01:54to retrieve some more unseen moments.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Let's enjoy this clip of Mary.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57When we look back,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- both of them have been... - COW LOWS
0:01:59 > 0:02:01..very consistently have been Star Baker...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- COWS LOW LOUDLY - ..erm, they've proved themselves,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and they were really at the same level. And the cows agree.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13That must be Mary's affectionate term for Mel and Sue.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19And here's another exclusive.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Apparently, Mary turned up for filming
0:02:21 > 0:02:24after a heavy night in the hotel bar
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and had to be reminded who someone was.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I'm a baker who judges baking.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Time now to meet tonight's panel of celebrity fans.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41First up it's Michelin-starred chef and yummie Brummie Glynn Purnell.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Next, it's former Bake Off baker
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and custard theft victim Howard Middleton!
0:02:49 > 0:02:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:53 > 0:02:56And a comedian who enjoyed stuffing her face with cake
0:02:56 > 0:02:58so much last time she was on,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01she's back for more - it's Roisin Conaty!
0:03:01 > 0:03:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:06 > 0:03:07It's dessert week on Bake Off.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Glynn, what's the most extravagant dessert you've ever made?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We've got a dish at the minute which is called
0:03:13 > 0:03:16the emotions of mint chocolate chip,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and basically it's warm chocolate mousse, cold ice cream underneath,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21two different textures of chocolate,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and we pour liquid nitrogen over the top of it so it freezes the top
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- but still stays warm on the bottom. - That sounds amazing!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You've got a dish that people order,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31"Can I get the emotions of mint chocolate chip?"?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34If they can get the sentence out without choking.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I've got a dish named after me husband.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38It's called the bad temper of dinner.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Now, Howard, you were in the last series of Bake Off.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46What's the hardest thing about baking in that tent?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48The timing, I think, is the worst thing.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52When you're baking at home, you're obviously more relaxed.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You can take your time, you can put the washing in and do other things.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59When you're in the tent, you've absolutely got to concentrate,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and you've got often quite ridiculously short timescales
0:04:02 > 0:04:04to do quite complicated things.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Roisin, you've told me your area of expertise is eating.- Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Which desserts are you hoping for this evening?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Tiramisu, Jo.- Really? - Yes. That's my dessert.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19I've had it all round the world. Wherever I go, I eat tiramisu.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Does it vary much round the world?- It really does.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24The best one I ever had was in Kilkenny, in Ireland.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Who'd have thought? - AUDIENCE MEMBERS WHOOP
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Good, you've all had it as well!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Well, you've certainly been busy at home,
0:04:31 > 0:04:32creating some stunning desserts,
0:04:32 > 0:04:37and I have to say that a few of them were even stunningly good.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Emma Mason from Nottingham made a fraisier dessert cake.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44That looks gorgeous, doesn't it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And if it's brightly coloured bakes you're after, then look no further
0:04:47 > 0:04:51than Morgan of Wiltshire's three-vegetable savoury bread.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Here's what it looked like before he put it in the oven.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59To be fair, if you fancied a night-time snack,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01at least you could see it in the dark.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03It's tomato, spinach and beetroot.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07And perhaps it looks more inviting once it's been baked.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11No, it doesn't.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Tommy from Switzerland - that's right, Switzerland! -
0:05:17 > 0:05:21sent us a picture of the meringue he made for a Halloween party.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I think it's absolutely brilliant.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29When he asks people what they think of it, they all stay neutral.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31A LITTLE LAUGHTER
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Yeah, thanks(!)
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I got it, Jo.- Yeah, thank you, Glynn.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Can you go "Ha, ha!" in a really sarcastic way?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Yes, you see, I've got a meringue called elements of sarcasm.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Kayleigh made a unicorn cake
0:05:51 > 0:05:53as a special treat for her sister-in-law's birthday.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Awww, that's sweet of her.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I bet her sister-in-law was really touched.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I know a unicorn only has one horn.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I didn't realise it had six mouths!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13And what are those two lumps above its horn?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Can I say, we did check Kayleigh's age,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19just in case she was only six or something.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20She's 28.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Philip from Camberley made
0:06:24 > 0:06:27blackcurrant and white chocolate mousse cakes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Exactly. They're lovely, aren't they?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34They're topped with a macaron to add what Philip describes as
0:06:34 > 0:06:35"a flourish of camp".
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Mission accomplished there, Philip, I think.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And finally, Jo from Sheffield
0:06:44 > 0:06:47sent us a picture of a loaf baked by her twin sister Ruth.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Apparently, during the kneading process,
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Ruth's pastry brush went missing. Wherever could it be?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Then she got her loaf out of the oven.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Brilliant.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Thank you so much for sending your pictures in.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Keep them coming. Details below.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Whether they're spectacular or just a bit of a spectacle,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12we'd love to see them.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Right, let's get down to business.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Here's a reminder of what happened
0:07:16 > 0:07:20in Bake Off's most extraordinary week of all time.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The bakers got saucy in this week's Signature Bake.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26The judges would like you to make eight self-saucing puds.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Er, I've got some leakers.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I like 'em. They probably won't be fancy enough for the judges,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- but there you go. - Out you come.- Perfection.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I think it's really, really good. - Exceptionally baked.- Thank you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43'They got confused making Mary's tiramisu cake in the Technical.'
0:07:43 > 0:07:46How the hell are you supposed to cut that horizontally?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Job's a good 'un.- Nice lines, nice layers. They're all equal.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52This is number one. The flavour was perfect.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55'And they lost the plot in the Showstopper...'
0:07:55 > 0:07:57The ice cream's melting. Quickly.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00'..making baked Alaska in tropical conditions.'
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Now it's all melting. The whole thing's melting.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04'Iain chucked his bake in the bin...'
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- SUE:- No, no, no, no, you can't...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10If he doesn't present something for us to taste,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12how can we let him stay?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- JO:- '..and was chucked out of the tent,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17'whilst Richard was crowned Star Baker again.'
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Mary and Paul said Iain's behaviour was unacceptable.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31I thought it was funny, actually - I did! - and completely understandable
0:08:31 > 0:08:33as well. What do you think?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I can completely see where Paul and Mary are coming from,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39because he could have served the sponge or the meringue
0:08:39 > 0:08:42to prove what he'd done for all of that time.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45But, you know, when somebody else leaves your ice cream out the freezer
0:08:45 > 0:08:48and the emotions start running high,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51then I would probably have thrown it in the bin myself!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I think most hairy men would have done the same.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Have you ever thrown anything in the bin?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02I mean something you've baked, not just an empty tin of beans.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Ask him if he's a hoarder!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I worked in a pastry kitchen when I was a young lad
0:09:08 > 0:09:11for about six to eight months, and if anything went wrong
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I had to go up and show the chef,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14so I've been trained that you wouldn't throw it away,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17you would show somebody before you'd done that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Howard, have you thrown food in the bin in a huff?
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Oh, yeah. I've thrown food at the wall and all sorts of places.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27And I think you can do that in the safety of your own home.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I think the difficulty is... - LAUGHTER
0:09:30 > 0:09:33..when you do it on national television.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37You know if you order a takeaway and the wrong food shows up?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39In temper, I've chucked that in the bin.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- And then got it out again?- Yeah!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- 20 minutes later! - I've done that, yeah!
0:09:45 > 0:09:49"All right, I'll have the anchovies, then. Fine..."
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Now, Diana took Iain's ice cream out of the freezer.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Erm, do you think she was to blame for this in some way?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yes!
0:09:59 > 0:10:00I don't think it was her fault,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02but she did take the ice cream out of the freezer.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05But you need something to present, otherwise there's no show!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07If everybody just bins their stuff
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and everyone just wheels up bins to the front of the room...
0:10:11 > 0:10:14This Showstopper Challenge didn't get off to a great start.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Let's begin by seeing Paul and Mary's reaction
0:10:16 > 0:10:20to Martha telling them what she was baking for her Showstopper.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm making a Key lime pie-inspired baked Alaska.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Well done. And you've won. Goodbye.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29And here's how they reacted when Iain told them
0:10:29 > 0:10:34he was creating black sesame seed ice cream for his baked Alaska.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Hello, Iain.- Hello. Morning.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- That looks absolutely revolting. - Yes.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Now, Howard, you experienced some drama when you were in the tent.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45When you were making trifle,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50your fellow baker Deborah stole your custard, didn't she?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Unbelievable. - She accidentally acquired it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54She stole your custard, Howard.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Well, let's just remind ourselves what happened.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Where's my custard?
0:10:59 > 0:11:04- What's happened? - I used Howard's custard by error.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It's either a terrible error
0:11:06 > 0:11:09or the most incredible case of baking espionage I've ever seen.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11No, I'm really sorry.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- TEARFULLY:- I'm sure that one custard's as good as another...
0:11:14 > 0:11:16AUDIENCE: Awww!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Is it true that you got shouted at in the street after that?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I've had people shout, "Custard!"
0:11:24 > 0:11:26All the bakers take a different approach
0:11:26 > 0:11:30to their baking, don't they? Some bakers are perfectionists.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35The OCD's kicking in nicely, so things have to fit perfectly.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Having a design agency, everything you do has to be precise.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40And some of them are Norman.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46A few spots of flour here and there, but you always get that.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I don't think you do.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53It's fair to say Iain's meltdown saved Norman from being ousted,
0:11:53 > 0:11:54I think.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58According to Mary and Paul, Norman's sticky toffee pudding looked untidy,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and he was second from bottom
0:12:00 > 0:12:03with his tiramisu cake Technical Challenge.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Now, Glynn, did Stormin' Norman have a lucky escape, do you think,
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- this week?- Most definitely.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I thought his first one, the sticky toffee,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14looked a little bit like a really bad shepherd's pie.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18You know you have half-burns on the sides? It looked a bit like that.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Yeah. Howard, do you think Norman would have gone
0:12:21 > 0:12:23if Iain hadn't had the problems he did?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I think he probably would have.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I suppose I've got a bit of a soft spot for Norman.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I think a lot of people have said Norman is the new Howard,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34which I'm not sure I completely like, but...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37He's no Howard, I'm telling you that now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41They said about me last time that I looked as if
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I'd wandered in the tent from an Alan Bennett sketch.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47I think he's got that same quality to him.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51If Norman and Diana combined,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55they would have the perfect amount of confidence,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58because Norman's confidence is up there, Diana's is down there.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00If they go, "Ooh, it's not great,"
0:13:00 > 0:13:03she goes, "Yes. I should be baking at home. I shouldn't be here. Taxi!"
0:13:05 > 0:13:07He's quite feisty, is Norman.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11He came out fighting this week, defending his self-saucing pudding.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Sticky toffee pudding's not meant to look beautiful.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16You know, it's a bit like, er, some people, you know,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19they're nice-looking on the outside but they're all rotten in the middle.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22And my puddings are the opposite of that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Cheers, Norman. Erm...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Now, Norman wasn't the only one who was starting to fight back.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Here's what Paul and Mary had to say
0:13:29 > 0:13:33about Nancy's Signature pistachio puddings with chocolate sauce.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- We have asked for a sauce. - For me, it's overbaked.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39That outside sponge is dry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42And here's what she had to say about that.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43I don't think they were dry.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46They're a pudding, so you can eat them in two minutes, anyway.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So they don't get time to go dry. It's not like it's a cake.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So I don't agree with him.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Ooh, I like it. They're getting feisty.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Howard?- They are getting feisty! And I think it's really good.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I think it's just a shame
0:13:59 > 0:14:03that Nancy's gone and found a field somewhere to say this
0:14:03 > 0:14:06rather than saying it to Paul and Mary's face.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Four weeks in, who do you want to win, Howard?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16My heart is with Nancy, I think.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I like Nancy. I like her dry sense of humour,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22even though she went into a field into talk about Paul and Mary.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27I think, um... I like her approach. I think she's meticulous.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29I also like Martha as well.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I think they're really both very strong contenders.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'd love to see Martha win it. See the youth win it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I think she's got so much potential.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40She's still at school and doing exams as well.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42These people are all at home making cakes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44She's doing exams and she's practising.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45She's as cool as a cucumber.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48She's confident. She listens when Paul and Mary speak,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50although it does throw her a little.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I would love to see her winning. - She's great.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Because she's so young, she will have so many chances.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Diana, or someone a bit older, someone who's been baking
0:14:58 > 0:15:01their whole life who has not been rewarded for it,
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- you'd like to see them get some sort of go...- Yes, absolutely.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Iain will be joining us in a bit. First, let's check out the desserts
0:15:10 > 0:15:13our studio audience have baked at home.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15There's a prize for anyone who made
0:15:15 > 0:15:18a baked Alaska in a two-man tent in their garden.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Let's have a look at a couple. James, where are you?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25James is here with a tirami-Sue.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- ALL:- Oh!
0:15:27 > 0:15:28APPLAUSE
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Molly, where are you?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Here.- Molly, what have you got there?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I've got a Mary Berry cheesecake but it's quite scary.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41Oh, yes, that is Mary Berry in a Hammer Horror film in the '70s.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I hardly need ask you...
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Roisin, would you mind bringing some stuff over for us?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- I don't like meringue.- Oh.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- What have you brought, Tony? - Um, it's meringue.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Bloody meringues?!
0:15:58 > 0:15:59He's got some too.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It's chocolate and salted caramel.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, save it for someone who eats meringue!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It looks amazing. It looks gorgeous.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Now, Tony, I believe you suffered an injury during the making
0:16:14 > 0:16:17of your delightful production.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Yes, when I was melting the chocolate,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I forgot the pan was still over the gas and I picked it up.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24- ALL:- Oh...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26How bad is it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27I went to A & E the next day.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Did they go, "Not another Bake Off experiment(?)"
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Glynn, what's the verdict?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's lovely. You've got that little bit of chewiness with the meringue
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- rather than the powder. - It's really nice.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Really lovely.- Well worth the burn.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Howard, you're just happily munching away there.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Yeah, just leave me. I'll carry on like this for a while.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Is it nice?- It is nice. Very nice.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- It's delicious.- It's lovely. - Alison, where are you?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59- Hello, Alison.- Hello.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- Now, what have you got? - I have got a carrot meringue pie.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Oh, come off it?!
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Go.- I can see tiramisu all round this room!
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Go and get it. Why carrot?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It was an idea to get vegetables into my kids.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Oh, OK, everyone always does that, don't they?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- What is this? What is this? - I repeat, "What is this?"
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Carrot.- Carrot?! - ALISON: Carrot meringue pie.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- Would you like some?- There is carrot in the filling and in the pastry.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I have never not eaten a cake in my life!
0:17:36 > 0:17:41But there are so many bad words in that sentence you just said, Jo.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Go on, have a go.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- It is nice.- Is it very...?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54It is nice. I don't like meringue but it is actually a very nice cake.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Oh.- Is it very carroty?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's just wrong.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I wouldn't have necessarily known that it was carrot.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07It is coming through quite strongly on lemony for me.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10So if you were trying to get carrots into people without them knowing,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13this might be one way of doing it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Thank you very much, Alison, that's great.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Back to the Bake Off where one baker
0:18:24 > 0:18:26was reluctantly asked to leave the tent.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Not because he was rubbish
0:18:27 > 0:18:30but because that was where he threw his baked Alaska.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Without him we would never have heard of za'atar.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Will you please give a huge welcome to Iain!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40WHOOPING AND CHEERING
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Wow! Welcome to An Extra Slice, Iain.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Before your final Showstopper, were you enjoying Bake Off?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Yes and no because it is very stressful.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I think people don't realise at home
0:19:01 > 0:19:05that when you are baking in a tent it is very, very different.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I was up and down, I think, through the whole show,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09and then, very down at the end.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Well, let's get down and dirty -
0:19:14 > 0:19:16a bit like your baked Alaska is now, I'm afraid -
0:19:16 > 0:19:18and remind ourselves of what happened
0:19:18 > 0:19:21on that fateful Showstopper bake.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- Where's my ice cream? - It's here. I'm sorry, Iain, we...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Argh!- BLEEP!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Well, you've got your own freezer.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Someone's taken it from the freezer. This has all melted.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Why would you take ice cream out of a freezer?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Eurgh!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- SUE:- OK, all right. Let's think about how we are going to present that.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- Um, that's not... OK. - I'm going to throw it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Oh...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55No, no, no, no...
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Iain, Iain, Iain, you have to present it.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Look at it. How can you present it?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- ALL:- Aw!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Iain, what was going on in your head,
0:20:16 > 0:20:21when you lifted off the baking ring and it just went...?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25I think I lifted it off to show how bad it was.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I was never going to serve it, it was that bad.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I didn't realise how bad it was until it went...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34What sort of advice was Sue giving you
0:20:34 > 0:20:36in terms of how you could serve it up?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40She was coming up with some alternative serving suggestions.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Lake Alaska was one.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48It must have been really annoying
0:20:48 > 0:20:50when you just found it sitting there, wasn't it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Yeah, it was really annoying
0:20:51 > 0:20:54cos first I looked in the freezer and it was like,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56"I definitely put it in this freezer."
0:20:56 > 0:20:58It was like... I just tried...
0:20:58 > 0:21:00And then I asked where it was
0:21:00 > 0:21:04and Diana nicely told me it was at the end of her bench.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07She took your ice cream out of her freezer for a moment.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08I think it was about a minute, OK?
0:21:08 > 0:21:14Your stress was building anyway. Let's just have a look.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I think that shows you were getting
0:21:16 > 0:21:19stressed out even before the Showstopper challenge.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Here we are.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23HE GRUNTS
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Come on!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Come on, come on! Oh...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Eurgh! Oh, no.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Are you normally someone that lets your feelings show like that?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Or is this just with the baking?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It's just for baking, yeah.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Because I am so interested in it and just so into it
0:21:47 > 0:21:51when I'm doing it, all the emotions come out, I think.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Here is a bit of unseen footage.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Luis is... I don't think you've seen this.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58..trying to pipe his meringue onto his baked Alaska,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01with it inside the freezer because it is so hot.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06But Mel is getting really worried because yours is in there as well.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Have a look at this.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Be careful because Iain's ice cream is there.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- I know.- Very, very careful, mate.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Freezer piping. Very, very quickly, my darling.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16We've got a slightly angry baker over there.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17(Quickly. He's looking angry.)
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Hurry, hurry!- Hold that for me. - Pipe for Britain!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So instead of presenting a melted baked Alaska to Mary and Paul,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- you chucked it all in the bin... - Yeah.- ..after which, you did this.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38HE GROANS
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I was thinking, "Maybe Iain's gone to Iceland to buy a baked Alaska."
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Where did you actually go?
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- I just had some quiet time near a tree, I think.- Did it help?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Not really, no.- No?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Now, you will have seen this before but here are some of your former
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Bake Off colleagues sharing their thoughts on your departure.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Really, really sad that Iain's gone.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11He will regret that for a long time. And that is the toughest thing.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14It was because he was so proud of what he was doing,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17he wanted it to come out perfect. So, yeah, I do feel for him.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18I am really gutted for him,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and I'm really annoyed that he did that, and I've told him so.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Maybe the heat got to him a bit too much. I don't know.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Oh... Gutted.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30There's some nice words, yeah, but I still would've thrown it in the bin.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Yeah?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Because I just didn't want to serve something that wasn't
0:23:35 > 0:23:38my intended result.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Just to have all those flavours I thought went well together
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and not to have ice cream, which I think is the main part of it,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50not to have that in my bake, I don't think was an option.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Mm. Well, as you know, we do like to give baker's a second chance
0:23:53 > 0:23:56to create one of the bakes that didn't quite work for them.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00So let's see how your chocolate, black sesame seed
0:24:00 > 0:24:03and coffee-caramel baked Alaska has turned out.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04ROISIN GASPS
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- ALL:- Ooh!
0:24:06 > 0:24:09WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:09 > 0:24:14There you go, guys. And a big spoon to serve it with.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16If you could just turn it round
0:24:16 > 0:24:19so everyone can see what it looks like inside.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20- ALL:- Ooh!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22GLYNN CHUCKLES
0:24:22 > 0:24:25No-one's ever gone "ooh" at one of my puddings.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- The ice cream's incredible.- Is it? - Yeah, it's really, really good.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I can see your rage now.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Nice texture because it's got the little bits in, which is nice.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- It's really nice.- It's lovely.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Is that a massive thumbs up from everyone?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43- Delicious.- Lovely.- Definitely.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I am sorry it's come a bit late but they love it. Congratulations.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Thank you CHEERING
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Which of your bakes were you most proud of?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Because I like baking a lot of bread, I think
0:24:59 > 0:25:03the Moroccan plait came out the best because it all went to plan.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I didn't need to do any grunting and, um...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10use a bin. So, yeah, that was the best one.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Well, thanks so much for coming to see us.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Roisin, if you could fetch Iain's present,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19because we thought we would get you something.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22So, here we go.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23GROANS AND GROWLS
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I am not presenting you with that, sorry!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33APPLAUSE
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Sorry, that... that wasn't good enough.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Roisin, can we have something that is good enough?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I've got to line this up.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I am hoping that'll be a bit better.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Right, here we go. Don't want to break that. There you go.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52AUDIENCE: Ooh...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- APPLAUSE - Congratulations.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56It's lovely to meet you.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01And, everybody, let's give Iain a Great British send-off!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Iain!
0:26:03 > 0:26:04CHEERING
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Thank you.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Next week, it is pies and tarts in the tent.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15- Whoa...- This has to be up there
0:26:15 > 0:26:18as one of the strangest things I've ever done.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23If that stays up without falling, I will be amazed.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- I'm going to put that one right under their nose.- Too sweet for me.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Oh, my goodness.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32One of the challenges involves a stack of pies
0:26:32 > 0:26:34that has to be at least three tiers high.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36So get pie stacking at home
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and send us your pictures, or send us a picture of some tarts.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Although that's a risky thing to say.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Details below. The triumphs or tragedies
0:26:45 > 0:26:47may feature on next week's show
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So what have we learnt this week?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Meringue comes in several different forms.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Kate, Luis, Nancy and Richard made Italian meringue.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Chetna and Iain made French meringue.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And Norman made...meringue.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Sorry, I couldn't resist. He actually made a rice pudding
0:27:07 > 0:27:09They do make meringue in other parts of the world.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12There is a slightly orange coloured meringue found in Indonesia.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14That's the meringue-utan.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16And, um...
0:27:18 > 0:27:20..meringue isn't actually eaten too much in the Middle East
0:27:20 > 0:27:23except of course for Yemen meringue pie.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29A big thank you for our guest baker Iain, to all our studio bakers
0:27:29 > 0:27:31and to our celebrity panel,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Glynn Purnell...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:35 > 0:27:36..Howard Middleton...
0:27:36 > 0:27:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:38 > 0:27:39..and Roisin Conaty.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Good night.
