The Great British Bake Off Who’d have thought a show about people baking in a tent would become the biggest show on the box?! Mel and Sue front the mega-hit, which sees Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins host as Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood do the judging. For now at least... Next year, the BBC institution moves to Channel 4. There’s never a dull moment in baking!
