PBS Distribution
announced today it is releasing
“THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW”
on DVD. “SEASON 1” “SEASON 2” and “SEASON 3” will all be

U.K.’s “doyenne of baking” and a leading cookbook author, and Paul Hollywood, one of the country’s top artisan bakers, serve as the series’
judges. Together with hosts and comic foils Sue
Perkins and Mel Giedroyc, Berry and Hollywood search for the country’s best
amateur bakers by testing competitors’ skills on cakes, breads, pastries and
desserts of all kinds, ultimately crowning a winner after 10 weeks of
competition. The series is produced
by the award-winning, U.K. - based Love Productions. The U.K. series became the
highest-rated food show ever made in Britain.
“THE
GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW SEASONS 1, 2 AND 3” will be available on DVD April 11, 2017. Each season has a run time of approximately 600 min on 3 discs, and has a DVD SRP

also available for digital download.
The
program follows the trials and
tribulations of 12 passionate amateurs whose goal is to be named the U.K.’s
best. Each week, the bakers from diverse backgrounds tackle a different skill,
the difficulty of which increases as the competition unfolds. In each episode, the challenges come in three
categories: a Signature Bake that tests the bakers’ personality,
creative flair and baking ability; a Technical Bake, in which all bakers are given the
same basic recipe, with ingredients and minimal instructions; and the Showstopper
Bake, in which the
competitors must display refined depths of skill and talent. PBS will present
BBC’s fourth season of the series, which received both critical and audience
acclaim in the U.K. for its quick pace, lively comedic tone and competitor
diversity.
The series was created
by Anna Beattie and Richard McKerrow. Executive producer is Anna Beattie.
