The episode introduced a few twists that I won’t spoil, but may rankle Baking Show purists. There’s an elimination surprise that I enjoyed so much that I, again, unsurprisingly, teared up. And a shake-up in how the technical challenge is conducted made me raise an eyebrow. Mostly, though, I forgot how much I don’t just enjoy this show, but maybe even need it.

In the middle is Hammond, who in her second year in the role is clearly a natural. Effortlessly friendly and just naughty enough, she’s at ease with everyone, and puts everyone at ease. She is even rescuing Fielding by remoulding him as her doe-eyed straight man. With her on board, Bake Off can happily plateau for a while longer.

This isn’t television that’s going to change the world, but the series has arguably changed television — and 2024’s Bake Off delivers a masterclass in cosy escapism. After 15 series, its recipe has been perfected.
