Arlington,
Va. – August 2, 2018 – PBS Distribution announces the release
of “THE
GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW SEASON 5” on DVD September 11. The delectable baking competition that has grown into
a beloved international phenomenon returns for a fifth season. The program features
the original cast of Mary Berry, Paul Hollywood, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc,
in a season never before seen in the U.S.
“THE
GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW” will be available on DVD ($19.99 SRP) September 11, 2018.
The program has a run time of approximately 550 minutes. Episodes of “THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW” are
currently available on Digital HD.
Once
again, viewers will meet twelve of Britain’s best amateur bakers who will don
their aprons, enter the iconic tent and tackle culinary trials that increase in
difficulty as the competition unfolds. Vying to be crowned star baker,
challengers prepare three creations in each episode: a signature bake, which tests their creative flair and baking
ability; the devilishly difficult technical
challenge, in which contestants have to bake creations using only
ingredient lists and minimal instruction; and finally, the showstopper, designed to fully showcase each baker’s skill and
creativity.
Contestants
face the demanding but endearing judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, two
icons of British baking who are now household names in America. Comedy duo Sue
Perkins and Mel Giedroyc are the series hosts, providing the bakers with
much-needed emotional support and comic relief. Offering viewers the perfect
sweet summer escape, this program features unforgettable contestants attempting
some of the series most difficult challenges, from bagels to strudel, treacle
tarts to choux gateaus.
Known
as THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF in the
U.K., the show is produced by the award-winning Love Productions and was
created by Anna Beattie and Richard McKerrow. Executive producers for this
program are Kieran Smith and Anna Beattie, the series director is Scott Tankard
and the series producer is Amanda Westwood.
