Netflix’s tank

Joe casts a Baskin lookalike to star in a music video for his song Here Kitty Kitty, which features a graphic depiction of what he thinks happened to Don Lewis.

Their feud culminates in the last two episodes, as the documentary looks at what happened when a federal grand jury indicted Joe of trying to hire someone to kill Baskin.

She’s not a fan – Baskin posted a long blog post to refute the show’s ‘‘lies’’ and said she was misled by the directors, who told her they wanted to expose abuse of big cats. ‘‘There are not words for how disappointing it is to see that the docuseries not only does not do any of that, but has had the sole goal of being as salacious and sensational as possible to draw viewers,’’ she wrote.

It has been 10 years since The Great British Bake Off first burst forth on to our screens but for judge Paul Hollywood the past decade has flown by faster than the time it takes to watch a sponge rise.

‘‘It’s gone really quickly actually. When I look back, it doesn’t seem like it was 10 years ago I was in the tent at Kingham where we started.

‘‘Back then I never imagined we’d still be here 10 years later. I’ve done every single Bake Off and, across that, US Bake Off and Junior Bake Off. It’s now 500 challenges that I have judged. That’s a lot.’’

Ten years on, The Great British Bake Off is still a huge hit. So what is the secret ingredient?

‘‘It’s very different for them from baking in their kitchens at home and, realistically, they are amateur bakers.’’

A huge part of the series’ appeal is the chemistry between the judges – Hollywood and Prue Leith – and the co-hosts – Noel
