The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice
C4, 8pm
When The Great British Bake Off made its controversial move from BBC to Channel 4 last year, one of the secondary concerns of the show’s fans was the future of An Extra Slice. Popular in its own right, Jo Brand’s companion show has built up a massive audience during the Bake-off years, with millions tuning in for unseen footage from the programme and an interview with the week’s eliminated baker. However, fans needn’t have worried – Brand was back as the host, there were celebrity guests and members of the public brought in their own home-baked goodies. The spin-off is back tonight for its witty take on the week’s Bake Off drama.
