Prolly just the prestige of winning
Oh well.
I would have been happy for any of them to win.

Bye all
That was a rather nice end to TGBBO.
Got chores to do, so thanks all and see you around

I was sure he would walk it and I think Louie is more presentation than taste and that was what let him down in the ends and two mediocre previous rounds
thanks everyone, until next time 
I might be back
Phew, finally caught up with you
Well, they made the right decision on the night, although I would have put money on Richard

agree on both counts Rexi, the boys cocked up
A 4 part series starts tonight on BBC2 at 7.00 pm where Paul and Mary bake the challenges they set during the series.
In today's epsiode Paul makes a blackcurrant and liquorice swirly swiss roll, whilst Mary takes us through the very first technical of the series - her perfect cherry cake with lemon icing. Paul demonstrates how to make two types of savoury biscuits, and Mary shows us the correct way to make florentines, before finishing with her show-stopping miniature classic coffee and walnut cakes.
In the second episode tomorrow, Paul takes us throughhis ciabatta technical and his show-stopping roquefort and walnut loaf one step at a time and Mary shows us how to make her layered tiramisu cake from desserts week. Paul shows his saucy side with chocolate volcano fondant puds and Mary finishes off with her flamboyant neapolitan baked alaska.
Also on Sunday on BBC1 at 16.50 pm, there's a catchup episode of TGBBO with what the bakers in last year's series have been doing since.
