Thanks Baz 
All 120 cast and crew were living in a self-contained biosphere for six weeks to complete filming on a two days on, two days off schedule. So it's quite possible that we will still get the Hollywood handshake
Still rumoured that the first 3 episodes will be 90 minutes rather than 75.
I don't know what they'll do at the end of the final episode where in previous series, friends and family of the 3 finalists are gathered to celebrate. That may not happen as such for obvious reasons.

Thanks El Much better mix of ages than last year .....so I’m looking forward to it 
Thanks Baz
Schedules showing 20.00 to 21.30 though I think those times may be 5 minutes later.
First week is cake week.
The signature round is to produce a classic Battenburg, then Paul sets the contestants the task of producing a fruit sponge. the final showstopper is for the contestants to express their creativity by making something in tribute to their heroes - may be hilarious.
