This week we are stepping back in time for a Bake Off first - Tudor Week. Mary and Paul have set three new challenges that embrace a time when Henry VIII reigned and a time of flamboyant banquets and impressivecentre pieces that were Tudor showstoppers.
The signature is a Tudor classic - pies. Although a few hundred years ago their pies would have been filled with feathered birds, our bakers will attempt to make a rather more edible version for modern taste of a savoury stuffed pie.
In the technical challenge, the bakers face a rather unusual Tudor biscuit that has them all tied up in knots.
Mel pops into Hampton Court to uncover how one sweet delicacy nearly enticed Queen Elizabeth I to marry.
And the final challenge is to construct a showstopper that is a spectacle of marzipan, fit to grace the tables of a wealthy Tudor banquet.
Which of the five bakers will make it into the semi-final, and who will be leaving the tent?

I don't mind him. In fact, Pouty is the only one I don't like.
