Format of the Show: The Great British Bake Off- An Extra Slice:
Jo Brand and three rotating panelists appear on each episode. The panelists are typically a chef or culinary experts such as Michel Roux, Jr., Rosemary Shrager, Hal Cruttenden, and well-known personalities who enjoy the program. The panel has also previously included past bakers, including Nadiya Hussain and Nancy Birtwhistle, who won the contest.
Each episode of the show starts with Brand discussing the happenings of the prior episode while also playing clips, including never seen footage from inside the tent, which is often hilarious outtakes. She then chats with the panellists about the current episode and what went on in the tent that week.
In the next segment, she shows pictures of bakes that have been sent in by fans and then discusses the bakes that were brought to the studio by at least one member of the audience. Brand interviews the most recently eliminated baker yet again in the final segment. The baker is given the option of bringing one of their “less-than-satisfactory bakes.” The panel samples this offering. The baker is given a cake that represents their time in the tent at the end of the segment. Brand finishes the show by giving viewers a glimpse of what is to come in the next episode.
