Fri 24European Cakes — The Great British Bake Off
The remaining six bakers have passed the halfway point of the contest, and now face three European bakes - beginning with yeast-leavened cakes, a tricky cross between cake and bread.

Mon 27Advanced Dough — The Great British Bake Off
The nation's favourite baking contest has certainly proved it can hold its own after moving to BBC One - this series has been the most entertaining (not to mention contentious) yet. It's about to get a whole lot hotter in the kitchen, though, as it reaches the quarter-final stage, and just five amateur bakers remain. They've all impressed to various extents during Bread Week - at least sufficiently to make it through - but now their skills are thoroughly tested as they take on enriched doughs. They have a signature bake in which they must work with soft dough to create artful works, a technical that sees them recreate an Eastern European cross between bread and pastry, and a showstopper involving doughnuts
