We're back! This time we're chatting about the UK's favourite televised baking competition, The Great British Bake Off. We discuss Channel 4 vs BBC, who would win in a fight between Mary Berry and Prue Leith, the spectre of death as a straight man, Tony the Tiger trying to convince people to put Frosties in their cakes, why Ben enjoys a break, and a gateau, but not that much, putting a personal spin on the ‘Hollywood Handshake’, quick routes to either fame or infamy for Richard and the deliciousness of plain white bread. It’s a knockout!

WE'RE BACK BAYBEEE!!! But not as you might remember us - while we were gone, we got an email from Jeff Bezos, who told us he's taking Seinfeld away from Amazon Prime, as he needs every penny at the moment.

In this episode, Ben and Richard talk eggs, slack Australians, the PowerPoint button, band names, not that there's anything wrong with that, you can't put them together, they make an 8, and play Top of the Pops with a list of the best Seinfeld episodes.
