What time is The Great British Bake Off on tonight?
For its 16th series, the beloved baking competition will once again call Tuesday nights on Channel 4 home. Fans can expect new episodes every single week through to early November.

What to expect from The Great British Bake Off tonight?
Last week, the 12 bakers took on one of the show’s big classics: cake week. This week it is crunch time as the amateurs will face biscuit themed challenges.
The preview for this week’s episode, via Radio Times, reads: “It's crunch time for the bakers as biscuit week arrives, seeing them take on a 'slice and bake' signature, produce a classic chocolate Hobnob in the technical and make their favourite mementos out of biscuit in the showstopper.
“Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding find out who will be top cookie and who will crumble under the pressure, while Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith judge their efforts.”
Which week are the judges looking forward to most?
There will be a new theme for this year, it has been revealed. The bakers will face a set of ‘back to school’ themed challenges.
Prue Leith explained: “Paul got terribly excited, because his favourite thing in the whole world is cake and custard, and we had lots of cake and custard. In fact, for one of the challenges, I think we actually required custard.
“It’s funny, because I was at school in South Africa, and you would have thought that would have been very different, but because the whole education system had come from Britain, our school was just like any private school in England. So we had treacle tart and brownies and school cake – not very well-made, but we had the same things.”
