The show has occupied the same Tuesday evening slot throughout the whole of its sixteenth season - and the previous years as well. In fact, I am not sure I can remember a time when it wasn't on a Tuesday night.

The final of The Great British Bake Off series 16 will take place on Tuesday, November 4. Make sure you note that down in your calendar or set a reminder.

It is due to start at 8pm and will be another 75 minute episode. The final will finish by 9.15pm with the winner being announced just before the end - based on previous finals.

  • Tom

What to expect from the Bake Off final?

The preview for next week’s final, via Radio Times, reads: “The three finalists bake a classic British iced bun in the signature, a tower of French delights in the technical and for their showstopper take on the challenge of making the largest ever cake in Bake Off history.

“As ever, Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding encourage the bakers, while judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith taste their efforts - but only one can be crowned winner of The Great British Bake Off 2025.”
