The Great British Baking Show (2010-present)

The Great British Bake Off (abbreviated to "Bake Off" or "GBBO") is a British television baking competition produced by Love Productions in which a group of amateur bakers competes in a series of rounds to impress two judges with their baking skills. In each round, one contestant is eliminated, and the winner is chosen from among those who advance to the final. The first episode aired on August 17, 2010, with the first four series broadcast on BBC Two until the BBC moved it to BBC One for the next three series due to its growing popularity. Love Productions signed a three-year deal with Channel 4 to produce the series after its seventh season.

The series has aired in other countries; in the United States and Canada, where "Bake-Off" is a Pillsbury trademark, it is known as The Great British Baking Show. Its format was sold globally for localization and served as the basis for two BBC Two shows, The Great British Sewing Bee and The Great Pottery Throw Down.
