The Great British Bake Off

The series debuted in the year 2011 as a spin-off from The Great British Bake Off and is also produced by Love Productions. Four series of Junior Bake Off were broadcast on CBBC from 2011 to 2016. Following its parent series' departure from the BBC in 2017, Junior Bake Off resumed with a fifth series in 2019 on Channel 4, with comedian Harry Hill as presenter and Prue Leith and Liam Charles as judges. The fifth series concluded on 22 November 2019. The show returned for a sixth series on 11 January 2021, with Ravneet Gill replacing Prue Leith. Junior Bake Off returned Monday 10 January 2022 for its seventh series and concluded on 28 January 2022. Junior Bake Off returned on 16 January 2023 for its eighth series and concluded on 3 February 2023. On 16 January 2026 it was announced that Junior Bake Off has been renewed for its twelfth series to air in 2027.[1][2] [3][4]

Format

edit

Each series of Junior Bake Off typically includes 15 episodes. While The Great British Bake Off features three challenges per episode (signature, technical, and showstopper), Junior Bake Off includes only the technical and showstopper challenges. In the first four series, aired on CBBC from 2011 to 2016, the format featured 40 young bakers aged 9 to 12 years old divided into 10 qualifying rounds or heats.[5] Each episode featured only four bakers, with one winner each episode and the other three eliminated. The winning bakers from each heat were brought back for "Finals Week", consisting of two semi-finals followed by two finals, and then one grand final to determine the winner.

The format was altered in 2019 when the series moved to Channel 4. The episodes were increased from 30 minutes to one hour, the number of bakers halved to 20 (16 starting in series 6).[6] Instead of only four bakers taking part in each qualifying round, the bakers were divided into two groups of 10 each, with five eliminated from one group during the first five episodes, and five eliminated from the second group during the second five episodes.[7] The remaining five bakers from each group are combined in finals week, with two quarterfinals, two semifinals and a final.[8] The upper age range of the contestants was increased from 12 to 15 in 2019, then changed back to 12 in series 8 through 10.[9] The "Star Baker" award, given to the judges' favourite baker in each episode, was not included in the CBBC version of the show but is a part of the Channel 4 format.
