'The Great British Bake Off' is family entertainment. There aren't many programmes where all ages can sit and watch from beginning to end. Everything else is violent, cruel, and noisy. We're educational without viewers realising it.

Our aim is to get people to enjoy 'Bake Off' at home and for our bakers to enjoy what they are doing. We don't want to catch them out. It's a very happy occasion, and it's about encouraging people to bake at home.

Lots of people have written to say 'Bake Off' has inspired them to bake with their children. I feel proud about that; it's exactly what I used to do with mine.

'Bake Off' is one of my favourite programmes, so I was genuinely a little bit shocked and very excited when I was asked to take part.

What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of seven years of magic in a tent - 'The Great British Bake Off.'

I think baking is an incredible thing; cooking in general is an incredible thing.

Since I was a kid, baking has been part of my life.

I was always nervous before a television show, and I still am now. But 'The Great British Bake Off' is a happy show; there is no bad language, and although we do have drama, we deal with it calmly.

Katie McGrath got me hooked on the 'Great British Bake Off.' It's ruining my life.

If baking is any labor at all, it's a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.
