1
00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:03,010
James Acaster: Never baked before. 
Let alone competitively.

2
00:00:03,010 --> 00:00:04,730
Let alone on Bakeoff.

3
00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:07,510
It's the worst idea anyone's ever had.

4
00:00:08,809 --> 00:00:12,113
Paul Hollywood: The texture of your flapjack--
James: It is perf.

5
00:00:12,113 --> 00:00:14,023
Paul: --on the top, it looks 
a bit wet.

6
00:00:14,023 --> 00:00:16,353
James: Oh yeah, that's 'cause 
it's not baked yet.

7
00:00:16,353 --> 00:00:17,523
(Prue and Noel laugh)

8
00:00:17,523 --> 00:00:20,163
James: Ah. I can explain this to you.

9
00:00:20,163 --> 00:00:22,813
Before it goes in the oven, 
it's often a lot soggier.

10
00:00:22,829 --> 00:00:24,219
Paul: Right, ok.

11
00:00:24,219 --> 00:00:26,329
James: Is the texture ok? Good joke!

12
00:00:26,329 --> 00:00:29,057
Wanna shake my hand now or later?

13
00:00:29,057 --> 00:00:30,187
(Music)

14
00:00:30,187 --> 00:00:34,689
James: Up to you. You can shake it now 
to save yourself the bother

15
00:00:34,689 --> 00:00:37,582
or you can shake it later on 
and eat humble pie

16
00:00:37,582 --> 00:00:38,922
as well as these flapjacks.

17
00:00:38,922 --> 00:00:40,878
Sandy: Bakers, you have half an hour.

18
00:00:40,878 --> 00:00:44,568
Music

19
00:00:44,568 --> 00:00:45,508
(Oven clatters)

20
00:00:45,508 --> 00:00:47,668
James: Right, I wish I were dead 
(scoffs).

21
00:00:47,668 --> 00:00:50,949
I'm not taking that out the oven.
It's like a soup.

22
00:00:50,949 --> 00:00:53,109
(Music)

23
00:00:53,109 --> 00:00:55,809
James: Come on. Be magically done.

24
00:00:55,809 --> 00:00:59,089
The mixture is...still liquid.

25
00:01:00,957 --> 00:01:04,327
This is meant to be encouraging people
at home to get involved and bake

26
00:01:04,327 --> 00:01:05,067
for charity.

27
00:01:05,067 --> 00:01:07,518
This is the worst experience of my life!

28
00:01:07,518 --> 00:01:10,128
This is so bad.

29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,453
(Music stops)

30
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:16,313
Paul: Uh, can you tell us about your
flapjack, please? James: Started

31
00:01:16,313 --> 00:01:17,881
making it, had a breakdown,

32
00:01:17,881 --> 00:01:19,061
bon appétit!

33
00:01:19,061 --> 00:01:23,061
(Laughter)

34
00:01:24,167 --> 00:01:26,047
James: Bit of a small bit.

35
00:01:26,047 --> 00:01:27,847
Up to him.

36
00:01:27,847 --> 00:01:30,857
Paul: The reason I cut the end bit is 'cause

37
00:01:30,857 --> 00:01:34,857
actually where it's browned and caramelized

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with the butter, it's absolutely gorgeous.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prue: So delicious. Isn't it lovely?

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Paul: It is.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Great flavor, not very well executed.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Story of my life.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: I thought even if baking goes badly,

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's a bit of fun. It's not.

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No, not disappointed--scarred.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Water splashes into the bowl)

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Oh, too much, that's too much.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: This seems absolutely absurd.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That is too much frozen butter.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've go excess dough.

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Rylan Clark: You shouldn't have excess
dough, no

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: But, I cut it down
to the size it says here. I don't--

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Rylan: You used the whole dough together?

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Yeah

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Rylan: Make that 10 centimeters by 25?

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Well, it's too late, now, so I'll--
I'll put the butter in.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Noel: Where are the rest?

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Oh, let's be realistic.
(Noel laughs)

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Music)

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prue: Who is responsible for this?

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, all I can say, is it does have the
ingredients we gave you--

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there.

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: What more could you ask?

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(laughter)

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prue: Quite a lot more.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Noel: We would like you to make a
meringue scene.

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Basically, your happy place.

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Cowabunga! Surf's up! I'm baking
my happy place, which is Wicksteed Park,

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is Kettering's premier park.

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Russell Tovey: Do you want some salt?
I've got some salt.

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: I'd love it. Thank you, Russell.

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Just, making my meringue taste like the ocean.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Russell scoffs and laughs)

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Shouldn't really go in freehand,
should I?

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But, would someone who plays by the books
do this?

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Music)

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Wiki bear, reclining on the ocean.

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm icing a raw egg. Does the name Prue
mean anything to you?

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I know I'm in danger of constantly adding
to perfection, you know?

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Music)

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: That is the roller coaster in 
meringue. It's sweet egg flavor.

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Russell: Sweet egg?

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Ah, now, see if you can spot
the secret ingredient in the water.

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prue: No, is the answer.

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: I put a little salt on it, for a laugh!

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prue: You're right, there is a hint.
Paul: I quite like it, actually.

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Prue: It's like salted caramel. It's true.

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Paul: I think it's brilliant, James.

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
James: Thank you very much, Paul.
(Applause). Thank you very much.

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Paul kinda gave me a look during that 
showstopper that let me know:

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Obviously, we can't give it to you, but
you are Star Baker.

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Music)
