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
00:00:08,609 --> 00:00:11,913
Paul Hollywood: The texture of your flapjack--
James: It is perf.

5
00:00:11,913 --> 00:00:13,413
Paul: --on the top, it looks 
a bit wet.

6
00:00:13,413 --> 00:00:15,763
James: Oh yeah, that's 'cause 
it's not baked yet.

7
00:00:15,763 --> 00:00:16,823
(Prue and Noel laugh)

8
00:00:16,823 --> 00:00:19,463
James: Ah. I can explain this to you.

9
00:00:19,463 --> 00:00:22,503
Before it goes in the oven, 
it's often a lot soggier.

10
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:24,069
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 --> 00:00:38,902
as well as these flapjacks.

17
00:00:38,902 --> 00:00:40,878
Sandy: Bakers, you have half an hour.

18
00:00:40,878 --> 00:00:43,790
Music

19
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:45,138
(Oven clatters)

20
00:00:45,138 --> 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 --> 00:00:52,789
(Music)

23
00:00:52,789 --> 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
00:01:00,727 --> 00:01:03,887
This is meant to be encouraging people
at home to get involved and bake

26
00:01:03,887 --> 00:01:05,067
for charity.

27
00:01:05,067 --> 00:01:07,168
This is the worst experience of my life!

28
00:01:07,168 --> 00:01:10,128
This is so bad.

29
00:01:10,551 --> 00:01:11,804
(Music stops)

30
00:01:12,603 --> 00:01:15,183
Paul: Uh, can you tell us about your
flapjack, please?

31
00:01:15,183 --> 00:01:17,231
James: Started making it, had a breakdown,

32
00:01:17,231 --> 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 --> 00:01:27,657
Up to him.

36
00:01:27,657 --> 00:01:30,697
Paul: The reason I cut the end bit is 
'cause actually, where it's browned

37
00:01:30,697 --> 00:01:32,886
and caramelized with the butter, 
it's absolutely gorgeous.

38
00:01:32,886 --> 00:01:34,354
Prue: So delicious. Isn't it lovely?
Paul: It is.

39
00:01:34,354 --> 00:01:36,477
Great flavor, not very well executed.

40
00:01:36,477 --> 00:01:37,647
James: Story of my life.

41
00:01:37,647 --> 00:01:41,007
(Laughter)

42
00:01:41,007 --> 00:01:44,527
James: I thought even if baking goes badly

43
00:01:44,527 --> 00:01:47,733
it's a bit of fun. It's not.

44
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:50,633
No, not disappointed--scarred.

45
00:01:52,034 --> 00:01:53,654
(Water splashes into the bowl)

46
00:01:53,654 --> 00:01:55,524
James: Oh, too much, that's too much.

47
00:01:56,591 --> 00:01:58,691
James: This seems absolutely absurd.

48
00:01:58,691 --> 00:02:00,851
That is too much frozen butter.

49
00:02:00,851 --> 00:02:02,141
So, I've go excess dough.

50
00:02:02,141 --> 00:02:04,421
Rylan Clark: You shouldn't have excess
dough, no

51
00:02:04,421 --> 00:02:06,081
James: But, I cut it down
to the size it says here. I don't--

52
00:02:06,081 --> 00:02:08,131
Rylan: You used the whole dough together?

53
00:02:08,131 --> 00:02:09,011
James: Yeah

54
00:02:09,011 --> 00:02:10,561
Rylan: Like, that 10 centimeters by 25?

55
00:02:10,561 --> 00:02:14,041
James: Well, it's too late, now, so I'll--
I'll put the butter in.

56
00:02:15,055 --> 00:02:16,345
Noel: Where are the rest?

57
00:02:16,345 --> 00:02:19,665
James: Oh, let's be realistic.
(Noel laughs)

58
00:02:19,665 --> 00:02:22,005
(Music)

59
00:02:25,188 --> 00:02:25,928
(Music stops)

60
00:02:26,143 --> 00:02:28,543
Prue: Who is responsible for this?

61
00:02:29,053 --> 00:02:35,003
Well, all I can say, is it does have the
ingredients we gave you there.

62
00:02:35,003 --> 00:02:36,973
James: What more could you ask?
(laughter)

63
00:02:37,141 --> 00:02:38,741
Prue: Quite a lot more.

64
00:02:38,905 --> 00:02:42,036
Noel: We would like you to make a
meringue scene.

65
00:02:42,036 --> 00:02:43,911
Basically, your happy place.

66
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:48,807
James: Cowabunga! Surf's up! I'm baking
my happy place, which is Wicksteed Park,

67
00:02:48,807 --> 00:02:51,477
which is Kettering's premier park.

68
00:02:51,477 --> 00:02:53,300
Russell Tovey: Do you want some salt?
I've got some salt.

69
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:55,940
James: I'd love it. Thank you, Russell.

70
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:59,506
Just, making my meringue taste 
like the ocean.

71
00:03:00,164 --> 00:03:01,864
(Russell scoffs and laughs)

72
00:03:01,864 --> 00:03:03,977
James: Shouldn't really go in freehand,
should I? But--

73
00:03:03,977 --> 00:03:06,847
would someone who plays by the books
do this?

74
00:03:07,897 --> 00:03:09,647
(Music)

75
00:03:10,263 --> 00:03:12,490
James: Wiki bear, reclining on the ocean.

76
00:03:12,490 --> 00:03:16,490
I'm icing a raw egg. Does the name Prue
mean anything to you?

77
00:03:17,401 --> 00:03:20,791
I know I'm in danger of constantly adding
to perfection, you know?

78
00:03:21,370 --> 00:03:22,100
(Music)

79
00:03:22,853 --> 00:03:26,463
James: That is the roller coaster in 
meringue. It's sweet egg flavor.

80
00:03:26,463 --> 00:03:28,243
(Laughter)

81
00:03:28,498 --> 00:03:29,828
Russell: Sweet egg?

82
00:03:29,828 --> 00:03:33,828
James: Ah, now, see if you can spot
the secret ingredient in the water.

83
00:03:36,405 --> 00:03:37,802
Prue: No, is the answer.

84
00:03:37,802 --> 00:03:40,192
James: I put a little salt on it, 
for a laugh!

85
00:03:40,192 --> 00:03:42,102
(Laughter)

86
00:03:42,601 --> 00:03:45,021
Prue: You're right, there is a hint.
Paul: I quite like it, actually.

87
00:03:45,021 --> 00:03:46,821
Prue: It's like salted caramel. It's true.

88
00:03:46,821 --> 00:03:48,621
Paul: I think it's brilliant, James.

89
00:03:48,621 --> 00:03:51,861
James: Thank you very much, Paul.
(Applause). Thank you very much.

90
00:03:52,045 --> 00:03:56,045
Paul kinda gave me a look during that 
showstopper that let me know:

91
00:03:56,045 --> 00:04:00,245
Obviously, we can't give it to you, but
you are Star Baker.

92
00:04:00,245 --> 00:04:04,245
(Music)
