00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:03.010
James Acaster: Never baked before. 
Let alone competitively.

00:00:03.010 --> 00:00:04.730
Let alone on Bakeoff.

00:00:04.730 --> 00:00:07.510
It's the worst idea anyone's ever had.

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:11.913
Paul Hollywood: The texture of your flapjack--
James: It is perf.

00:00:11.913 --> 00:00:13.413
Paul: --on the top, it looks 
a bit wet.

00:00:13.413 --> 00:00:15.763
James: Oh yeah, that's 'cause 
it's not baked yet.

00:00:15.763 --> 00:00:16.823
(Prue and Noel laugh)

00:00:16.823 --> 00:00:19.463
James: Ah. I can explain this to you.

00:00:19.463 --> 00:00:22.503
Before it goes in the oven, 
it's often a lot soggier.

00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:24.069
Paul: Right, ok.

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:26.329
James: Is the texture ok? Good joke!

00:00:26.329 --> 00:00:29.057
Wanna shake my hand now or later?

00:00:29.057 --> 00:00:30.187
(Music)

00:00:30.187 --> 00:00:34.689
James: Up to you. You can shake it now 
to save yourself the bother

00:00:34.689 --> 00:00:37.582
or you can shake it later on 
and eat humble pie

00:00:37.582 --> 00:00:38.902
as well as these flapjacks.

00:00:38.902 --> 00:00:40.878
Sandy: Bakers, you have half an hour.

00:00:40.878 --> 00:00:43.790
Music

00:00:43.790 --> 00:00:45.138
(Oven clatters)

00:00:45.138 --> 00:00:47.668
James: Right, I wish I were dead 
(scoffs).

00:00:47.668 --> 00:00:50.949
I'm not taking that out the oven.
It's like a soup.

00:00:50.949 --> 00:00:52.789
(Music)

00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:55.809
James: Come on. Be magically done.

00:00:55.809 --> 00:00:59.089
The mixture is...still liquid.

00:01:00.727 --> 00:01:03.887
This is meant to be encouraging people
at home to get involved and bake

00:01:03.887 --> 00:01:05.067
for charity.

00:01:05.067 --> 00:01:07.168
This is the worst experience of my life!

00:01:07.168 --> 00:01:10.128
This is so bad.

00:01:10.551 --> 00:01:11.804
(Music stops)

00:01:12.603 --> 00:01:15.183
Paul: Uh, can you tell us about your
flapjack, please?

00:01:15.183 --> 00:01:17.231
James: Started making it, had a breakdown,

00:01:17.231 --> 00:01:19.061
bon appétit!

00:01:19.061 --> 00:01:23.061
(Laughter)

00:01:24.167 --> 00:01:26.047
James: Bit of a small bit.

00:01:26.047 --> 00:01:27.657
Up to him.

00:01:27.657 --> 00:01:30.697
Paul: The reason I cut the end bit is 
'cause actually, where it's browned

00:01:30.697 --> 00:01:32.886
and caramelized with the butter, 
it's absolutely gorgeous.

00:01:32.886 --> 00:01:34.354
Prue: So delicious. Isn't it lovely?
Paul: It is.

00:01:34.354 --> 00:01:36.477
Great flavor, not very well executed.

00:01:36.477 --> 00:01:37.647
James: Story of my life.

00:01:37.647 --> 00:01:41.007
(Laughter)

00:01:41.007 --> 00:01:44.527
James: I thought even if baking goes badly

00:01:44.527 --> 00:01:47.733
it's a bit of fun. It's not.

00:01:47.733 --> 00:01:50.633
No, not disappointed--scarred.

00:01:52.034 --> 00:01:53.654
(Water splashes into the bowl)

00:01:53.654 --> 00:01:55.524
James: Oh, too much, that's too much.

00:01:56.591 --> 00:01:58.691
James: This seems absolutely absurd.

00:01:58.691 --> 00:02:00.851
That is too much frozen butter.

00:02:00.851 --> 00:02:02.141
So, I've go excess dough.

00:02:02.141 --> 00:02:04.421
Rylan Clark: You shouldn't have excess
dough, no

00:02:04.421 --> 00:02:06.081
James: But, I cut it down
to the size it says here. I don't--

00:02:06.081 --> 00:02:08.131
Rylan: You used the whole dough together?

00:02:08.131 --> 00:02:09.011
James: Yeah

00:02:09.011 --> 00:02:10.561
Rylan: Like, that 10 centimeters by 25?

00:02:10.561 --> 00:02:14.041
James: Well, it's too late, now, so I'll--
I'll put the butter in.

00:02:15.055 --> 00:02:16.345
Noel: Where are the rest?

00:02:16.345 --> 00:02:19.665
James: Oh, let's be realistic.
(Noel laughs)

00:02:19.665 --> 00:02:22.005
(Music)

00:02:25.188 --> 00:02:25.928
(Music stops)

00:02:26.143 --> 00:02:28.543
Prue: Who is responsible for this?

00:02:29.053 --> 00:02:35.003
Well, all I can say, is it does have the
ingredients we gave you there.

00:02:35.003 --> 00:02:36.973
James: What more could you ask?
(laughter)

00:02:37.141 --> 00:02:38.741
Prue: Quite a lot more.

00:02:38.905 --> 00:02:42.036
Noel: We would like you to make a
meringue scene.

00:02:42.036 --> 00:02:43.911
Basically, your happy place.

00:02:43.967 --> 00:02:48.807
James: Cowabunga! Surf's up! I'm baking
my happy place, which is Wicksteed Park,

00:02:48.807 --> 00:02:51.477
which is Kettering's premier park.

00:02:51.477 --> 00:02:53.300
Russell Tovey: Do you want some salt?
I've got some salt.

00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:55.940
James: I'd love it. Thank you, Russell.

00:02:55.940 --> 00:02:59.506
Just, making my meringue taste 
like the ocean.

00:03:00.164 --> 00:03:01.864
(Russell scoffs and laughs)

00:03:01.864 --> 00:03:03.977
James: Shouldn't really go in freehand,
should I? But--

00:03:03.977 --> 00:03:06.847
would someone who plays by the books
do this?

00:03:07.897 --> 00:03:09.647
(Music)

00:03:10.263 --> 00:03:12.490
James: Wiki bear, reclining on the ocean.

00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:16.490
I'm icing a raw egg. Does the name Prue
mean anything to you?

00:03:17.401 --> 00:03:20.791
I know I'm in danger of constantly adding
to perfection, you know?

00:03:21.370 --> 00:03:22.100
(Music)

00:03:22.853 --> 00:03:26.463
James: That is the roller coaster in 
meringue. It's sweet egg flavor.

00:03:26.463 --> 00:03:28.243
(Laughter)

00:03:28.498 --> 00:03:29.828
Russell: Sweet egg?

00:03:29.828 --> 00:03:33.828
James: Ah, now, see if you can spot
the secret ingredient in the water.

00:03:36.405 --> 00:03:37.802
Prue: No, is the answer.

00:03:37.802 --> 00:03:40.192
James: I put a little salt on it, 
for a laugh!

00:03:40.192 --> 00:03:42.102
(Laughter)

00:03:42.601 --> 00:03:45.021
Prue: You're right, there is a hint.
Paul: I quite like it, actually.

00:03:45.021 --> 00:03:46.821
Prue: It's like salted caramel. It's true.

00:03:46.821 --> 00:03:48.621
Paul: I think it's brilliant, James.

00:03:48.621 --> 00:03:51.861
James: Thank you very much, Paul.
(Applause). Thank you very much.

00:03:52.045 --> 00:03:56.045
Paul kinda gave me a look during that 
showstopper that let me know:

00:03:56.045 --> 00:04:00.245
Obviously, we can't give it to you, but
you are Star Baker.

00:04:00.245 --> 00:04:04.245
(Music)
