Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be retuning to the programme as judges, while Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding are coming back to present the Channel 4 series. Now, ahead of the series launch, a Great British Bake Off promo has been released by the broadcaster. It starts off in the style of a news report, as the news reader declares: “Cake fever is sweeping the nation.” Meanwhile, shoppers frantically run behind outside of a supermarket before a cover of All Together Now by The Beatles kicks in.

People hurriedly clear the shelves of a supermarket of the baking ingredients as supplies run low. The teaser goes on to show different people cooking up a storm in their kitchens. In one hilarious segment, a baker gets down to pray to the portrait of Paul that’s mounted on the wall. In a divine moment, a hand extends from the painting as it appears she is receiving the coveted Hollywood handshake. Other scenes include fencers sparring with baguettes, schoolchildren munching on a giant sandwich and an elderly woman sharing a cup of tea and a cake with a drag queen. In the surreal video, miners sing from an oven while clutching golden pasties while another figure flies across the countryside in a hot air balloon in the shape of a birthday cake.

Cakes styled in the likeness of Noel, Sandi, Paul and Prue also appear toward the end of the trailer, singing along to the music. Although an air date for the programme is as of yet unknown, the video’s title says the programme is “coming soon” to Channel 4. All previous seasons, including those broadcast on the BBC, premiered in August. Last year’s instalment kicked off on August 28, while the season prior began on August 29 so viewers could expect a date around then for the upcoming series. The contestants for the show are also as of yet unknown but can be expected to be released before the programme kicks off.
