Noel and Matt were delightfully frivolous, Prue was still giddy at the prospect of eating a very boozy cake, and Paul’s “white walker” eyes still stalked the tent like a lioness hunting a gazelle.

The Technical Challenge was to bake my personal favourite, a ginormous six-layered red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. At the other end of the scale were Janusz, Sandro, Abdul and Syabira, though despite the fierce competition for teacher’s pet, Paul kept his Hollywood Handshake to himself.

"The phone call is technical, almost like a quiz. "I think I sent up to about 20 photos. They want to see at least five photos of different styles of baking, but that's a minimum.

Put those things into an oven of psychodramatic grief in which it’s the most natural thing in the world to label a member of a Royal family as not just approximating, but being, one’s own grandmother, and the least natural thing in the world to even whisper the word “colonialism,” and the conclusion is inescapable. Had the Queen died while Great British Bake Off was still filming, things would have gotten very dark indeed. Matt Lucas would have continued to be on screen.

While James, a 25-year-old nuclear scientist from Cumbria, came 12th with Dame Prue explaining that they “didn’t like the decoration much” of his cake and there was “not quite enough cream in the middle”.

Dame Prue said it was “light and boozy” which to her was “perfect”, while Hollywood felt there was too much of an alcoholic flavour for him. I’m proud of that.” Dame Prue admitted that it appeared like “quite a simple challenge”, but said what they were looking for is “a bit of originality”.

In the first five minutes of episode one, Irish woman Rebs compares Paul Hollywood to a Whitewalker from Game Of Thrones, thus setting herself up for disaster.

He is dotey, but the pressure is too much for this man. 25-year-old James is both a nuclear scientist and an immense flirt, but that does not mean that he is immune from potential elimination.
