It’s “The Great British Baking Show: The Beginnings.” Couldn’t be happier. It's lovely that Netflix is showing it, but it was definitely seen on PBS -- it even has the PBS logo at the beginning. It's the season shown on PBS most recently, just months ago: BBC Series 3, which is PBS Season 5, and is now Netflix "TGBBS The Beginnings, Season 1." I've been a defender/explainer of the different numbering systems in the UK and on PBS, but I can't find any excuse for this new system. Anyway, it's the season with Ryan, Cathryn, Brendan, Sarah-Jane, John, and James.

limecoke November 9, 2018 Share November 9, 2018 (edited) Thanks. That explains it because I completely ignored the recent PBS airing knowing it was an old one I’d seen on YouTube a couple of years ago. I’m enjoying watching it again though the finalists weren’t my all.time favorites (was happy about the winner though). I assume we’ll eventually get season 1 & 2 on “Beginnings” after PBS airs them. Someday. I noticed that Netflix dropped the new season today. I might save that for a bit as I just watched season eight.

Yeah, I'm not sure why PBS felt the need to renumber the seasons when they aired them because it just ended up confusing everyone about which season they were actually watching. Hopefully this helps! UK S1 (2010) UK S2 (2011) UK S3 (2012) = US PBS S5 (2018) = US Netflix "The Beginnings" collection 1 UK S4 (2013) = US PBS S2 (2015) = US Netflix GBBS collection 2 UK S5 (2014) = US PBS S1 (2015) = US Netflix GBBS collection 1 UK S6 (2015) = US PBS S3 (2016) = US Netflix GBBS collection 3 UK S7 (2016) = US PBS S4 (2017) = US Netflix GBBS collection 4 UK S8 (2017) = US Netflix GBBS collection 5 UK S9 (2018) = US Netflix GBBS collection 6 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12562-gbbo-in-the-media/page/10/#findComment-4824711
Rinaldo November 11, 2018 Share November 11, 2018 1 hour ago, ElectricBoogaloo said: I'm not sure why PBS felt the need to renumber the seasons when they aired them That bit's the easy part to understand, as far as I'm concerned, because if you're picking up an ongoing series and airing it in a new market for the first time, calling your first season "Season 5" is just asking for complaints and confusion. Unfortunately that one (understandable) decision doomed them to further confusion as they alternated moving forward and dipping into the past in subsequent years. This helpful listing (thanks, @ElectricBoogaloo!) shows that Netflix is retaining the PBS numbers up to 4, then continuing consecutively into newer seasons, which shunting off anything earlier than UK S4 into a separate "Beginnings" identity. (We may hope they'll eventually add the first two UK series, never otherwise to be seen in the US.) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/12562-gbbo-in-the-media/page/10/#findComment-4824808

I'm not particularly a fan of hers but I liked the interview. I thought these two parts were notable: Quote The show has evolved pastoral care: “Someone rings you every few days just to have a chat. And I think that carries on for quite a while. She called us throughout the whole show, and still calls now. I’ve not needed any support. But sometimes you can’t really tell with people, they surprise you.” Quote “I am modest,” she says, “but I think Rahul is more modest. If it came across the other way, it’s because I always expected things to go badly in the tent, not to be as good as it was at home, so if something went wrong in the tent, I didn’t really talk about it. Whereas Rahul expected everything to be perfect, because that’s how it was at home.” It's an interesting take on Rahul's anxiety in the tent and I'm so glad Love Productions does look after contestants.

Joining Harry, Prue Leith will swap the grown ups tent to judge the budding junior bakers alongside Bake Off alumni Liam Charles. Forty of the country’s best junior bakers, aged 9-15 will enter the Bake Off tent where their cake-making, biscuit baking, bread and pastry making skills will be tested to the limit. In each of the ten heats, the junior bakers face two challenges, the Technical Bake and the Showstopper with only four making it through to the grand final. I avoid the Chopped Junior, GGG Junior, and any of the other Food Network series with child competitors because I disagree with treating them like they are professionals (calling them "chefs").
