Episode 1
Angus Deayton hosts the search for Britain's best team of pastry chefs. The teams must make 36 identical moka au cafe slices and 36 identical napoleons.
Hosted by Angus Deayton, the pastry competition returns in a revamped knockout format, as five teams battle to stay in the competition and make it through to the next heat in their half of the draw.
The teams are put through two testing challenges in just 36 hours, presided over by returning judges Benoit Blin and Cherish Finden. The first challenge demands that the teams make 36 identical moka au cafe slices and 36 identical napoleons in just three hours.
The second challenge demands that they each make an extraordinary showpiece dessert by reinventing the classic peach melba in just four hours. The team with the lowest total score at the end of the final challenge leaves the competition.
