And thank you.
Well, that was a Bake Off series.
Thank you so much for coming to this Guardian liveblog each and every week. I’ve loved reading all of your views, chatting with you all as well as basking in the collective heat of Bake Off frustrations and in-jokes (I forgot how the mango joke started, but we are where we are.)
A quick personal thank you before I go to Kate and Alexi from The Guardian for ensuring that this liveblog worked each and every week, as well as all of their help and guidance along the way.
Let’s all hope that Bake Off learns from its mistakes and knocks it out of the park in 2023. When Bake Off is at its best it is like nothing else on British television. Its optimism and upbeat nature is truly a tonic, and heck we all need a lot of it at the moment.
I’m on Twitter at @scottygb. See you around the internet. x
