About This Program ✦
The programme titled The Final is an episode‑type broadcast that pits the remaining contestants against one another in a bake‑off. It’s presented as a stand‑alone instalment within its series, and its format follows the familiar competition structure that viewers will recognise. In this particular episode the last three bakers are set the task of creating doughnuts. The challenge is described as a deceptively simple technical, meaning that while the basics of doughnut‑making may appear straightforward, the execution demands precision. On top of that, the bakers must turn the pastries into an edible landscape showstopper, adding a visual and artistic dimension to the bake. The competitors therefore have to balance two demanding aspects: mastering the technical requirements of a perfect doughnut and shaping it into a striking, landscape‑inspired presentation. Each baker works under the pressure of limited time and resources, striving to meet both criteria simultaneously. All three contestants are racing to secure the title of 2018 winner, with the doughnut challenge serving as the decisive round. Their success hinges on whether they can combine flawless technique with an eye‑catching, edible tableau, ultimately determining who walks away with the coveted prize.
The Great British Bake Off broadcasts on Food Network at 8:00pm, Sunday, 8 February 2026. (Subtitles)
