Biscuit Week
The bakers tackle signature biscuits that will say something both about them and a place in the British Isles. Next the bakers face their first Technical, and hiding under the gingham cloth is one of Paul's childhood favourites - an iconic biscuit that's sure to send the bakers round in circles. Finally, it's crunch time. The bakers will have to be picture perfect with their first showstopper - a spectacular 3D biscuit portrait challenge that requires precision baking and superb decorating skills. Three challenges, three chances to win star baker, three chances to avoid leaving the tent.

It's Bread Week, and the ten remaining bakers have a lot to prove with three tough challenges set by judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

Pastry Week
It's Pastry Week, and as this year's competition passes the halfway mark, Paul and Prue are looking for perfection. For the Signature challenge, it's samosa time - with a sweet and a savoury option to test the bakers. There's a classic French Technical involving two types of pastry. And the ambitious final challenge sees the bakers pushed to the edge creating a majestic pie fit for a banquet.

Vegan Week
For the very first time on Bake Off, it's Vegan week. Prue and Paul have set three very different challenges to test the remaining bakers. A savoury pastry Signature, with no butter involved. A cracking Technical, with a very unusual ingredient. And finally, a spectacular Showstopper that, in the heat of the tent, threatens to lead to catastrophe. Who will keep their cool and win star baker? And who will be meeting their end?
s09e08 Danish Week 2018-10-16 19:00
Danish Week
Velkommen to Danish Week in the latest episode of The Great British Bake Off. The bakers face unfamiliar recipes as they battle to impress Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. There's a bread challenge Signature where they must demonstrate style as well substance. Paul sets a spherical Technical - and with a place in the Bake Off Semi-final at stake, everyone is out to impress. And for their final challenge, the bakers must deliver an elaborate pastry Showstopper fit for a Danish birthday party. Who will become an honorary Great Dane, and who will be leaving the tent?

Patisserie Week - Semi-Final
It's the semi-final of the Great British Bake Off, and the remaining bakers are desperate to claim their place in the final. They know they are just three patisserie challenges away from the biggest day in their baking lives. First comes the Signature, and there's a deceptively simple challenge with Paul and Prue looking for perfection. The heat is on with Prue's complex, multi-layered Technical. And the semi-finalists feel the pressure when they're asked to create a spectacular Showstopper that could grace a Parisian patisserie. Who has the skill to reach the Bake Off final? And who will fall at the final hurdle?

Final
Twelve bakers started. Now just three remain. But only one can be crowned winner of The Great British Bake Off 2018. This week's final sees Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith set three challenges that will test every aspect of the bakers' skills. In the judges' last Signature challenge, the bakers tackle doughnuts and the tricky task of immaculate decoration. There's a deceptively simple Technical, save for one key feature: it's not baked in the tent! And, on the final day, as the bakers' families gather outside the tent, there's one last challenge: an intricate, multi-layered, edible landscape Showstopper that could win them the title.
