Like many others I so love this show - though have only seen up to season 3, and am looking for where to see season 4. Did not know they had already done season 7 and shown 6 on PBS.
I very much hope they find a way to do a show with all 4 of the principals, one way or the other, on BBC. BTW - Why is this show so great? I mean, it is great, but what makes it so great? I keep hearing it described as civil, and that is a big part of it, but the judges, especially, Paul, can be pretty tough. I particularly like how important it is to the contestants to do well - not so much to make money or fame, but to get the approval of world class bakers that they respect.
