Show Notes
Behind the West End homage to GBBO with writer Jake Brunger, and assessing the post-lockdown health of London’s theatreland with ES arts correspondent Rob Dex.
The GBBO musical joins the likes of Only Fools and Horses, Friends, Fawlty Towers and the Eurovision Song Contest in hoping it’s got the star ingredients to tempt fans off the sofa to watch a play of a show they’ve already enjoyed on the TV.
The gentle scandal of baked Alaska “bingate” is among highlights of culinary TV drama woven into the stage production.
