colin paterson went for a sneak preview. welcome to the great british bake off. - theme plays. five years in the making, or should that be in the baking? great british bake off the musical has arrived. # now we re here. # the famous tent.# the musical is fully endorsed by love productions who make the tv show. # get ready to man your bench in the bake off tent.# they ve even helped out by lending the real bake off food mixers. and although the names of the judges have been slightly changed, they re very familiar. my character s called pam lee. yeah. and i m phil hollinghurst, and any resemblance to anyone living or dead is purely coincidence. yes. fictional. i think it s important to say it s not a parody, is it? oh, no. very much not. no, no. it s an affectionate homage to the world of bake off. i we poke fun at the show. a little bit here and there,
