Sunday, Channel 5, 6.30pm During a survey to celebrate National Cake Day last year, 30 per cent of Brits confessed that they eat cake as a regular snack in-between meals. So with programmes like the Great British Bake Off seemingly making cake more popular than ever before, what is the nation’s favourite? Here, celebrities including JLS singer JB Gill, Blue star Duncan James, broadcaster and author Grace Dent, former Emmerdale actress Natalie Anderson, and ex-Blue Peter presenter Radzi Chinyanganya help count down the nation’s top 20 cakes. Plus, we discover the mysteries of lifelike cake illusions and the secret messages hidden in Royal cakes, as well as taking a look behind the scenes at an exceedingly big cake factory.
Have you answered a phonecall today? Perhaps you had a package delivered to your home or made an appointment where you were asked for your name. We may be cut off from much of the world for now, but we are still interacting with people we do not know, people who need to know what to call us.

But for others, it can be a frequent preoccupation, because of how it is mispronounced or how it is not given the same regard as other, more common names. Why is there sometimes a reluctance to get peopleâs names exactly right in terms of pronunciation and spelling? Why are certain names given more attention than others, and how important are our names and their meanings?

Given the nature of my job I have been one of pretty much a handful of employees coming into HQ at Baile na hAbhann since the first lockdown. It was a strange feeling at first coming into work during a pandemic. In fairness, management in TG4 has had very strict protocols in place from day one about who can enter the building etc.
