Eight million viewers of The Great British Bake Off might have been forgiven for asking questions about dates on Tuesday night.
Nothing to do with the dried fruit used in the showstopper round, though. More a case of, "Why the hell are they doing a Halloween special two weeks before the big day?"
Even if the thinking was that we might want to try the recipes at home it was still a week too early. What are they doing next Tuesday? Mince pies and chocolate logs for Christmas?
