Bake Off: The Professionals, C4, 8pm
THE recent run of The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up to Cancer gave us a chance to check out the talents of some very amateur bakers – Caroline Flack and Georgia “Toff” Toffolo’s showstoppers come to mind – but now it’s the turn of experts in the shape of teams from top hotels, restaurants and small businesses. In the first of two heats, six duos must craft batches of linzer tortes and bakewell tarts before reinventing red velvet cake as a showpiece.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
