1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: The Great Australian Bakeoff Series six starts tonight eight thirty

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: on Foxtel's Lifestyle channel and the host with the most

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: Damn purchases with us.

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: Hello, Darren, Welcome Darren.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 3: Good morning guys. How are you very well?

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 4: Now?

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: The show's had a complete makeover, new hosts, new judges,

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: but apart from that, I expect the essence of the

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: show remains the.

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 4: Same, absolutely, right. I think I think the show is

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 4: bigger than the cast, and definitely the bakers at the

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 4: star of the show. But yeah, I'm new and Rachel

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 4: cou is new, so she's my co judge, and then

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 4: we've got awesome hosts Cal and Nat.

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: But the show's stilled the same. Yeah, yeah, it's heartwarming.

16
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

17
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: You know, the thing about baker there's a lot of

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: cooking shows that you can watch, but baking, I've always thought,

19
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Darren is like chemistry.

20
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: It's so much harder.

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: It's so much harder than the main course.

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: Exactly right. Yeah, I mean you've got you've got to

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 4: know your ratios. You can't just sort of chuck stuff in.

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: But you know, at the same point, it's a little

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: bit like a hug from your nan as well. Facing

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 4: it's just it just feels really good. Everyone can do

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: it different degrees of success. Obviously, our amateur bakers this

28
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: year are amazing, so you're going to be seeing some

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 4: really awesome bakes this year.

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 5: Hey, Darren, my wife is obsessed with baking and she

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 5: was very excited that you're coming on the show, and

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 5: so all the questions will come from her.

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: But the one that.

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 5: She came back with, she said, is it possible in

35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: the baking world made to just have your basic chocolate

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 5: cake good? As if everyone want to go over the

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 5: top and do salted caramel layers and all the rest

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 5: of it, can you do the basics?

39
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 4: You know, there's always a place for the basics. I'm

40
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: known for my sort of tricky and technical deserves, but

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: when I'm at home, I cook the basics.

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: You know.

43
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: It could be a very simple lemon tart. It could

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: be a simple chocolate cake or you know, some sort

45
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: of apple crumble. That's the stuff I love to cook

46
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 4: at home, and it's just it's really good.

47
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: So it's a place for all levels of baking.

48
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: You've got twelve bakers from all over Australia, ranging in

49
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: ages from twenty to fifty nine. Do you find there's

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: a difference in the style of baking and ingredients between

51
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the really young ones and the older ones.

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, there is. Yeah.

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: The young ones, you know, they tend to look at

54
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: things like TikTok for sort of trends and things like that,

55
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: and the older ones will create something that probably I'm

56
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: more familiar with. But yeah, there's definitely a diverse cast

57
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 4: from lots of different cultural backgrounds all over Australia. We've

58
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: got a couple of Western Australia representatives as well, so

59
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: we've got Neil and Felicity and that's they're so much fun.

60
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: I can't wait for you to see them.

61
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 5: But we know there are some very good home bakers.

62
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 5: But when you get the pressure of being on set,

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: you've got cameras, you got lights, you got time limits,

64
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 5: and then you've got you judges judging. People can fall apart,

65
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: aren't they.

66
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: They can.

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: It's not a have a pressure cooker, but you know

68
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: that there is still a lot of camaraderie in the

69
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: in the shed, so you know, if one baker finishes early,

70
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 4: they'll whizz over to the bench and give someone out

71
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: a hand. So yeah, it's a competition, but it's not

72
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: it's not super stressful competition, and there's there's a real

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: warmth and a real love in the shed.

74
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a situation when you've put something

75
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: in your mouth and you've thought, thought this is awful,

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: and then you've.

77
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: You've had to give feedback.

78
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: Do you know what I did. I'm not going to

79
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: tell you. I'm not going to see if you see

80
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: if you can see it on the show, but there was.

81
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: One in particular, and I've been you know, obviously coached

82
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: to give you know, compliments wherever I can, but there

83
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: was one in particular that was pretty pretty average.

84
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: But you kind of you've got to find.

85
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: You know, good parts of it and give constructive criticism.

86
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: We're not there to destroy anyone. We're there to build

87
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: people up and help them improve their baking and obviously

88
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 4: inspire the audience at home.

89
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: It can be in the mouth of the beholder.

90
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: I guess.

91
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I record, I'm seeing the odd judge.

92
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm going to say on the On the whole though,

93
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: you know, it's a pretty good job. I was eating

94
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: some amazing food the whole time, so I'm not complaining

95
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 4: every now and again something dodgy.

96
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, matter the the odd judge.

97
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 5: I've seen I reckon Paul Hollywood on the English show

98
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 5: over eating welst judging. That's a that's a real problem

99
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 5: with the do the job.

100
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: Isn't it? It is?

101
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: It is?

102
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: You know, Rachel's far more of a professional than and

103
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: she has she has tiny bites and can still find

104
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 4: amazing criticisms and amazing constructive praise from those tiny bites.

105
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 4: I need, I need to hook in, Yeah, and I get.

106
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: I get pretty full by the end of the episode.

107
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Rachel's just had a baby. I hope she's not expressing.

108
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: And then there's a mix up of milks.

109
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 4: She did she had she had a young baby on

110
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: set and but yeah, wow, she's just such an impressive

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: person because she was coping with everything Britain.

112
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: Speaking of impressive people, Maggie Bee pops up in this series.

113
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Oh she does. We love Maggie. You know.

114
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: It's such an honor for me to following her footsteps

115
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 4: and then just to get the chance to spend some

116
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: time in that iconic share with Maggie. She's a dear

117
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 4: friend and she's yeah, she's just an icon and it

118
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 4: was just so special for all of us, all of

119
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: the production, all the bakers, and to see Maggie once more.

120
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: So really looking forward to that.

121
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: So she is a national treasure and she really knows

122
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: her way around good ice cream too. Let me tell

123
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: you the question everyone wants to know, Darren, what happens

124
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: to all the all the goodies after the show has

125
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: been filmed.

126
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: You know, they don't get away?

127
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: They got away. Yeah, there's the crew swarm around. You know,

128
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: it's a funny show.

129
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 4: Because I've done a lot of cookie shows before, this

130
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 4: is probably the first one where you know, people tend

131
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: to sort of try stuff before even I get to it.

132
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: It's sort of people hanging.

133
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Around and I know cal Wilson was partial to a

134
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: bench scrap, so she's walking around and picking up anything

135
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: that gets cut away. But yeah, it all gets it

136
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 4: all gets distributed to the crew and see the bakers,

137
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: and I think the bakers share amongst themselves and take

138
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 4: stuff home as well. It's just fun that it's beautiful.

139
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: I really hope you're going to love it well.

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: It starts tonight eight point thirty on Foxtel's Lifestyle channel.

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,200
