Season 3
Synopsis
Watch The Great British Bake Off (2012), Season 3 online on iFILM — fourteen episodes of Britain's gentlest competition, with twelve fresh amateur bakers and two filming days behind every round.
The tent moves to Harptree Court in Somerset this year, and the weekly format is fully locked in: a signature bake, a blind technical from the judges' own recipe, and a showstopper built purely to impress. The themes work through the whole British canon — cakes with a hidden picture inside, eight-strand plaited loaves, tarte tatin, puddings, sweet dough, biscuits, and finally the fiddly petits fours. There's no soft week; you can come undone on a plain sponge just as easily as on stubborn caramel.
Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood do the judging, while Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins take the edge off with a steady stream of jokes. It's the kind of season you happily leave running in the background. Watch The Great British Bake Off Season 3 online on iFILM.
