Rest assured, Bake Off’s three-challenge format remains (incorrigibly) intact. That’s right, it’s the same programme over and over again, despite a promise in the intro that judges “Paul [Hollywood] and Prue [Leith] have set challenges that have to be seen to be believed”.

Treading a fine line between precision and anal retentiveness reminiscent of last year’s Christiaan, London entrepreneur Tom soars with his concoction of blueberry and mascarpone beneath a hyper-neat tartan-patterned inlay. Scientist Hassan, meanwhile, struggles to translate his lab accuracy to the tent, resulting in a delicious roll that “looks like it’s been dropped out of a tree”, per Hollywood. Nee naw, nee naw – sound the plucky-underdog-cooking-from-the-heart alarm, obligatory on every series of Bake Off since the first, 15 years ago!

Something, anything, to break the doughy monotony – though I know that, for the series’ fan base, that’s part of its appeal. While I prefer my entertainment with more bite than crème pat tends to offer, the allure of a cocoon wherein the worst-case scenario is a split custard isn’t lost on me. What’s more, chirpy presenters Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding are undeniably charming (even if Fielding’s Mighty Boosh-ier lines make me wince: “His eyes are like sapphires in a naan bread,” he says of Hollywood). When all is said and done, comfort is what Bake Off does best.

No doubt, Bake Off delivers the latter in spades. Personally, it takes more than caramel to pull me out of an existential spiral, and I can’t be the only one.
