Great british bake-off

The great British bake off is an odd TVs series to get such a large viewership despite being not even prime time TV. The success of TGBB could b me coming from the way the show manages to position its audience in a position of power above the contestants, where viewers see bakers struggling to bake properly which allows the viewers to view themselves as being glad they are not in the situation. Audience reception theory may be also related to the success of the great British bake off, this is seen in that who you are rooting for to win may become a topic of conversation between your friends, making it very social. British bake off also might be successful due to the wide Amount of audiences it manages to attract towards it, the contestants and presenters of Mary berry and Mel&Sue allow all the episodes of the bake off to attract middle age to elder people in because they are similar ages to the presenters running the show, but also because some of the contestants are very young, in the beginning of both episode 1 and 2 they clearly stated twice that their youngest baker was just 19 years old, this may be to attract the one audience it won't get right away with the presenters. The show also has a few minorities, but they are vastly out of proportion compared to the amount of white people, this may be important if another country uses this show as a representation of what Britain is like, as the show likes to flaunt a lot that it's a British baking show, with flags, references to things in Britain like the page 3 of the sun, and even the history of British biscuits and dunking them in tea, it could be seen as a problem that a proudly British show has mostly white members despite Britain being a multicultural society. In conclusion the success of TGBB is a mix of its strong representation to get lots of audiences, and some audience theory
