In this episode of Gin and Cake, we natter away as the contestants take pains with pastry in Season One, Episode Seven of The Great British Baking Show, along with an amble into English, Napoleon, and the worryingly carb-free futures of sci fi.

So cue up Episode Seven (or just listen along), make a delicious beverage, and find out why invading Russia is a terrible idea. It's Gin and Cake time!

For those who want to watch along, the Great British Baking Show is back on Netflix! You can also purchase it on Amazon, if you can't live without owning it (like us).
