Kate and Amelia discuss “Biscuit Week” in all its crispy, snappy, gingerbread-y glory. We talk about successes and failures from the tricky brandysnap signature challenge (0:40), a distinctive lack of definition from the deceptively difficult jammy-cookie sandwich technical challenge (12:30), and incredible interactive biscuit toys from the showstopper challenge (17:30). Finally we hand out our awards for the soggiest bottom, the most absurdly British moment, best soundbites, and many more (29:35).
