📺 “The Great British Bake Off” Final | Netflix
I can’t believe that Rahul pulled it out after seeming to fall so far behind in the past week or so (at least based on the editing). His flavors and past performance seemed to have pulled him through though. I’ve been kind of irked at how they seem to only judge people on their current week’s performance without taking into account any of their past performance. Perhaps this episode marks a slight change?

Rating:
Much more darkly lit and dingy-looking than the original, some good songs (though none as great as the original), but tremendously still bright and uplifting. How can you not have some hope after watching this?
Dick Van Dyke stole the show at the end. Miranda’s accent was for crap, but he had a generally nice turn; I also liked the magic of the lamplighters in place of the chimney sweeps. Blunt didn’t seem to have the cute whimsy of Andrews’ Mary Poppins.
