<Dd> This challenge is for the bakers to show off their skills and talent . The judges favour a bake that is both of a professional appearance but is also outstanding in taste . </Dd> <P> In the first series, the location of the cast and crew moves from town to town each week, but starting from the second series, the competition is held in one location in a specially constructed marquee . Interspersed in the programme are the background of the contestants as well as video vignettes on the history of baking . What each baker intends to bake during a particular challenge is illustrated using animated graphics . These graphics have been created by illustrator Tom Hovey since the show's inception in 2010 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Series </Th> <Th> Episodes </Th> <Th> Premiere </Th> <Th> Finale </Th> <Th> Winner </Th> <Th> Runners - up </Th> <Th> Average UK viewers (millions) </Th> <Th> Timeslot </Th> <Th> Channel </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> 17 August 2010 </Td> <Td> 21 September 2010 </Td> <Td> Edd Kimber </Td> <Td> Miranda Gore Browne </Td> <Td> 2.77 </Td> <Td> Tuesday 8: 00 pm </Td> <Td> BBC Two </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ruth Clemens </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 14 August 2011 </Td> <Td> 4 October 2011 </Td> <Td> Joanne Wheatley </Td> <Td> Holly Bell </Td> <Td> 4.00 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mary - Anne Boermans </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 14 August 2012 </Td> <Td> 16 October 2012 </Td> <Td> John Whaite </Td> <Td> Brendan Lynch </Td> <Td> 5.00 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> James Morton </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 20 August 2013 </Td> <Td> 22 October 2013 </Td> <Td> Frances Quinn </Td> <Td> Kimberley Wilson </Td> <Td> 7.35 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ruby Tandoh </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 5 </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 6 August 2014 </Td> <Td> 8 October 2014 </Td> <Td> Nancy Birtwhistle </Td> <Td> Luis Troyano </Td> <Td> 10.04 </Td> <Td> Wednesday 8: 00 pm </Td> <Td> BBC One </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Richard Burr </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 6 </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 5 August 2015 </Td> <Td> 7 October 2015 </Td> <Td> Nadiya Hussain </Td> <Td> Ian Cumming </Td> <Td> 12.50 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tamal Ray </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 7 </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 24 August 2016 </Td> <Td> 26 October 2016 </Td> <Td> Candice Brown </Td> <Td> Andrew Smyth </Td> <Td> 13.85 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jane Beedle </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 8 </Th> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 29 August 2017 </Td> <Td> 31 October 2017 </Td> <Td> Sophie Faldo </Td> <Td> Kate Lyon </Td> <Td> 9.29 </Td> <Td> Tuesday 8: 00 pm </Td> <Td> Channel 4 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Steven Carter - Bailey </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Series </Th> <Th> Episodes </Th> <Th> Premiere </Th> <Th> Finale </Th> <Th> Winner </Th> <Th> Runners - up </Th> <Th> Average UK viewers (millions) </Th> <Th> Timeslot </Th> <Th> Channel </Th> </Tr>
