Television pundits were going mad this afternoon with the leaked news that the finale of Great British Bake Off on Channel 4 features the winner of the competition baking Noel Fielding into a space cake and consuming him.
Rumours suggest that the leak occurred after Russian computer hackers decided to make mischief with the programme. They became upset after seeing photos of Paul Hollywood dressed as Joseph Stalin for a fancy dress party.
A production runner on the C4 set spoke to the Rochdale Herald’s ‘The Mighty Boosh Was Great’ correspondent to learn more about the finale,
“The producers wanted an ending no one would forget.” The runner, who can not be named out of security concerns, revealed. “They were terrified over the bond that Sandi developed with Noel during the course of recording and basically concerned they wouldn’t be able to get rid of him, if they felt it got too wacky with his hair. At one point he was sleeping on Sandi’s lap dressed as a Boston Terrier with a glitter fetish in between recording sessions. It was pretty terrifying for everyone involved.”
Mr Fielding, well known for the wonderful and imaginative television series, The Mighty Boosh, with that other guy, has not visibly done much since becoming a made man on the panel television circuit.
Not that that’s a problem. It’s the well worn arc for anyone working in comedy in England. It means once you’ve written one really good joke you can retire and hang out with your buddies and get paid for it. You don’t have to be some sort of crazed Spike Milligan character constantly writing volumes of new material till you die.
What happens to the winner after they eat the Noel Fielding Space cake isn’t revealed in the leak. However the runner said they turn into a giant talking moon and float away.
There is plenty of cake left. C4 is planning to auction it to pay a bunch of hipsters to make another series of The Mighty Boosh with the other guy, as soon as he’s found. We really like him. Someone go and wake him up too.
