Today is a great day for telly fans, with The Great British Bake Off set to return to our screens for its 2020 edition.
Some major behind the scenes changes allowed the series to be filmed over six weeks during lockdown, and anticipation for the series is extremely high as a new batch of contestants enter the tent, hoping to earn a coveted Hollywood handshake in the fight to be named Star Baker.
However fans will have to wait ever-so-slightly longer than first anticipated to enjoy the new series, with a very slight delay to tonight's first episode - read on for everything you need to know.
What time is Great British Bake Off on TV tonight?
Bake Off was originally billed to start at 8pm tonight, but that has now been pushed back slightly to 8.15pm.

This year's batch of amateur bakers was announced last week, and as usual there's an interesting mix of contestants hoping to follow in the footsteps of last year's winner David Atherton.
The Great British Bake Off 2020 contestants, who all lived in a bubble for the duration of filming, include an armoured guard, a bronze resin sculptor and a pantomime producer.
