The Channel 4 Settles.
The series the Channel 4 lineup stopped being new. Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding had a year of tent-banter under them, Prue Leith had settled into her side of the bench next to Paul Hollywood, and the casting class arrived dense end to end. The technical challenges sharpen across the run, and the editing trusts the room to do the work without underlining it. A useful study in a format-wide lineup change becoming a settled house style.
