26 July 2018

Liam Charles is on a mission, to get the nation baking. His infectious enthusiasm for masterminding delicious bakes won over the nation in last summer’s The Great British Bake Off but since he cut his teeth in the famous white tent Liam’s passion – and skill – has continued to grow.

As charming as he is cheeky, the Hackney born and bred 20-year-old truly believes that baking is a universal language that brings people together. In this 6x30’, as yet untitled series from Love Productions, he will share this passion, showing us that baking can bring us together.

Embarking on a personal culinary crusade Liam’s will showcase some of his favourite recipes, inspired by his family and friends, whilst also presenting an intimate portrait of Liam’s East London Life.

Filmed in and around East London where he is from Liam will showcase easy to make and easy to follow sweet and savoury bakes. He will also take to the streets of his community to show how his love of baking has been inspired by his life and the street food he loves to eat when out with his friends.

Throughout the series Liam will be joined by those closest to him and see how his culinary creations are inspired by the people and places that mean the most to him.

The series was commissioned by Channel 4’s Deputy Head of Programmes, Head of Formats and Features Sarah Lazenby and Commissioning Editor, Formats and Features Vivienne Molokwu. Executive producers for Love Productions are Kieran Smith and Letty Kavanagh.
