Episode 45 : As we leave summer behind, there is much more TV to see. The Great British Bake-Off highlights Jaffa Cake ignorance, James has watched all three pilots in Amazon Pilot Season and we encounter some great new BBC documentaries in Skies Above Britain and The Chronicles of Nadiya. Plus a quick rundown of Sitcom Season on the BBC.

Next time is our one year Televigion anniversary, so we need your thoughts on your favourite “special episodes”!
