"What's Ian doing?"published at 20:09
Nadiya and Tamal - who isn't flavouring his dough mix - aren't sure if their doughs are rising as needed and conspiratorially attempt to check on Ian's efforts...

Ian's pushing the bun boats outpublished at 20:09
Ian's going all out for his Signature Bake, going for an elderflower and lemon mix and a more spicy dough, which will be filled with apple and cranberry jam.
He's making life particularly tricky for himself as he mixes up two different batches of flavoured dough, and reveals his elderflower concoction was inspired by a recent bike ride.
"Are you going to finish in time?" Mary says, as Ian looks upwards with a sigh of trepidation.
Paul steps in. "You have to finish. There is no 'I might do'." The rotter!
What’s the deal with enriched dough?published at 20:08
Enriched dough. Sounds like a euphemism for a high interest bank account – but don’t worry baking fans, it’s definitely of the tasty variety, meaning any dough that goes beyond the basic formula of salt, water, flour and yeast to incorporate goodies such as butter, eggs and oil. Tonight our finalists are using their enriched dough recipes to create filled iced buns.
Naturally, Paul Hollywood is a natural with this bready concoction and devoted a whole episode of his recent series on Bread to it – recipes from which can be found here.
To get started, you’ll need to know how to knead, and BBC Food’s video on the technique is the perfect place to start. You’ll also want a recipe to try your hand at, so keep it Hollywood with his classic iced fingers recipe.
Tamal's mum-inspired Signature Bakepublished at 20:07
Tamal is making cinammon and apple buns, and toffee and marmalade iced buns for his Signature Bake. The former being inspired by the apple turnovers made by his mum when he was little - awww!
Sounds absolutely scrumptious, although Paul gives Tamal one of his (most-likely) trademarked looks of skepticism as Tamal reveals he's using unflavoured royal icing as his topping.
Nerves seem to get the better of the doctor, as a clatter of kitchen utensils fly off his work bench. Luckily, Nadiya ditches any potential rivalry for her friend and helps him with the clean-up!

27 challenges later...published at 20:05
Challenge 28 - in other words, the final Signature Challenge - requires the bakers to make 16 filled iced buns, eight each of their chosen two flavours.
"This is the Great British Bake Off Final. We're looking for single thing they prepare to be the best they can produce." Paul says, not at all ominously before declaring, "An iced bun is a thing of beauty!"
Meanwhile, Mary demonstrates how much she loves sinking her teeth into one of the enriched dough treats and reveals that this year's finalists are so evenly matched, the contest is too close for her to call.
Ladies and gentlemen - let the baking battle commence!published at 20:04
The Great British Bake Off 2015 Final begins!
"Do I look nervous?" Tamal and Nadia compare their faces of fear as they don their aprons for the Signature Challenge.
"I keep wanting to tell people - strangers - I'm in the Final, me!" experimental flavour king Tamal jokes.
"I'm kind of battling myself a little bit... I really want to win. I've come in feeling very strange this morning" spectacular three-time Star Baker Nadiya admits.
And stand-out competitor Ian lets us into his not-so secret diary; "I wrote up in my journal, 'this could be a pivotal moment in my life this weekend'."
