GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF

Wilson is still muttering about the advantages of a winter holiday — how the beaches won't be crowded, hotels will be cheap etc — but at the moment he's in the kitchen, baking.

He has decided not to go Trick-or-Treating this year, but instead to put something back into the celebration by preparing some treats for any Trick-or-Treaters who call on us. 

'I've used EXTRA ANTS!' he told me proudly.

He also plans to open the door to them in as terrifying a way as possible (although he has not yet revealed how this is to be done). 

At least when they regain consciousness after their fright, our young visitors can be revived with Fairy Cakes...
