Life of pie: will Sky1's Greggs doc prove too cheesy for viewers?

Never let it be said that Sky1 is not on a roll. Its new docusoap, Baking for Britain, will go behind the scenes at high street baker Greggs. They'll be hoping for a few (Belgian) bun fights to cook up a ratings hit. But will it cut the mustard? Or is the whole docusoap thing a bit pasty its sell by date? Channel 5's Eddie Stobart series certainly pulled in decent ratings, but it remains to be seen how much appetite viewers have for Greggs. Haute TV? Or eminently indigestible? Pass the cheese and pickle, er, remote please.
