The Great British Bake Off has faced technical problems for the second week in a row.

Channel 4's myriad of technical problems stretched into the second straight week during Tuesday's Bread Week episode (October 5) of Bake Off, angering viewers who couldn't watch their favourite show.

Last week's episode was riddled with audio issues, including problems with its closed captions. This particular problem has continued on Channel 4 throughout the last week.

The subtitles were absent once again on Tuesday night, but many viewers couldn't see the episode at all either. Instead, they were shown a Channel 4 disclaimer promising "programmes continue shortly".

One viewer illustrated how randomly these technical problems were impacting viewers because Channel 4 was displaying properly in one room of their home and off air in the other.

Another frustrated Bake Off fan called the disruption "the most upsetting thing that's happened today," while many others vented their annoyance on social media as well.

Earlier in the week, Channel 4 had released a statement explaining that it was still experiencing complications from a fire alarm going off at one of its facilities in September.

A Channel 4 spokesperson offered no timeline for resolution, as well as admitting further problems could impact programming across E4 and All4 in the future.

"We would like to apologise for any problems you might still be experiencing as you watch your favourite shows. We want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to return to a normal service as quickly as possible," a statement read. "Until then, bear with us if things don't always go to plan. We are trying our best."

Thus far, Channel 4 and E4 shows such as Taskmaster, Married at First Sight UK and Gogglebox have all been disrupted, fallen off air or aired incorrect episodes because of these technical problems.
