The Great Pottery Throw Down

I adore this show. The BBC were silly for letting it go. Thank you C4 for bringing it back. Its wonderful seeing modest people create beautiful things. I still find the crying a little odd though :)

Why has Ellie left far better presenter than Siobhan. It is a real shame. We do not need sombody being stupid/funny. The best supporters, have been Mel Sykes. Shara Cox , Ellie Taylor. So please let us enjoy the show not distracted by silliness.6 /10 With out the stupidity 10/10

Thank you .

This show is just so much fun and enjoyable on all levels - from the joy of seeing creativity take shape from lumps of clay to amazing works of art, to seeing the potters form meaningful connections with each other, to having the pleasure of watching the potters grow in their expertise. What would make this show a perfect 10 would be having Ellie as a permanent host. Such a fun and delightful personality. She will be missed!

There aren't too many tv shows that celebrate craft and skill, but this one definitely does!

Unlike most of competition-based reality tv, this show has no infighting or manufactured drama. Instead what we get is a lovely bunch of people who help and support each other through fascinating creative challenges. What really elevates this contest is the judging - always constructive and positive, with even the negatives delivered with genuine kindness.

The mellow, calm pace allows us to admire the competitors' skillful work. I know next to nothing about pottery, but that doesn't disturb my enjoyment of the show!

The BBC are churning out rubbish after rubbish. Well done C4 for firstly saving the Bake Off and now my favourite The Pottery Throw Down. Mel Sykes is worth the admission fee alone.
