The Great Pottery Throw Down

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.

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 :)

Love this show but agree with other reviewer, please go on talent, not pretty people, we watch it for the pottery. Find Sara Cox very patronising, love the experts, especially Keith

A wholesome show with beautiful art, interesting contestants and great hosts. I love pottery and this really puts it on display in a great way. Also, please keep Ellie! She adds the right amount and style of humor the show needs.
