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 .
Thank you .
Overall I love this show! It is very much in the vein of British Baking Show, it has a homey, comforting feel, like a warm sweater on a cold day. As an amateur potter myself, I find all the different techniques and methods fascinating to watch. But I think anyone would enjoy this. The production has gotten better with each season as far as camera work and sound quality.
Wish I could rate each season separately, cause 1 and 2 are great. Season 3 seems to be succumbing to the industry push to have younger, more attractive contestants, rather than focusing on talent. Leonard, one of the oldest contestants in S03 was sent off by episode 4, even though he was clearly better than several of the other contestants. And the challenges of season 3 seem to be getting more outlandish, choosing to focus on comical moments and goofy outtakes, instead of the actual process and craft of the contestants.
Hoping this doesn't end up just another cutesy reality show. Producers should stay true to what people liked in seasons 1 and 2.

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 :)
This show was so good. Please bring it back. Sara Cox was so good presenting and the judges were great too
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
