Great Pottery Throw Down - BBC 2

HeidiHeidi

Think I'm going to defect to Masterchef at 9 seeing as it's the final and all.... see you over there?

HeidiHeidi

There's more clay on Freya's face each week than there is on her table!

HeidiHeidi

Keith sounded like he'd had enough of Coyt and her "I ran out of time/time got away on me excuses".

Clover played a blinder this week - those dolls were super-cute!

stargazer 68

Loved Clovers dolls. Made both of them cry almost!

Red Kev

Well that's the first time this series I've watched it. Been away working every Thursday till 9, so no chance to see it, so I can't judge them. It's one of my favourite programmes on TV, not that I watch a lot.

Yer wan Cait was a bit full on, no harm to see her go.

I loved the dolls that won it. Really beautiful and a nice story behind it.

Anybody know where the past shows can be watched online.

HeidiHeidi

Anyone around this evening?

Toilets :eek: /

HeidiHeidi

Haha, that teapot challenge is the best yet! :D

The display toilets they had are fantastic, must put that on a shortlist before I renovate the house.

A couple of the loos are going to be disastrous due to the size, you could wash the baby in a couple of them!

Loved Johnny Vegas appearing like that, never knew he was a potter.

HeidiHeidi

Jaysus, this is awfully complicated!!

Never mind bath the baby, I'd have a bath meself in Freya's :eek:

She needs a stepladder to work on it!

HeidiHeidi

Haha, that challenge shut them all up!

Much easier to be given rules to keep within. This will be interesting!

Red Kev

Tears from the master !

HeidiHeidi

And Keith's off again

They all went for sets of things, except for Freya?

HeidiHeidi

This last bit is going to be verrrrry interesting!!!

HeidiHeidi

Christ, Ryan's looks like someone had a bad night the night before :eek::eek:

I really hope the firing improves it!

Red Kev

Did Ryan have fabric on the it you sit on ? Jayzus.

stargazer 68

Love ryans turtle

HeidiHeidi

It had to fit actual plumbing bits :eek:

(I'm a bit behind)

HeidiHeidi

Awww Richard's is really lovely!

Red Kev

Love Richard's colours.

Freya's is messy, doesn't work either. Booby trapped as well! :pac::pac::pac:

Red Kev

Ryan's turtle head toilet is ironically named. Looks great.

That was funny. Keith is off again. Crying over Tina the toilet turtle!

HeidiHeidi

Tina the Turtle Toilet was a winner. Inspired.

Except for the interior - euwww!

Red Kev

Pity Freya is out, she's technically very good. I think it was the mechanics of the toilet that were lost on her. Ryan on the other hand had it studied down to a tee as to how the flow dynamics of a toilet works. Not the fairest test for all, you need to be mechanically minded.

HeidiHeidi

So, who's around for the FINAL???

Who'd've thunk Clover would be in the last stages?!

So Richard NEEDS to win it? Ho hum.

Think I'm up for Clover overall.... I always love an underdog!

HeidiHeidi

O/T - is it just me or does Sara Cox have the strangest dress sense? Some of it is brilliant and lovely, tonight's is just.... odd......

I saw she did a 24-hour danceathon for Red Nose Day recently - fair dues to her, and God bless her energy! Have to say I'm a big fan of hers (based on this series alone - never heard her on the radio!)

Red Kev

Clover's beehive lamp looks promising. Richard's sounds disappointing. It'll look like a mobile.

HeidiHeidi

Clover's bees look more like eagles or bats or something!

Have to say I'm loving Ryan's design best at the moment.

HeidiHeidi

Clover's domes look like footballs

Red Kev

Poor old Richard. Cracked.

Ryan looking best right now.

HeidiHeidi

Phwoarrrrrrr!!!

I remember him from Dancing on Ice - my other reality TV guilty pleasure - he was lovely, and hasn't deteriorated any

Red Kev

Even his bloody belly button is perfect.

HeidiHeidi

Richard's is a lopsided mobile..... not for me, thanks.

Not that wild about Clover's either - bit busy for my taste.

Love, love the simplicity of Ryan's, they're very elegant.

Red Kev

I preferred Clover's idea, but Ryan's is better y a good distance.

Aaannndd........

Ryan's won it. No wonder, he

was best today in every discipline.

Great result. Well deserved.

I'm gonna miss this on a Thursday night :mad:

nothing

Thought the winner's piece was very boring tbh.

stargazer 68

I had it recorded so was half an hour behind! Well deserved but I thought the project was quite dull compared to other weeks. Did appreciate the torso bit though:)

HeidiHeidi

OMG it's back!! Starting on the 8th January.

Hurray, this might actually help get me through the rest of winter with my sanity intact! (Along with Dancing On Ice, obv!)

Saw the trailer last night - tears already lol

Max Headroom

Looking forward to this again..but without Sara Cox.....:(

HeidiHeidi

Anyone else tuning in tonight???

I liked Melanie.... I never really warmed to Sara.

I enjoyed last nights episode. Although I do feel that they laboured alot of double meanings...one or two is fine after that it's try hard!

The young Cornwall guy is abit arrogant but that's youth. I don't think the older Cromwell guy will last too long.

Flea was very good. Though she has the potential to be a headmelt, early days could be proven wrong.

I loved Jacob's name stamp! His finished product was lovely I'd buy that design.

I think the person that went deserved to go. They didn't have the best run of it.

Love this show Kitt very lucky to stay.
The set from the girl from northern Ireland was gorgeous very classy

Max Headroom

I'm in shock.....Keith..."12 tubes on a chess board..it's not good enough.."......and Kit goes through...wtf

Princess Calla

Yeah Kit is annoying me, he's sending out an "I'm too good to be here vibe" while not being very good!

Once again loved Jacob's set.

I liked Flea's, I loved the colours she used!

Rosalind's was very good too.

Loved this week as well, girl from northern Ireland was again very good.
But Jacobs chess set wow!
Flea was the one with the sea shells? It looked class maybe not practical though

Princess Calla

Yeah, Northern Ireland girl has gone black and white two weeks in a row now, so hoping next week she does something different.

Yeah Flea was the shells.

I'm hoping for Jacob in the final!

HeidiHeidi

The judges look like they've had more than enough of Kit by now. That was quite the look Keith gave him when he said "you'll see me next week"!!

He is painful , way to cocky

HeidiHeidi

Well he's rightly fked now!!!

At least the others managed to get their pieces into the kiln in one piece, whatever about out of it.....

Princess Calla

I loved rainnas penguins!!

Matt is annoying me.

Was disappointed in Jacob, definitely not his week.

Delighted with who went!
