I too am rooting for Jodie . I think she has all along been the most consistent
I love her designs and colours

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 9:23pm

Mother of God, what a nightmare of a task :eek:

iamwhoiam · 14-03-2021 9:25pm

I would much prefer an ordinary size tea set . This is too hard to see really

Far too delicate for me! Hubbie just said he would have the cups squashed before he even got it cut!

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 9:26pm

Peter saying he'd never thrown off the hump before.... did they not have a challenge earlier in the series involving that??

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 9:30pm

Fair dues to Peter, managing to make his pieces too small!!!

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 9:41pm

"Blah, blah, BLAH"

I have to say, I've loved Siobhán this series!

iamwhoiam · 14-03-2021 9:45pm

Love Siobhán too , a breath of freshair

I wasn’t keen on the tiny little tea set , a bit boring actually

stargazer 68 · 14-03-2021 9:49pm

Keith really has the gra for Peter!

iamwhoiam · 14-03-2021 9:53pm

Adams colours were a bit wishy washy

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 9:54pm

I got Dancing on Ice wrong - but I really hope that my gut feeling that Jodie has this is right this time!

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 9:55pm

Could Adam not just have turned his decanters upside down?

iamwhoiam · 14-03-2021 9:57pm

Yay !!! Thrilled for her

HeidiHeidi · 14-03-2021 10:06pm

Awww, I'm absolutely delighted that Jodie won!

But the family members being there, but having to hang back and no hugs, has me destroyed

As did the pic of Jodie back in her PPE armour - feck this Covid ****e anyway :mad:

The Throwdown was a bit of a distraction from it for a while at least.

Max Headroom · 15-03-2021 7:32pm

Best potter won..delighted for her,totally deserved it....but for last week she was the most consistent..
Surprised at Adam, he should have learned that if you don't stick to the brief ,you go....his set was lovely but more 2020 than 1920.....
Peter was brilliant for us oldies, every time Keith cried I did too.....:o

Sorry...still don't rate Shoveon.....:p

gmisk · 15-03-2021 10:02pm

Cracking final in a brilliant series.
Adam was so close, but he really made a mess of those decanters they looked amazing but totally impractical. If would however kill for that amazing punchbowl set!
Jodie was a very worthy winner she was so consistently strong her party set was wow, the curved decanter especially.
Peter did so well really grew in the competition.
Still a tad gutted Sal didn't go further in the competition.

As usual Keith is the highlight for me!
Can't beat a Keith cry!

I liked Siobhan as host would have zero issue if she comes back next year, much more personality than Mel Sykes who in fairness was ok as well.
They should also 100 percent keep Rich as a judge.

It just shows you can have two nice kind judges who give constructive criticism in a show like this.

Roll on the next series.

I will be enjoying the sewing bee in between

Just saying that last night, how positive and encouraging they are. Roll on the sewing bee!

Not a huge fan of Katherine Ryan but she has a new series coming, all that glitters. Same premise but with jewellers - apprentices and professionals. Might be worth a look. I like a reality show where a skill is needed!

Max Headroom · 16-03-2021 1:24pm

They always seem to be really nice people these crafters..it must be very relaxing or something.....The Repair shop is another favourite...not mad on Jay but he does sfa anyways...

HeidiHeidi · 01-01-2022 8:47pm

Yay, starting again Sunday 7.45pm!

They tweeted it is on tomorrow cannot wait!

Another new host this time Ellie Taylor.

Yeah, I put my glasses on and found it in the listings!

I like Ellie Taylor, hope she's a good fit. Very put out that Joe Lycett has left the sewing bee though ☹

stargazer 68 · 01-01-2022 9:00pm

They have it scheduled the same time as call the midwife! Will have to put it on +1.

I have only seen her on one or two things she was fun in Ted Lasso.

Sara Pascoe was poor in the Christmas episodes definitely missed Joe :(

Ohh Sophies Choice ? Will have to set the recorder

HeidiHeidi · 02-01-2022 9:12pm

They seem like a very nice bunch this time round.

(I'm not a Call The Midwife fan, so probably watching on my own!)

iamwhoiam · 02-01-2022 9:22pm

I am watching . I have Midwife recorded to watch in bed !

I miss Siobhán she was great craic

Me too!

I thought she'd ditched it after one series, was very upset that both her and Joe had deserted us, but it sounds like she'll be back at some stage during the series.

Those milk bottles looked HARD!

Lots of fiddly bits to go badly wrong in this first firing......

HeidiHeidi · 02-01-2022 9:53pm

Wow, some serious talent here, some of those were amazing!

Camerawork is shite though, a lot of low, flat shots from a distance - not enough showing of the detail of the pieces. It's like on Strictly when they hardly show the dancers' feet - that's the whole point of the thing!!

iamwhoiam · 02-01-2022 9:56pm

Some lovely sets I must say but too many people to get involved yet

L1011 · 02-01-2022 9:58pm

Surprisingly strong first week; I think the childrens theme lets you go a bit rougher (and get away with it) than other things might though.

Now, I'll probably forget to watch the entire rest of the series :pac:
