Is there a thread on this already? If there is, I can't find it!

Anyone else watching? I got hopelessly addicted last time, hope this series is as good.

I did an evening pottery course a while back - it was the best fun, but so HARD!!! I still have a couple of pieces that I made, they're the pottery equivalent of a child only a mother could love

stargazer 68 · 09-02-2017 10:37pm

Love this programme! My son is very disappointed that Keith didn't cry this week though. That's the bit we wait for lol

HeidiHeidi · 10-02-2017 12:05am

Oh hurray! Thought I was all alone watching it

One of the contestants was almost blubbing, does that not count?!

Interesting set of contestants this time round, haven't got the hang of the names yet, but there''s a few good ones there. Cáit is (probably on purpose) VERY annoying!

stargazer 68 · 10-02-2017 12:18am

No the contestant crying doesn't count. It has to be Keith lol. Loving Ryan, the model. His stuff is really good. Yeah cait, or coyt as they say is a bit odd.

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:22pm

This quantity vs quality vs speed round is great fun!

I'd have a heart attack if I was in it.

stargazer 68 · 16-02-2017 9:23pm

Won't get my hands rice in some of those bowls! I love seeing the stuff when it's painted and fired. Looks so different

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:31pm

I'm always mildly horrified by yer man dandering around the cobbled yard and up and down stairs with enormous trays of the contestants' precious pottery.

Wonder has he/they (is it the same man each series? can't remember!) ever dropped one? :eek:

stargazer 68 · 16-02-2017 9:32pm

I'm always waiting for him to fall!

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:33pm

Cait has left almost no lantern!

Will it stand up long enough to be judged???

We can but hope.

Find her intensely annoying tbh.

They can't get rid of Ryan :eek:

Elaine's two bottles are remarkably similar!

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:44pm

This glazing bit always wrecked my head ... painting the thing black but expecting it to come out red, or copper for it to come out white was a total head-melter!

Wonder will Cait blow the kiln up with her copper wire??!!!

Oh I hope so. Keith will definitely cry lol

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:46pm

Haha - cooking broccoli is a brilliant analogy!

stargazer 68 · 16-02-2017 9:47pm

Her sisters dreadlocks ðŸ˜²ðŸ˜²ðŸ˜² wtf

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:48pm

Her sister's dreadlocks :eek::eek::eek:

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:50pm

Aw jesus.... beard hair.

They're all at it - pony hair now.

FFS!

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:54pm

Oooh, Elaine's set is verrrrry nice!

stargazer 68 · 16-02-2017 9:55pm

Oh we almost had a cry there!
Beardy could be on his way
And there we go with the tears!!

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:55pm

Oh gawd.... Cait's not going anywhere, is she....

Nam almost got Keith going there

HeidiHeidi · 16-02-2017 9:57pm

Don't get the love for Ryan's set tbh.... it's just b&w stripes

stargazer 68 · 16-02-2017 9:59pm

This is the first evening I've had in all week - don't deny me it!!!

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:17pm

Anyone around this evening?

Cáit blubbing over her bloody dog

(Now I'm as big a sentimentalist as the next sap, and howled for days when my beloved dog got killed - but this is the telly ffs! )

Oooh, those pots look tricky - this'll be interesting!

stargazer 68 · 23-02-2017 9:21pm

Looking forward to seeing the water features.
Has to be cait this week. Have said that every week!

If only so they'll stop annoying me by saying Coyt :mad:

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:32pm

Jaysus, that was quite the carnage session :eek:

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:34pm

Awww, how sweet was that of Nam!

(Hope he doesn't break one of his surviving ones now!!!)

Oh I know. He would be kicking himself!

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:41pm

Christ - one hour for a dozen fiddly roses :eek:

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:44pm

Oooh, guest judge is a bit snarky :eek:

I've gone right off him!

Coyt at the top!!

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:45pm

Ah here.... Coyt top of the spot test!

She's gonna survive again, isn't she. It's going to be the big older fella.....

HeidiHeidi · 23-02-2017 9:47pm

There's one very phallic-looking fountain there :eek::eek::eek:

stargazer 68 · 23-02-2017 9:50pm

Who is going to make Keith cry???

Coyt's dead dog!

That red water/blood gave me the heebie-jeebies!!! Has to be him to go.

Although Elaine fairly fecked that one up......

And there she goes! She has been a bit dodgy though this week

I thought her previous skills would have snuck her through somehow.

She was easily my favourite.

Coyt at least had the grace to look a little bit shocked and guilty!

stargazer 68 · 23-02-2017 10:01pm

Next week looks fun.
<--- tv3

HeidiHeidi · 02-03-2017 9:25pm

Well, now - if Cáit isn't gone by the end of this, I'll eat my hat!

Mind you, Ryan isn't doing himself any favours either!!

HeidiHeidi · 02-03-2017 9:41pm

Wow, Kate's stuff in that exhibition looked amazing!

HeidiHeidi · 02-03-2017 9:43pm

Christ, this pit firing is some palaver :eek:

stargazer 68 · 02-03-2017 10:05pm

Way behind tonight. Only judging the jugs at the minute

I'd love to have seen ANY of those jugs trying to hold water!!!

stargazer 68 · 02-03-2017 10:21pm

The pots from the pits all look the same colours!

Yeah, dunno if they just didn't translate through the telly - wouldn't have been my thing, that's for sure.

An awful lot of work for a very meh result!

stargazer 68 · 02-03-2017 10:23pm

My son is in knots here! Keith is crying at the weight, he's crying at the weight of a feckin pot

HeidiHeidi · 09-03-2017 9:37pm

O/T - but what on EARTH is Kate wearing this week :eek:

Only starting to watch now - the Russian dolls sound fiendishly difficult!!
