The Potters' Throw Down Candidates Are Now Making Toilets...?

[DTCwordfan]

what sort of shyyte are the BBC coming up with?

This surely isn't serious....or have they landed a TV flush as to success?

[Mamyalynne]

What part don't you get?

[emmie]

Your Answer...waste of licence fee.

[Jomlett]

Johhny Vegas...and a teapot!

[DTCwordfan]

I tend to agree, emmie - this ain't serious ceramics. It's now showbiz especially with this Johnny Bozo character who has come on.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm quite surprised at how much I've enjoyed this series - I did pottery and loved it but couldn't have done half what they have managed.

[DTCwordfan]

yes, I agree, mamya, it's my great bete noire as I would have loved to done more but always stymied.....however, this is ultra-silly for a semi final.

[DTCwordfan]

I have loved painting ceramics - that is a fascinating area as the colours aren't natural in the raw and then to see the final results coming out of the oven.....

[DTCwordfan]

now the free masterpiece is a great test, silliness over? Creativity time?

I'd never seen this before tonight. I've just seen the bit where they were making 5 teapots in 5 minutes, and of course they turned out quite terrible. Then the loo. Why?
I agree it's a load of rubbish, trying to follow on from programmes about people making cakes, painting, sewing, weaving or whatever. What's the next idea going to be?

[Tuvok]

They made sinks last year.

Since when have toilets been made by hand, by potters.They have been moulded in various ways for over a hundred years now.Just a waste of time,money and viewers patience.They seem to have run out of ideas.

[Samjenko]

I'm an avid viewer. I want to be privy to the potters' art.

[Samjenko]

I'm hoping to get ideas to make a mint on.

[malagabob]

Possibly it was a test to see if they can produce a working piece.
If you don't know how a toilet works,then it's a test of ingenuity. Ceramics aren't solely cups and saucers.

[Cloverjo]

But they're trying to be potters, not plumbers.
