The Great Pottery Throwdown 2026

[AlicePottery]

Starting in 15 minutes, anyone else watching?

What?! That’s annoyingly late.

Yes! I've been out walking all day (alarm went off at 6.30am) and kept thinking I'd just have time to make dinner before the programme. Now I'll have eaten and will be struggling to stay awake!

Annoying. We're going to leave it until tomorrow.

I'll be watching when it's on rerun (Saturday I think) as it's too late for me (an hour ahead here) and I don't have catch-up. No doubt I'll get spoilers on FB and Instagram but I don't mind too much. I do resent Crufts though 😂

Here we go!

unlurking from this thread to admire Siobhan’s dress.

Great challenge (but yes, irritatingly late to air).

Quite a challenge - hand building, slabs, sprigs, throwing, decorating, moving parts.

Siobhan always manages to look fabulous.

It is the final!

Annoyingly, I like all three of them so I’ve got no one to cheer on…

Delurking to agree with pp - I am cheering all 3 on, all are fantastic. If only there could be three winners. I am so sad it's the final though - this programme is the antidote to absolutely everything.

Fynn is really good. I agree they are all lovely but I usually like Fynn’s work best. But any of them could win & I wouldn’t mind.

I like that everyone usually produces something lovely & they are no actual failures.

Beautiful makes and tears all round.

Fynns is too dark.

I’m being literal again but Fynn’s doesn’t meet the brief… it is lovely though

Elham's theatre is stunning.

Fynn's is ugly.

Angharad's is very good too.

For once Fynn’s isn’t my favourite- too brown

Love Angharad’s scenery but Elhan’s scene and story

I like Elhams the best. But Fynn is the better potter.

Gosh it's going to be a hard call. Finns is perhaps difficult to love for me but judges might like the monochromatic style more. Glad all happy with their makes and no disasters.

All three are such interesting people - they all seem to have found pottery to boost self confidence.

I would love Elham to win.

I think that sums up my feelings too

Finn for the win?

Meh. Would have preferred either of the other two to win

Right result- he is the best potter
