potterythrowdown on ch4

Melanie is OK. I enjoy the Pottery Throwdown very much but the one I like best is the Sewing Bee. Filming of Series 6 has finished and it should be with us soon.

Both programmes have intelligent and sensitive experts and there's no sign of aggressiveness amongst the contestants. I like that they are supportive of each other.

Long may they both last.

While watching the last throwdown and listening to her inane chatter while they were working so hard against the clock,I was ready to tell her to go do one, on the potters' behalf. Annoying creature

I think they pause because the camera has to show the face of each potter? It happens on most knock out style programmes. Drives me nuts though.

Love it- apart from the pause that
Luckygirl mentioned. Melanie seems ok to me.

This is a fascinating programme and I admire the skill of the potters. I don't have a problem with Melanie.

Melanie is good in that role.

I find the programme riveting, but am deeply irritated by "The one who will be leaving this week is....................(go and make a cup of tea) ........................ Fred" Just spit it out for goodness' sake!

Prolonging that agony of the announcement sits ill with the generally co-operative, kind and encouraging nature of the rest of the programme.

I love this programme. Think it's far better than any of the baking programmes. The creativity exhibited is amazing and I think Melanie Sykes is OK.

I really enjoy this programme and love seeing the pottery, at the end.

I am not a particular fan of Melanie Sykes, but she is pleasant and seems to genuinely care for the potters. Thus, she doesn’t spoil it for me.

I was so pleased when they brought back this programme. I would like to do pottery ,as I used to go to evening classes....centuries ago.. Never did conquer the wheel.

Can't see anything wrong with M S she does a good job and moves things along.

I know what you mean but think she's better than some.

I cannot believe how interesting I find both this programme and the Great British Sewing Bee, when I neither sew nor have I even contemplated doing any pottery.

I actually really like Melanie Sykes' presenting style and think she gets 'in the way' as little as possible.

I adore this programme. But I do get irritated with the introduction, where Melanie has to do a silly turn linking the theme. Tonight it was a harp. Why? A piece of equipment was given to the contestants called a harp. ?

We really enjoy the programme and think Melanie is generally good even when she laughed uncontrollably the week they had the nude models!

Love the programme and all the presenters. Think Melanie is doing a slightly better job than Sarah Cox.

Keith is emotional and loves his craft. It's great to see someone affected by another's skill and creativity.

Very brave of anyone entering competitions where there is a time limit.

I don’t mind her ( love the programme! Just watched it, those amazing tiles) but, I do notice something different about her around the jaw/mouth/ teeth.It could just be a drastic loss of weight.She does the job well, but I do find myself saying ‘stop talking to them! They only have ten mins left’ etc.?

I don't mind her and love the programme.
I don't really get why the chap cries though!

I really enjoy this series and don't have a problem with her.

She’s alright for me I love the programme

I enjoy it, she’s fine as far as I’m concerned.

I think she is fine.
