The Great Pottery Throw Down

Ten home potters compete to become the new champion of British pottery. They must test their technical prowess in front of a special guest judge, ceramic designer Emma Bridgewater.

In the throw down challenge this week, king of the wheel Keith demonstrates how to build a double-walled pot.

It's week three and the eight remaining potters must master the art of Japanese-style ceramics.

It is garden week, and the seven remaining potters must make stunning ceramics for the great outdoors.

In week five, the six remaining potters try one of the most exhilarating techniques in ceramics - pit firing.

In the quarter-final, the potters have ten minutes to throw the widest bowl they can while blindfolded.

Comedian Johnny Vegas, a former pupil of Kate Malone, demonstrates how to throw a teapot in just one minute.

In the final, the potters make a pair of identical, fully functioning light features out of porcelain.
