Best TV Tonight: The Great Pottery Throw Down 2024

The Great Pottery Throwdown 2024 starts tonight at 8pm on Channel 4. Stream it live or later.

The battle of the clay returns with a new series! Siobhán McSweeney hosts as judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller welcome 12 of Britain's best home potters to the pottery, all competing to be crowned champion. In their first challenge, the potters are tasked with making a roast dinner set, and in a surprise second challenge, they take on identical side plates that must survive the bucket of doom. Who'll be named potter of the week, and who will be first to leave the pottery?

Speaking to The Guardian previously, Siobhán spoke about the secret of the show’s huge popularity. She said: “The potters and their work. I think viewers are sick of high stakes, shouting and silliness. We want to see nice people make nice things. The potters are proper enthusiasts, pursuing their passion, trying out stuff and learning”.
