Pottery Reality Show on BBC

Hi all -

I just saw in Ceramics Review Magazine that the BBC will broadcast a show from the producers of the Great British Bake Off that will take the same concept and apply it to ceramics!!!
I'm not sure that it will be broadcast in the states but if you subscribe to the BBC or if you have a British friend that does, it will be airing this Fall.

Blimey, who would have thought!

:)!
