Thrown out: Smiling Nigel, after the bottom fell off his basin - making it fairly unusable. Who will Sara Cox flirt with now her "tangerine dream" has gone? At least Nigel went out in a blaze of TV glory, decorating a tile by printing his name on it repeatedly - in a blind judging task.
Top of the pots: Rockabilly Jim - more on his offerings later, viewers. But it was Major Tom's washbasin which made Judge Keith so totes emosh, he shed a little tear. Keith's tears are the new Hollywood handshake.
Main make: Seven days to make a washbasin - yeGads they were impressive and beautiful. Rockabilly Jim's golden turtle decor was especially fantastic. I thought I loved my sleek geometric plain white washbasin until now - might try painting some gold leaf animals on. Or see what texture I can create with some crusty toothpaste markings.
Spot test: Surface decor on the aforementioned tiles. There was a disappointing lack of sexualised moves in the potters' decorating actions.
Throw down: Wheeling the tallest possible pot - BLINDFOLDED. Cue an enthusiastic Sara Cox, armed with innuendo and a tape measure. Turns out Matthew had the biggest one.
Observations on the nosey home life bit: Major Tom's daughter is simultaneously aghast and thrilled that her brother admitted to not liking some of their dad's cups. Sandra's son appears to sport a feather in the back of his otherwise entirely conventional hairstyle.
Smut-watch: Potting's not just cocks, ladies and gents! Gay vet (as in animals not old-timer) James thinks Jane's made a vagina-y bowl. Jane surmises that he's probably not seen too many examples.
Middle class pottery implement of the week: Art teacher Matthew used his students' pottery stamps to decorate his basin (touching inspiration or child labour?), but Major Tom wins thanks to his porcupine's quill from Zimbabwe.
