Love this programme. Love pottery. I am learning to throw so I know how difficult it is. Brave people exposing their highs and lows on national television. Art itself, creativity, pottery, creating, making, crafting, writing - all the expressive aesthetics really - are therapeutic. This week's programme so emotive. Emotion such an important part of this week's experience. Applaud the potters. Applaud the judges. Applaud the programme. And Siobhan brings a touch of humour. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Still watching this programme. Tonight kind of a mix of fact and fiction. Drama, acting, storyline. Interspersed with real NHS staff talking about why they do the job. Reflecting the reality of it all. Celebrating 75 years of the NHS. All these brave people who work to take care of us. Facing so much trauma and anguish on a daily basis and then as well elation and success when things go well. So much admiration for them. Doing the most important job in the world. Saving lives. 75 more years of the NHS to come. Governments, do your best to support and resource this invaluable service. July 2023 This is such a great programme. Have been following it for years. Raises all of the challenges the NHS has to face. Makes me realise how challenging it is to provide universal care for everyone within a finite budget. Also the emotional effect on NHS staff dealing with trauma. The daily stress of delivering care in very difficult and traumatic situations. Great acting. Great characters. And more recently David, the nurse, one of the characters whose son was involved in terrorist attacks recently, amazing acting. So believable. All behind the cameras and all in front of the cameras......A-MAZ-ING!! 👏👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Really enjoy this programme. Full of fun, laughter and camaraderie. Matt Tebbutt is great as the host. Great buzz in the programme which goes out live. He manages it so well, muti-tasking across cooking live, chatting with guests and showcasing their current projects, achievements, books and restaurants. No mean feat. He keeps it all light- hearted, fun and lively whilst coming across as an all round nice guy, humble too with a real sense of humour. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏

Sad to say for us, that today was Andrew Marr's last show. I have found his programme to be on point; topical; with rigorous and robust questioning; extremely informative. Shrewd and aware, with the ability to cut through political rhetoric and get to the heart of the issues at hand, Andrew Marr has obviously enjoyed the cut and thrust of political challenge and debate. Sad to see him go but wish him all the best in his retiral. So watched Andrew Marr's show again today 17/05/20. As usual, robust questioning, calling politicians to account especially in relation to their management of the COVID 19 situation. Well, if management is an accurate term to be used in relation to this. A Exposing that the Government has re-organised the policy group on Covid 19 to a smaller core group - of only men! Really? Surely this cannot be true in this day and age and relative to the fact that some of the best successes in really managing this COVID situation internationally, are down to female leaders? So what does this expose? Blatant misogyny at the heart of Government? My only criticism of this morning's show is giving Michael Gove so much talking time...giving unsubstantiated assurances; spouting disingenuous party line rhetoric; and talking as if he knows what happens in schools - when it was so obvious that he doesn't. But then again, maybe not a criticism - a pat on the back Andrew. Because what Michael Gove did was expose himself as not knowing enough about the logistics of how schools work. How teachers teach. How Headteachers lead and manage their schools. And worst of all obviously not consulting with, or listening to, the people who actually know. Emotionally intelligent leadership? Nowhere to be seen! So thank you Andrew for the rigorous questioning which led to this being exposed. Great show this morning....informative, interesting, measured, balanced and re-assuring. Lots to learn from the statistics, strategies and outcomes globally - for now and in the future. Germany especially was prepared and I suspect it was not down to luck. Important that media generally continue to get the right balance and do not inadvertantly or otherwise, raise expectations of the lockdown easing. This cannot happen until the conditions are right.

Assisted dying..... It's not up to religious leaders to make these decisions. If these decisions are to be made, then it is up to the person who is suffering; their family members; and health staff able to offer clinical advice. ike BBC breakfast but turned over this morning when Charlie State was interviewing the person about Social Care. Charlie was trying to talk about reality. The person, not sure of her name, was more intent on winning an argument than dealing with the reality of the social care challenges we face. 🤬😡🤬😡

Binge watched this series. Started watching first episode and, like the best kind of book, could not put it down. Actress who played Faith......sooooo talented. Totally believed in her. Lived it with her. Plot...riveting! Scenery....stunning. Music and singing from Amy Wadge....new discovery for me. Emotive. Moving. Beautiful singing/voice. BBC Drama at its very best! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend.
