petition to revive this show

Miquita starts to cry because she feels horrible about doing bad, in constrast with Ann...

Ann was talking about how to inn keeper cheated people, yet she cheated everyone with the oat cakes

The heartbreaking thing is that this still the reality of millions of people around the world. And yes for someone like Ann, it looks so easy and glamorous to have revolutions and riots, but for the majority of people they don’t have that luxury, because they have to feed their families.

To bad there is only one more episode. This has been an enjoyable series.

Out of everyone, I love Allister the most, when he started getting emotional seeing all the pottery stacked up, I really felt that!

Around 99% of comment can be simplified to "we hate Ann, she ruin the show".

Ngl I sorted them into family roles. Zoe and Alistair are the matriarch and patriarch. Colin is like an uncle who lives with them. Tyger and Miquita are the the children. And Ann is their annoying grandmother who has been around for too long. They should totally do this again but in a different era like medieval times.

I like how Anne peddled off half assed cakes she cooked to her team members and other people to turn around and buy herself the better cooked ones. So much for all those morals she keeps boasting about 😮

I hope this series sees a revival, considering these episodes originally aired several years ago. It's very interesting.

The whole idea of Ann Widdecombe being for worker's rights is laughable. She would absolutely have been on the side of the moneyed classes back then.

I find it so hard to believe that Ann would think that the bosses would be at a loss without their labor force. There's hundreds, THOUSANDS of people that are desperate to work, and the boss man can find someone willing to work and not care about their worker's rights in a second.

Aw she cried because her clay caused someone else not to get paid.

Is Anne really complaining about the sexism of assuming women can paint? First of all, you're coloring basically, not even designing the pattern, and second, I think that would be the least of your worries when it comes to sexism back then. I didn't hear her speak out in outrage about being paid 2/3 of a man's salary.

At 31:18. I think Alistair got emotional because he genuinely liked getting his cups right in the first half of the day. He was getting the hang of it, he was being precise, he was coming to really enjoy the work of producing beautiful cups. So he understood very quickly the craftsmanship and skill required to make such cups. Then when he sees thousands of cups stacked up like that in these vessels, it overwhelmed him. That is blood, sweat and tears of real craft in that kiln. And that just really bowled him over. I don't think he would've had the same reaction if he hadn't done that work earlier in the day.

For the first time in her life, Ann Widdecombe supports the rights of workers and it's only because she feels sorry for herself and has the luxury of going back to her posh life shortly after. I have total respect for the other participants though.

Ann is what being privileged looks like.

Miquita starts crying because she thinks she let everyone down but Ann is like a huge mess

Ann simply isn't a 'worker'. She's spent a lifetime doing political work (sitting and talking) and being in charge. It's no wonder she struggles - on purpose or not - with this kind of labor throughout the entire show.
