All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star

I must say, I'm surprised at these comments in regards to the host. I signed up for IMBD just to have some positive feedback for her! I thought she was hilarious and her dry humor was refreshing and added a needed element to the show. She pulled off her role perfectly. As a jeweler, I enjoyed the whole show!

This woman is more a comedy writer and less someone you want around when you are trying to do something difficult under a time constraint.

It is now a very familiar format. Start off with 12 people, give them some tasks, rank them, hail the best and say goodbye to the worst. I am still enjoying them regardless of the subject. Jewellery is probably one of the less accessible of the crafts given the treatment. The participants all appear to make their living from making jewellery. The skills required to fulfil the tasks strike me as beyond those of a hobby jeweller. Cooking and sewing we can all have a go. Katherine Ryan is an entertaining host. They seem to have gathered some very talented jewellers to compete the biggest challenge they have is creating their pieces within the time constraints.

Love watching the contestants but the host is just awful. Absolutely cringeworthy. Judges are miscast as well. I hope there is a Season 2 but with the three cast members replaced.

I binged season 1 today, and found myself utterly fascinated by the competitors' talent and creativity. The judges are judgy, which is expected. That host, though, went from embarrassingly unprepared (she squealed about the judge using what she called a "monacle" to examine a piece, when he was using a jewelers loupe--a standard piece of equipment) to gratingly annoying as she incessantly attempted (and failed) to be clever and amusing. Though I'm glad that another season has been ordered, I'm less than enthusiastic about her returning as host.
