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!

Love the premise and the contestants try their best to make beautiful jewelry.

The host, however, is completely awful - it's apparent she does not have any knowledge of jewelry making and her commentary is cringeworthy. Based on contestants' reactions to her presence and the judges barely concealed eyerolls, it's clear she's not embraced by anyone on the show either.

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.

On day 2 the host and experts wear the same clothes, as do the contestants.

So, do we think it is another day ?

No.

Production lacks quality.

This show demonstrates how not to produce a program.

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.
