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!

Why is a Canadian who knows nothing about jewelry hosting a British competition for jewelers?

Her voice is annoying and she lacks poise.

The host should have demeanor of someone who'd shopped at Tiffany's.

The show needs Someone like Padma Lakshmi.

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.

In most shows where artist compete with skill the viewer is given the opportunity to learn about about the process. Many times viewers are able to understand why the art price is higher than commercial stores by the intense craftsmanship that goes into it. This host is distracting and jokes which makes light of the art form or the process of conception. Her narration is annoying at best and not truly educational of the history of silversmithing or jewelry making. This show could have truly been encouraging for the next generation of craftsmen but the host makes it seem trivial and not artistic!

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.
