Siobhán McSweeney hosts a fabulously festive dollop of Christmas clay, as four celebs roll up their sleeves and take on two yuletide challenges set by judges Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller.

The potters take on a birthday tea set challenge, and a surprise second challenge that sees them making handleless milk jugs that must survive the bucket of doom

The 11 remaining potters craft a keepsake box with a disguised lid before facing a surprise blindfold challenge. Who will be potter of the week and who will leave the pottery?

It's Retro Week, and Siobhán McSweeney takes the remaining potters back in time as they make a trio of flying birds and tackle an old-fashioned hot water bottle surprise challenge

It's Raku Week, and the potters hope to impress the judges with their hanging planters. And series two semi-finalist Freya Bramble-Carter sets a challenge with a decorative flourish.

The remaining potters head for the roof to create gargoyles and chimney pots for expert guest judge Gabriel Nichols. Who will be named potter of the week and who'll be cast out of the pottery?

It's an illuminating week, as the potters make an embossed table light, before guest judge, fashion and lifestyle designer Henry Holland, really tests their decadent design skills.

The six remaining potters go wild as they create metallic-effect endangered animal sculptures fired in oil drums, before throwing a tall, thin-necked vase for a place in the quarter-final.

The remaining potters face an altered reality as they radically alter a coffee set and throw high-footed rice bowls. But whose shape-shifting creations will transport them to the semi-final?

It's a bathroom-themed semi-final as the potters make Turkish bath-style sinks and tiles and attempt Moorcroft tube lining. Who will be feeling flush, and will there be waterworks?

The remaining potters create a stacking pyramid vase centerpiece and a daring sgraffito globe. But who will be on top of the world when they're crowned the winner?
