The Great Pottery Throw Down: 1: A Salad Set and Sangria Jugs  Season 8, Ep 1

The bucket of doom returns! Twelve potters assemble for the 2025 season. No doubt there will be the usual spot tests, requests for personal stories in ceramics, throwing off the hump, need for Siobhán to talk someone down, hopefully the odd cat in the pieces about the contestants, and of course tears from Keith.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: The problems with the US bail system; John Oliver drinks Bud Light Lime  Season 2, Ep 16

This week: Sepp Blatter steps down as president of FIFA, a week after John Oliver promised to drink Bud Light Lime if he did... but that's for later. First, former FIFA vice president Jack Warner promises to review damaging information about his former employer, and bought time on Trinidad television to air it. Last Week Tonight has also bought five minutes on Trinidad TV, to show their own opinion on the matter -- it will air Tuesday night at 9 PM local time. Chinese hackers are suspected of stealing data on four million US federal employees. In Turkey, a member of the opposition party accuses the Turkish president of buying a golden toilet with taxpayer money. And Now: Last Week Tonight Salutes All The Horses Who Didn't Win The Triple Crown This Week. Main story: the problems with the bail system in state courts, and how they disproportionately harm the poor (sometimes forcing them to plea guilty rather than pay) over the rich, and how reality television has glorified bounty hunters that profit off it. (YouTube 18m) LWT produced their own, less exciting, reality show depicting a saner alternative. And, finally, John Oliver wears a pair of goofy golden Adidas shoes, takes a bit out of everything on McDonalds' Dollar Menu, and, yes, drinks an entire Bug Light Lime. In one go, in fact.
