Trivia
The Colour Room's Wilkinson's Pottery filming locations are Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton and Middleport Pottery in Burslem.

Goofs
Clarice shows Colley Shorter a piece that she has made from scraps of clay pilfered from the factory. Colley taps it and it gives a dull ring. Unfired clay would not sound like that.

Crazy credits
The end credits are accompanied by examples of Clarice Cliff's designs, as well as audio recordings from the "Bizarre Girls" themselves, reminiscing about their work life.

Feels like half a story

Would have liked to see more about Clarice's family life and friendships amongst the women who worked in the potteries. Apparently she came from a big family but we only saw her mother and sister. There was a very half hearted attempt to suggest romance between Cliff and Colley Storer. In fact they married. It was interesting to see how Cliff was inspired by colours and shapes and the processes behind producing fine china. The demographics for the potteries in the 1920s was not represented correctly there were too many ethnic minorities. A historical docudrama should try and reflect the period not modern day demographics.
