Gerry’s Big Decision
Gerry’s Big Decision made its debut last night on Channel 4. It got rave reviews in the Daily Telegraph TV supplement and was a sort of ‘Dragons Den’ meets the ‘Apprentice’ meets ‘The secret Millionaire’. Business guru Sir Gerry Robinson, ex-head of (amongst others) Granada TV and Coca Cola (Europe) seems to be spending his [...]

Well, forget analysing the management skills of the Apprentice candidates this week and just watch a classic episode full of people falling out and shouting at each other… A variation of the “creative task” with a TV ad, character and cereal box needed in two days. All should appeal to health conscious parents AND kids [...]
