Bollocks episode last night.
"I've laid on a biscuit reasearch factory"
"I've laid on a packagage and graphic design team"
Oh yes and the classic
"I've laid on three meetings with the buyers of the UK biggest retailers"
And that folks is how easy it is!
The good news however is that the BBC's funding issues are soon to be sorted with the sales of the Star biscuit thing.

You seem curiously wedded to the notion that it should be documentary realism. It's an entertainment. Incidentally, they did do a show that was a more realistic take on starting a business featuring the posh twitty one from Dragons Den. It was rubbish and got cancelled.
It took the biscuit.
And it does contain the broad brushstrokes of what you need to do in business, even if it does fudge the details.

No.
And yes of course it is.
But as you are aware Chip, people believe what they see on TV.

The brush used is very wide.

I think they missed a trick with the puns...
...can a new brand hobnob with the best of them...
...which team will be the Rich Tea and which shall everly so gingerly snap...
...who will be the custard cream de la cream...
Nice of mark to hobnob with us

Are you fingering my ideas?
Are you fingering my ideas?
The Snap and Share idea was a bit jammy dodgy.
Crackers. The lot of you!
I came up with loads of ideas;
Adults, alcho' bics such as 'bourbon biscuits' with bourbon.
Sherry trifle, with sherry.
Brandy snaps, with brandy.
The kiddie one always had to be aware of health issues, however, Asda loved it!
I had thought of 'shoooting stars' but also thought of 'X Factor'
My main idea was an exotic 'Full of eastern promise' biccy with pine nuts and pistachio and honey.
My favourite female has gone, but knew she had blown it when not 'In' on the baking, the biscuit HAD to be split evenly, who wants the 'dry bit'?
An idea for working for yourself could come from that program.
They send you flour, oats, sugar and treacle etc
and call it; a Biz Kit
