You utter, utter ba_tard, BM.
I have just read this thread, read your appraisal and fallen over the edge of the sofa laughing. Amazingly my Vodka & Tonic remained vertical.

Agreed. Avoiding it was harder work than normal this year.

Bastards! For every hour of show there was three hours of 'in depth analysis'. cussing:
It is the BBC's version of Big Brother and nothing more... noooo:
Happy Birthday

Didn't watch it ~ never have watched it. whistle:

Just suspend your disbelief for a moment... ok?
About two months ago I was asked if I wanted to be on it eeek:. Helping out with their last task, apparently. I declined. I did think about it for a couple of minutes but thought that my Banghead Banghead attitude when confronted with the contestants prolly wouldn't go down too well ::)
Did I make the right decision? I'm fairly sure I did rubschin:
Ok, you can reinstall your disbelief now.

Prolly a good decision ~ as I say I've avoided watching it but unless they were offering fantastic money I doubt the tongue biting would have been worth it.

Fantastic money eeek: This is the BBC and I ain't no star. I spoke to a colleague yesterday (the one who asked me initially) and we both know the companies who participated. I didn't watch it but he did and he mentioned there were panning shots showing the Co.s logos. I imagine, having been there before, there was no fee but "there'll be an audience of millions" etc etc.
If the Co.s concerned do well out of it then good for them, but I doubt it. Just flash in the pan stuff. Personally I'm not prepared to jump through their hoops for 5 minutes of "fame".

"We may be poor but at least we're happy and have our self respect" as me old Mum used to say.

The show is televised humiliation – the modern day equivalent of the stocks.
I think the suppliers/designers, etc. have an opportunity to promote their business (and raise their eyebrows at the incompetence of the ‘contestants’) but I’d have to say that I can’t remember the names of any of them.
I reckon you did the right thing – especially if there was no ‘folding’ available…

Well, I did watch it last night and yes, I think my decision was the right one. Of the many things which made me grimace there was one which reminded me of an occasion some years ago.
There's a very good reason why perfumers appear to be 'smelling' the perfume in a poncey and wafty sort of way. I was with some clients trying out possible juices at a perfume house and, much like the apprentices, they were sniffing away holding the taper under their noses. After about forty minutes it was time to take a break and one of the female clients stood up from her chair and promptly fell flat on her back as her legs gave way ;D
There's a lot of neat alcohol in those samples ;)

I thought it was interesting that a bunch of hopeless losers could knock up a fragrance, bottle and advertising campaign in three days… makes you realise what big business and high margin stuff it is…

Three days! Agreed happy001 happy001
The reality is more like 18 months at best. The idea of drawing up a design to scale, accurately for proposed fill, model making and full graphic dressing is a nightmare which I'm so glad I stepped back from. I think the 3 day thing was a sham seeing as I was asked about it 2 months ago, but let's leave that one aside.
What I found particularly telling was that it was the designer who suggested the idea of the 2-part bottle - and they all denied participation in that finally - and that was the Achilles Heel of the project.
It was the CEO of Givenchy who said there's no way that design could come in at the price point of £29.95. Basically the designer screwed it for that team, and the apprentices were too naive to see it.
