Dene, a typical three-star British holiday hotel. Checking
in to the Damson Dene in this second episode are Tom and
Susanna, who arrive a couple of weeks before their wedding
to make sure everything is in place. Susanna is five and a
half months pregnant and Tom’s grandmother has been very
ill so there is no time to lose. Even though he lives alone
in a caravan with his dog, Fly, Hotel Manager Wayne is a bit
of a romantic. So he loves to put on the perfect wedding in
one of the three civil ceremony rooms: the Princess Suite,
The Heron View and the Lounge. The hotel’s owner,
Jonathan, depends on weddings to keep the hotel afloat, so
both insist on giving the bride and groom their dream day

Title: Britain’s Next Big Thing
Description: Series in which the buying teams of three high street giants
ask members of the public to supply them with the next
bestselling product. This time it’s the turn of a home
retail giant to host their open day. Watching from the
sidelines is Theo Paphitis, who knows first hand how
important these pitches are to both buyers and wannabe
suppliers. Home retail is a crowded market so the store’s
head of range and creative director will be ruthless in
their decision making. From new graduates such as Laura
Wellington who lights up the room with her hula lamp and
Catherine Gray with her bold vases to garden-shed inventors
like Russell Leith who has been working on his
self-supporting stand the Ledge for 15 years and single mum
Debbie Evershed and her innovative ’frog bracket’ - the
stakes are high, only a handful will be taken on by the high
street giant
