leaders including Sir Richard Branson, Sir James Dyson and

the story of how Coca-Cola bosses decided to stop producing
the world’s favourite soft drink and replace it with "New
Coke"; how Unilever came to launch Persil Power, a detergent

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. The crash course in retail reality
continues for the hopeful producers and designers as they
try to get to grips with the basics: stock buying,
manufacturing costs and setting up studios. At the household
retailer’s, Elaine Armstrong’s bike-pulling system is a
cause for concern for creative director Theo Williams, while
both Debbie Evershed and her garden-hanging system get a
grilling from Theo Paphitis. Russ Leith’s screwless shelf
meets the might of the health and safety team. Whilst the
pharmacy chain buyers are busy with the future of fertility,
Birgitte Lydum gets a storage headache from a large delivery
of stock with still no retailer to rely on, and as some
department store designers step up a gear as launch date
looms, others appear to be going in reverse

Title: The Apprentice
Episode: 250 Pounds Business Start Up
Description: Lord Sugar meets a fresh batch of candidates as the
business-based reality series returns. The stakes are higher
than ever - instead of a six-figure salary, the candidates
are vying for one life changing opportunity: a 250,000-pound
investment to start their own company, with Lord Sugar as
their business partner. Lord Sugar wastes no time showing
the candidates he means business, using the first task to
challenge his potential partners’ entrepreneurial skills.
Each team is given 250 pounds to invest in fresh fruit and
vegetables, and Lord Sugar makes it clear that he expects a
high return. Packed off to New Covent Garden Market, the
teams race to buy the best produce at the cheapest price and
set to work adding value to their haul by making juices,
fruit salads and soups, and pasta to tempt London’s hungry
workforce. With the pressure on to exploit both the
lucrative breakfast and lunch trade, it is not long before
the tension rises and the blame game begins

Title: Two Greedy Italians
Episode: Poor Man’s Food
Description: Internationally renowned chefs and old friends Antonio
Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return to the Italy they left
more than 40 years ago, to discover what has changed in
Italian culture and how that has affected the way Italians
eat. The pair eat their way around the region of Campania,
looking at how poverty in the area created Italy’s
best-loved cuisine and how ’poor-man’s food’ ended up
making the same region rich. Gennaro takes Antonio to his
home town Minori on the Amalfi coast where he has an
emotional reunion with his many friends and family members
and, after receiving a lesson from his Great Aunt on pasta
making with an umbrella spoke, reminisces on the food of his
childhood. In Naples, they discover how pizza was originally
considered inedible by anyone but the starving until it was
endorsed by a queen. And in Gragnano, a pasta millionaire
explains how this cuisine then took over the world

technology websites to become ’App of the Day’, as well
as attempt to convince a huge crowd of bloggers and software
experts at a major gaming fair to support the application

hours, a dramatic result leads to a fierce boardroom battle,
