Yes, actually quite a bit of bullying: also of Sara and a little of Simon, which was not great to see. Mainly from the two Jennifers and Claire, though Claire just seemed more her usual bulldozing / not listening than actively malicious.
I think that Claire was a bit snobby and looked down on the credentials of others. Both Jennifer's were vile individuals. Might go see what they're up to now.

As it's Valentine's Day, AKA the day after National Singles Day / National Single's Day / National Singles' Day, I've been rewatching series 4, the first series I watched and still my favourite. So many great characters, so many great moments and still so many screw-ups (ice cream exclusivity and kosher chickens being the best).

But my inner editor was surprised and delighted that when one team weren't sure where to put the apostrophe in their newly created 'celebration', they actually did some research, calling up The Telegraph editorial desk (lol) and the British Library. You'd never get that level of initiative these days, but also the candidates alluded to spending several hours trying to resolve this question — these days, they'd probably only get 30 minutes to create all the copy and do the design. The producers probably wouldn't let them check with anyone either.

Yet despite not being totally set up to fail, everything inevitably still went Pete Tong for at least one team each episode. Kevin and Jenny's 'celebrate saving the planet by sending a disposable card' being particularly ludicrous, and the way they got on their high horse in the pitch was perfectly cringeworthy.
Where are you watching these earlier series?

How are they filming the adverts without the product? I’m sure that was a massive faux pas a couple of years ago that they forgot to take it with them. This year they’ve not even been given time to create the product in order to feature it!

The milk carton one is for commuters so why on earth have they chosen packaging that would be really uncomfortable to hold

This happened last year as well, you can tell who is going to be fired as there’s an interview with them about the process online from the morning of the episode they are fired from
 
Did she do A Level Media?!

I was trying to explain to my 11 year old why I was chuckling because ‘a-levels are hard’ according to her. I gave her a tit example of saying it’s like you say ‘I have read and understood a book, therefore I can read and understand every book on the planet’.

Other examples are welcome!!! 😂
 
When Andrea said “they know it’s not tap water because it’s in a bottle” it made me think of Only Fools and Horses 😄
