A dish best served cold

If you go back in these blogs a fair way, you'll find I was less than impressed with the way SKY's Big Idea competition was handled.

I took part in the online Forum for a while with similarly unhappy contestants, but when it got a bit nasty (either a resident psycho or, more likely, production house minion, PR or lawyer) decided to move to more fruitful areas.

Today the OFCOM paperwork arrived. I'm going to enjoy this. We may even yet profit.

Especially when I read this the same day: ITV Play rapped over 'unfair' quiz

It's a bit broad, but 'rule 2.11 of the broadcasting code, which states that "competitions should be conducted fairly".' And if they can be nabbed on this, then I'd say we're looking even better.
