One of the episodes I won't enjoy as much, pretty much because the product is so stupid.
Who buys a DVD of themselves super imposed in a scene and expects to watch it again? |

There really is no thrill factor. It is a very hollow experience and tacky. Doing the real thing or playing a games console is more exciting and involved. The only thing that would be cool is if the big guns get in on the act. For example, being in an original star wars battle clip or Harry Potter scene that looked realistic like in the real film. These background animations are cheap and tacky @ £15 a dvd. There is no sustainable entertainment value once purchased.

They had this set up in the Trocadero London where people could have a filmed back drop and they would star in a music video by miming to the song of their choice and then get a copy of it on video. It proved to be quite popular but this was over ten years ago where it was a novelty then. Also the MOMI (before it shut) on the South Bank had a blue screen gizmo for the visiting public to mess about with.
Just seemed very naff what they were trying to flog. |

My toddler son would LOVE a dvd of himself in a racing car, I'd definitely buy it!

I see these type of DVD services advertised a lot in the newspapers. It's nothing innovative.

What made me laugh was the indoor skiiing. If I was going to do a ski one set in the alps with amazing views and an exciting course with lots of jumps and obstacles then I may (probably not but still maybe) be interested. However an indoor ski one is just so lame and i wouldn't want to watch it once let alone multiple times. I would rather go to the indoor centre and actually ski there for the money than do the DVD.
The racing one was quality if I had a little kid, I could see myself watching it loads of times. It was a great idea and the only thing that would have stopped me if I had a kid and I was there is that I wouldn't want to give that pillock Stuart any money at all. |

I suspect that they pump special chemicals into the air at Westfield that makes you buy things that you wouldn't normally consider buying anywhere else - at least that's my excuse.

Wasn't that kind of the point of the task though? It's a hard sell, so a bigger challenge to the candidates. Something like muffins or sausages, you know you can move, but a DVD like this is hard as it will have a narrow market. Therefore, it becomes about identifying your audience and providing something 'soft' you know would sell - which is why the skiing idea was so poor

Believe it or not, they were flogging a very similar thing at the Seaworld London Aquarium. You'd sit on an orange bump and they'd turn it into a whale for a photo.
Though the results on that looked much better. |
