Considering..
The social media backlash.
The Reputational damage to Love.
The Reputational damage to C4.
Upsetting 3/4 of the talent.
Paying too much.
I think Independent producers will think things over before doing something as crass as this again for a long long time.
In fact I can see " corporate training videos" using this situation for years to come on how not to do business, how to destroy assets quickly, damage your company, and upset your key personnel by not engaging them in discussing things.
Corporate training will show Olympic Games and Team GB as a postitive working together as a team, and Love Productions, on how to annoy 15 million people, and destroy a brand.
