Neil Morrissey's Risky Business

Part 1 of 3


Tuesday, 28th October 2008


10:00pm to 11:05pm (48 mins)


Channel 4

Neil Morrissey's Risky Business kickes off with the actor and his chum Richard Fox visiting the Czech Republic to take

a bath in beer, a sequence that had absolutely nothing to do with research for their new enterprise and everything to do

with telly. It's one of those kind of shows where the cameras are notionally tagging along to see how an entrepreneurial

adventure turns out but where you know full well that the adventure would never have got off the ground in the first

place if it hadn't come in a banded pack with a Channel 4 commission.

Morrissey and his mate plan to buy a pub, brew their own beer and take it to market; and launching this business at a

time when four pubs a day are closing. They have, we're told, just six months to pull off this task before Morrissey has

to take on a big acting job, which rather glosses over the fact that this is an acting job as well.

It's amiable enough, and I'm sure that they, or Channel 4, can afford to lose the money. They certainly weren't

approaching the matter with any over-hysterical professionalism, adopting their beer recipe from the very first batch of

home brew they made and then getting so drunk while carrying out consumer testing that they temporarily mislaid the only

keg they have.

They occasionally took advice from professionals, such as Paul Theakston of the hallowed Black Sheep Brewery, but only

in order to bat it aside. "It's basically hot gas compressed by your lungs through your vocal cords," was

Morrissey's scornful response to one friendly warning about the scale of their challenge. He then demonstrated his

ability to drink a pint while standing on his head, a skill that mysteriously doesn't feature on the Harvard Business

School curriculum.=== File Information ===
