| Summary |
*Sexual References*In the fourth season of The Gruen Transfer, inimitable host Wil Anderson will once again pick apart the seams of advertising with the extraordinary Russel Howcroft and Todd Sampson, ably supported by our rotating panel of Dan Gregory, Dee Madigan, Jeremy Nicholas, Bridget Taylor, Jane Caro, Rowan Dean and Carolyn Miller.Important topics in this episode include how a fourteen-year-old boy born with one hand inspired a multinational company to sponsor a prosthetic, electronic hand. As well we look at the issue of snack bar confectionary advertised as 'nutritious health food', and the advertising of fast food 'free-range' chicken to impress those who have animal anti-cruelty credentials.Old favourite segments including The Pitch where two agencies compete to sell the unsellable will return, along with another End Of Show Quest. Last year we voted for The Worst Ad Of All Time. This year, we're pushing that idea further, hoping to identify and celebrate... (drum roll)... The Worst Product Of All Time! |
