They've got an audience of a couple of million people, kidding themselves they care about food while some celebrity pretends to care about food as they plug their latest product. There's no way S.K. can be ahead of the curve. To be so would lose the audience that they have. Beer & Food stuff will be on S.K. <b>after</b> it's gone mainstream. The places this will happen - hence the targets for our efforts, I'd suggest - are necessarily elsewhere.StringersBeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573068197944669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-70378930777049412472011-07-03T12:36:43.690+01:002011-07-03T12:36:43.690+01:00Stringers, in many ways I like your laid-back atti...Stringers, in many ways I like your laid-back attitude, and for you it will probably result in lower blood pressure, well done. However, I could also accuse you of being defeatist.<br /><br />Regarding the relationship between commissioning organisation, production companies and presenters, writers and producers, I think that is a whole new subject.<br /><br />In the meantime, I think that PR is an interesting subject, you don't get noticed and therefore become successful without pissing a few people off.<br /><br />I know that and I suspect Cactus do too. After all, it's a prickly subject.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-66319452997410370252011-07-03T10:44:15.489+01:002011-07-03T10:44:15.489+01:00They can't all be "great people" Dav...They can't <b>all</b> be "great people" Dave. I mean, <i>statistically</i>, some of the people working on the show have to be complete tossers.<br /><br />Also, I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding over responsibilities of the producers of the show. It's not a BBC production is it? We've the good people at Cactus TV to thank for it. And they're not answerable to <b>us, the people</b> - they answer to whoever it is at the Beeb commissions this kind of stuff (and the Ross clan of course). As long as the show delivers the ratings, they've no reason to change it. <br /><br />Essentially, S.K. is just a clip show padded out with celebrity fluff. Which is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from those particular producers.<br /><br />If there is a beer revolution going on, don't expect it to be on TV - until it's done and dusted. This kind of show is never going to be part of the <b>solution</b> and by acting so desperate to be noticed by it, we run the risk of looking just desperate. F*ck 'em, I say. Let them run after us.StringersBeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573068197944669997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-61765309594244688932011-07-03T09:00:19.245+01:002011-07-03T09:00:19.245+01:00Oh, and meant to say, I really don't get the p...Oh, and meant to say, I really don't get the point of spending time on twitter carrying out character assassinations on individuals, smacks of celebrity envy.<br /><br />I am certain that all the people involved with Saturday Kitchen a great people; it's the culture that needs to be changed, not the individuals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-14436647107952514362011-07-03T08:47:16.777+01:002011-07-03T08:47:16.777+01:00Beer Nut,

However, we all have our own motives for being involved and in the heat of the moment, wishing just to fill the hashtag with tweets, it is difficult not to suggest beers one is intimate with.<br /><br />Although I wish to not make this appear, or even be, just a Hardknott publicity stunt, what I want more than anything is for as many people to be involved as possible. I think it'll work best by shear numbers, and if other breweries want to get involved by mentioning their beers I'm all for that, even if it does include Molson Coors too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11319272987951077205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-65996467589083561952011-07-02T23:47:21.649+01:002011-07-02T23:47:21.649+01:00If you want this to work you need to stop namechec...If you want this to work you need to stop namechecking your own beer. No matter how sincerely held your beliefs on the food-matching potential of Queboid, Infra Red etc, every time you mention them, it looks like a shill. The same goes for Kristy's bigging-up of Cobra and the Sharps beers this morning. Any mention of a beer you have a financial interest in weakens your campaign, IMO.<br /><br />The other lesson for today was just how much pointless nasty abuse there is on Twitter. Who gets up on a Saturday morning just to tell The Internet how much they dislike Marcus Brigstocke? Quite a lot of people, it turns out.
