About this episode
Guy Hands hires a new CEO to run EMI. Elio Sceti, aka Mr Cillit Bang, and his right hand man Ernesto Schmitt, hatch new plans to milk the crown jewels, EMI’s vast back catalogue, and its biggest cash cow The Beatles. The pair’s brutally commercial tactics bring in some huge financial successes, but many of the EMI old guard revolt against their new corporate methods. There’s also another enemy at the gates - a multi billion dollar debt - and Guy Hands is facing financial armageddon.
