Episode 4: Gone to the Dogs

In the aftermath of the Radiohead bombshell, Guy Hands inflicts radical changes at record label EMI. His new regime comes up with more wild ideas to “sweat the assets” including a musical toothbrush and a Rolling Stones talent show. His desperate gambit to make EMI triggers a rebellion from some angry pop stars and one very dirty protest, and he realises he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
