One of the richest men in Britain, Guy Hands, has ridden over the hill promising to save ailing music company EMI.
Guy has bet the farm on the takeover, in the middle of a global financial crisis, and is taking the biggest gamble of his life. As he takes the keys he is appalled by the corporate waste and extravagance and starts to swing the axe. This triggers an almighty clash between
the money men and the musical old guard. The suits and the creatives dig in for a long war… Featuring interviews with Guy Hands, Neil Tennant, Tony Wadsworth, Caryn Tomlinson, David Kassler
