The show is about a genuine mobile phone industry competition which has been running for the past 12 years, known as the iSellMobile competition. The programme follows actual competitors from every major UK retailer as they battle their way from the entry stage, through mystery shops, interviews and challenges, all the way to the big reveal at last year’s Mobile Industry Awards.
Not something that's aimed at my age group, (or people in the windmill industry) but I'm sure will be of enormous interest to many younger people.
I'll have to watch it first before passing a judgement on whether it's bad or not.
What was your verdict then Windy?
I wasn't going to give it the time of day. Most industries have their own competitions, awards and ceremonies but thankfully we are spared from them being televised. Plastics industry awards anyone? Maybe Starpack Industry Awards? Or even the Global Recruiter UK Industry Awards?
It all just makes me think of the 'guest publications' used in HIGNFY.

The programme was informative, explaining what the competition is about and what winning can lead to. It also covered the use of secret shoppers to test the competitors in the sales environment, and other techniques that will be used for judging the eventual winner.
I thought it was an ok piece of youth tv, but I won't be glued to the screen to see who the winner will be.
