BD Legends
Could you bag a celebrity for five hundred pounds?
This was the question we posed after a £500 cheque for a pitch team lunch was forfeited.
The monthly BD company meeting is where the company update, share and celebrate. The idea was to invite a celebrity to co-host the meeting under the guise of BD Legends.
After a quick Friday afternoon brainstorm, a shortlist was drawn up – Bowen, Saville, Corbett, Daniels, Walker… All classic BD Legend material yet surely unobtainable…
Our first BD Legend was none other than the king of Catchphrase himself, Mr Roy Walker.
Roy delivered in true style with the original commodore 64 catchphrase machine, a string of wisecracks and some catchphrases of his own – ‘riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghhhhhhhhhht’. It remains one of the best and most surreal meetings I have ever been witness to. Yes, It was good and it was right that BD Legends was born.
The very same week, the BD Coca-Cola team hosted the ‘Best Quiz in the World Ever’ to their clients. A bold claim cemented by the quiz’s host and BD legend no 2 – the late and great Jeremy Beadle MBE. He was indeed a fantastic quizmaster, and above all a real gent.
Like Extras – BD Legends aims to begin with the cult and move to the mega-celebrity. I predict it won’t be long until Tinseltown beckons with the likes to Cruise, Ali and Pacino.
Please post your suggestions for more BD Legends you would love to see and we will see what we can do.
