Summary:

The business world can be a dangerous place. Corporate predators are on the prowl and fellow directors may even attempt a boardroom coup to save their own skins. This series examines the story of six key corporate takeover battles, revealing the behind-the-scenes clashes of the business world. Among the cases included are the unhappy marriage of designer label Elizabeth Emanuel, famous for Princess Diana's wedding dress, to Joe Bloggs Jeans; how luxury ice-cream firm Häagen-Dasz tried and failed to restrict new producer Ben & Jerry's who, in turn, found the competition too hot; mutiny at Interflora; and modernising at Trusthouse Forte.
