A Matter of Loaf and Death - The Best Business Studies Material at Christmas

Jim Riley

22nd December 2008

One of the highlights of Christmas will surely be the new 30 minute production from Wallace & Gromit, and it promises to be packed full with business studies material…

...well maybe.

In this latest adventure, W&G are running their own small bakery, suitably named “Top Bun” (AQA Unit 1). Almost certain we’ll see them using batch production (OCR Unit 1) and a host of suitably pun-full marketing messages such as “Make Loaf Not War”. I’m also expecting to see some great examples of technology in action (AQA Unit 2) given Wallace’s reputation for engineering innovation. Distribution channels? I hear W&G’s method is Dough to Door Delivery. Should be a classic. BBC1 8.30 p.m. on Christmas Day.

To get you in the mood, why not try the Top Bun interactive game?
