About this episode
Is Mr Beast’s latest project a massive fail? How do you earn £100m from children's books? And can you buy prestigious awards? (hypothetically speaking… ) Mr Beast have teamed up with James Patterson to release a survival thriller, and one real-life reader could win $1m - but the charts have been unforgiving... has the shine finally rubbed off Mr Beast? Beloved children's writer Julia Donaldson releases Gruffalo Granny, but what is the secret behind her £100m success story? Nicola Peltz has been awarded a ‘Rising Star’ award at the Venice Film Festival, at the age of 31. Richard and Marina explore the world of expensive award campaigns.
