Did you say Big Breakfast?
Article Abstract:
Some observers believe that Michael Jackson, the new chief executive of Channel 4, may decide to drop 'The Big Breakfast.' This programme has been losing viewers since presenters Gaby Roslin and Chris Evans left, and seems to have lost a lot of its appeal. However, the programme's 11 million pounds sterling rolling contract with a 12-month notice period has not been cancelled, which is a great source of relief for Planet 24, the creator of the programme. Furthermore, ratings have started to revive since presenter Duncan Grey arrived in Jan 1997.

She's the boss. So what?
Article Abstract:
There has been a 60% rise in the number of female managers in the UK since 1994, according to research undertaken by the Institute of Management. In some cases, female managers can be difficult to work with, especially as they tend to want to be in control. They have often had to struggle hard to obtain promotion, and this has given them high expectations of their colleagues too. There are mixed views among secretaries about whether it is preferable to work for a man or a woman.
