95% of Britain's Blackcurrants make it

 
     

THE LIQUIDATOR

Our brave Blackcurrant finds itself trapped in a kitchen. Can the Blackcurrant avoid razor sharp knives, blazing gas hobs and boiling hot soup? Will our Blackcurrant make it out alive and join its friends in the green pastures of the Ribena fields or will it meet a sweet end in a Blackcurrant soufflé?

We open on a posh restaurant kitchen.

A lone blackcurrant is looking longingly out through an open window to the sunshine and blue skies beyond.

In the distance it can glimpse the Ribena farm.

     
 

 

We see the blackcurrants still on the bush look back at it.

Suddenly, the sound of banging causes the blackcurrant to bounce up and down.

 

 
     
 

And off its shelf onto a chopping board.

An enormous cleaver plunges into a wooden block, sending the blackcurrant up into the air, perilously between the blades of some hanging knives.

     
 

 

The blackcurrant lands on the rim of a pot of boiling red soup.

 
 
     

 

Where it comes to rest for a second, looking back toward a liquidiser.

Which spring into action and turns the contents to a pulp.

     
         

 

Our blackcurrant falls backwards onto a gas hob.

 
 
     
 

The gas ignites, sending the blackcurrant into the air, then across a work surface where it narrowly misses chopping and mashing implements.

     
 

 

The blackcurrant slowly comes to a rest, before sneezing in some flour and falling off the work surface onto the lid of a metal bin.

 
 
     
 

Which suddenly flaps open and splats the blackcurrant against the white wall.

     
 

 

MVO: NEVER MIND. RIBENA TASTES GREAT BECAUSE 95% OF ALL BRITAIN'S BLACKCURRANTS MAKE IT.

We cut to see a load of blackcurrants dropping into a vat in the Ribena factory.

We see the swirling purple sea swallow them up.
