Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Italic title". Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use British English Get Ahead is a BBC Television programme that ran from 1958 to 1962 and offered a prize of £5,000 (Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".) to a contestant's idea for an entrepreneurial project for a profitable business. It was an early forerunner of programmes such as Dragons' Den on BBC Two.
The programme was sponsored by the News Chronicle[1] as a form of indirect advertising to skirt the Television Act 1954.[2]
The programme was presented by Kenneth Horne and Peter West. A panel of senior business experts judged the merit of the award and included Sir Miles Thomas, who had been chairman of BOAC[3] and the British offshoot of Monsanto, the American chemical company at the time.
