I am looking forward to seeing what Hilary is interested in next week though!

Making a coat out of some spotty puppies, I think.

Post of the year!

even thou see looks like a man, i think she has added a bit of level headedness to the team, and provides good feedback.

Plus she had a major stroke a while ago and managed to recover (no doubt with the best care money can buy, but still, she must have gone through a lot to get to where she is now).

[Laurel Green]

Heads up, just starting.

a fricking shelf, and when you knock over a bottle you kill someone below.

+ sob story, it is turning out like the xfactor

[Laurel Green]

I'd hate to think what could happen if the doors were to be closed before the shelf was lowered.

[VeeFour]

Don't get this at all.

The footage didn't look 'broadcast quality' to me, it looked exactly like what I can knock up with my 200 quid camcorder and MacBook.

Seconded, it looked like poo to me.

[callyman]

Yet again an entire hour for us to hear ONE investment from ONE offer.

In fact, I'm doing a corporate 'away day' video on Wednesday, because I've a reputation in the team for 'being good at that kind of thing' - I'd say many teams have someone who is and most of us have the equipment to knock up a DVD in a few hours.

did no one pick up it took them 3 days to edit the video but 6-8 weeks before the customer received it!

What I picked up on was:

3 days per video. £500 profit per video. Say 21 working days per month = 7 videos = 3.5k maximum per month. The videos are done well because they used to work in TV. Which means scaling up would be tricky. Which then limits profit.

[DSLiverpool]

The video idea won't scale, cameras will break and be stolen, quality will suffer as less skilled editors are used and others will move in on the action.

Hilary should franchise and rebrand as Scary 80's Clown Wedding Videos

I'm out.

[LuS1fer]

Aye and who watches them ever again anyway. It's only the most miserable day of your life, why relive it?

[PKLD]

Special on just now...

[anonymous-user]

that ling cars sounds good but look at the figures.

40m turnover

300-400 profit on each deal

100 deals per month

equal gross circa 500k

d,b advised she makes 40k net

she must have a lot of costs..

Funnily enough I turned over just in time to see that. Same result for me too......

I think that chrome wrap on the Maybach was something to do with Comic Relief if I remember correctly.

Didn't notice the chavvy plate, mind.
