She has great potential to be as big as Levi Roots, PJ the right dragon surely

Can I just check why? I didn't see a major business there.

Chika is fab.

Offers from all over the shop.

Without (as mentioned) any checking of her profit or forecast, or delving into whether she had the supply chain to produce sufficient product behind her. Bizarre.

"Tooker Time" seems intensely dislikeable the more he opens his mouth. All I can think of with Moonpig is that all he knows is to put a catchy jingle on everything and throw £20m at getting the jingle immense airtime, moonnuts-dot-com anybody?

Wait, when we buy houses there is some risk we won't make millions in profit!?! Why is this not news?!

£1m for 5% surely the biggest ask to date in Dragon Den.

I'm involved with these people already. Just did it for the publicity, they didn't really want or expect any dragon money.

I'm out,battery is almost gone......

[Oakey]

I'm not an 'AV Specialist' like these guys, but there's only two cables from my TV; the plug and a hdmi cable. Everything else goes through my AV Receiver.

Just what I was thinking.

Struggling to understand the point of Van Girls?

Not to mention that the wiring will need to be chased into the wall if you want it all neat.... The PS4 HDMI cable, the Sky dish etc all have wires connecting to the tv

[surveyor]

Insane...

What was the risk of chucking the repair business in? If it had gone failed they could just go back to doing it again very quickly I would think.

Blimey! I feel sorry for this couple but can't see how they are investable with their history.

[surveyor]

so many people on this programme don't need a Dragon, they need a mentor and the programmes are out there....

yep, but that doesn't make as good telly as people pouring they hearts out to rich condescending tossers in the hope of staving off failure, in the eyes of TV producers.

[iva cosworth]

I'm surprised the first 2 clowns got their money.

Also surprised they even considered Sarah Willingham as she was not the most suitable Dragon for them IMO,unless

they faked interest in her offer.

You wait till my mate the master crisp maker is on - should be a blast.

[Wacky Racer]

Why do people go on this programme so obviously ill prepared?

Dragon:-

"What gross and net profit did you make last year?"


"Errrr"

Dragon:-

"You do know the difference don't you?"


"Errrr, I'll just go and consult with my partner"........whisper whisper in the corner.....


Two minutes later..........


"Errrr, I think it was £5000"


"So your net profit was £5000?"


"No....That was our sales"


"Right, we are getting somewhere now, so how much was your net profit before tax?"


"What does profit mean?"
