Sounds like she has no control or understanding on her business and, like Theo has just said is "winging it".

Hilary Devy is on drugs. She is mental for making any offer if you ask me.

That was a BIG surprise after an appalling pitch attempt.

The dragons are totally inconsistent, slag one person off for having a business that can easily be copied but then give the cash to the guys making phone covers which are ten a penny and not at all unique.

Ok the guys presented impressively, but it's really a load of old bks as far as business is concerned....
I agree.

These kind of plastic phone covers are sold on market stalls up and down the country, probably made in China for .20p

Key thing being that the ones sold by young Asian gents on a mobile stall in a shopping centre near you are not branded. These guys had a brand to tie their products together and give them a collective desirability that others on the market don't have. However, I agree there is little to stop anyone else copying them, other than the fact that they are in place with a lot of major retailers first, but I think as a trio they are capable or bigger and better things than phone covers, hence the interest in them from Theo and Peter. Debra, short-sighted as ever, just wanted to flog a few bits of marked-up Chinese tat.

My favourite pitch was Osman Gulal and his confetti cannon, that will "give you salabrity moment", I really want a salabrity moment of my own now.

Deborah Meaden really gets on my nerves. Her modus operandi is to repeat the other dragons criticisms in a nasty and aggressive way.

There's no way I'd deal with her. I think Peter Jones and Hilary Devey are the only two I could work with on a day to day basis. Not that I see myself going on DD any time!
