If only Emma Grede could replace Steven Bartlett. I can’t stand him he really grated on me.

Think Steven is excellent, opinions differ

You’re seeing a carefully curated Bartlett he’s a full scale tt in reality.

There should be an index on how many times SB mentions he has a girlfriend on Dragons den - is it 5-10, 10-20, or 21+ per episode?

Look at me, I've got a girlfriend, a proper girlfriend reading a bestseller. I go out and have croissants. I'm just a normal, functioning member of the human race, and there's no way anyone can prove otherwise

Woke up this morning and thought I'd order some of that granola stuff (took me a few googles to remember the name though!). It's a few quid so hardly going to change the world, but a pop-up told me to expect a considerable delay after the broadcast. I thought she was great. I'm also on the weight-loss thread, so don't tell anyone over there

The guy with the thermostat seemed nice, the device looks dated though.The kids' makeup I can't remember if she got investment or not, and there was probably another pitch or two I can't remember at all. I still think it's easy TV, but nothing very exciting these days.

The fact that people are unable to grasp a thermostat says more about the people involved than the tool. As I recall we covered it in GCSE physics and looking it up it's 200 years old!

More to do with people not caring about burning money if it's not their money they are burning.

His thermostat seemed way overpriced for what it was. £160-£220 for what's basically a timed off switch?

I thought he was gay... the amount he mentions his 'girlfriend' just makes me more suspicious

IMO if you need to explain how the thermostat works then it's way too complicated! Thought the design behind it was really poorly thought out and my Nest thermostat can already do most of what his did and is similar price.

Something about the thermostat pitch that surprised me, was nobody seemed the question the price to produce the product.

The cost, x 10 times that of a conventional product, but basically just a timer. Surely Touker can use one of his contacts to significantly reduce costs.

Possibly the most useless invention ever?

Jesus who would want that

Has she factored in the increased methane production into her green credentials?

[mooseracer]

No idea, but they're nice


Edit - bit of a whoosh (too many beans?) parrot due for me

She’s padding this out a bit.

You taking the piss?

[Jordie Barretts sock]

This series has been extremely poor. Piss poor perhaps?

It's all gone a bit meh.

Bit of a leaky pitch.

Flinty stole the show for me.
