Anyone watch it on c4 last night thought it was quite good compared to some of the normal trash they serve up..
Quite funny to watch some of the chosen ones to see how really badly prepared they where for running a business. Like the two girls who where single mothers who where prepared to do anything to make it work and then one couldnt even get child care. Then the other couple with the air bed who said they had to have a salary of 20k even though the business wasnt making anything.
Think it maybe quite a good series..

Yes that daft moo who wanted a salary looks like a real pain in the ass.
If it was me I would have said thanks for your time. Good bye.
I am interested in the products/services each will offer.
That bed looks expensive, and I am not sure there is a big demand for such beds unless you react to bed mites.
I also cannot see how you can make a vacuum more popular than the Dyson. Dyson worked on that machine for years.
At the beginning someone wanted to do a rented adult DVD website in the UK. Thick sod, unless they are just 18 clased then they must be sold or rented from a sex shop.
I think the gay couple may have the best idea, for the slimming system, as there is far less risk (no real product to develop, just a service from what I make out).
But non, really got me thinking, this will make a million with ease.
I think that most of the people on it, are just expecting to sit back and do nothing. And make it rich.

Yes they gave me that impression too.

There was a clip (not sure if it was from the next show) where one of the mentors was asking where all the paperwork was that was promised.
The girl was just full of excuses.
I would not have wasted my time on her.
I think the problem is that these days, any thick twit can get very well paid jobs, and so convince themselves that the are clever. They are far better sticking to there little well paid office job, where they can do nothing worth wile all day long, and spend all there time telling others how great they are.
In the real world they soon realise that they are pointless worthless people, such as that daft moo and her partner who wanted a salary. They clearly are not worth £1. Will they do well. I doubt it.
It's a variation of the BBC 2 programme "Dragons Lair" or similar name.
But it was ok.. I can see the two mothers losing their £30k PDQ..

Yes it is a bit like that show.
To be honest I thought it would have been more interesting if each show just covered one set of people/business, rather than all of them, as I got confused who was who (but I was only half watching as I was on the phone at the time).
I forgot they have invested money.
Is there a website on the show as it would be interesting to read about each of them.
What is funny about Dragons Lair, is that one of those so called business experts, owned Red Letter Day, and now its gone bust (unless she sold it before it went bust). So I am not sure they are as expert as they think they are.

Yes I think they will be one of the first to go. Id be interested to know what the guy who mentored the 2 gays guys did as it said he had made his money in dot coms. His house was nice in Scotland.
