BBC Dragons Den [Series 5] Starts this monday (Oct 15th)

[Deleted member 1779]

The latest series of BBC Dragons Den starts this monday and is set to run for nine weeks.

They have a new dragon. James Cann - who replaces Richard Farleigh.

Having watched all the series and most of the programs myself I have to admit to being a bit of a fan. So Monday nights at 9pm for the next nine weeks should be a bit of light entertainment after a hard days work...

They are grumpy looking buggers though aren't they.

Lets hope this year they get to see some better investment oppertunities.


Apparently there is one guy on there who invented a ping pong ball that you put down the toilet. Is has a face on it which you wee on.

The idea seemed to be to concentrate mens minds into aiming.

That snippet was from Peter Jones who was on Breakfast TV plugging the new series.

Oh well !

I'm pretty hooked on it myself actually. I guess the ping pong ball guy doesn't get any cash.

I keep seeing an advert for Dragons Den with some really funky sound-track which reminds me of a tune from gone in 60 seconds. Does anybody know the name of either of the tracks I'm talking about? (by chance)

hi 365

i thought you would have applied for dragons den, theo paphitas is the guy you need to see. he's a retail genius and i would have thought he could have worked well with you diamond drill bits. have you thought about approaching him directly??

I loved the gold plating machine last episode.

I think the tune is the DMX one or one similar from the above list. Anybody know for sure?

Croc - I think you're probably right, Richard / 365drills would benefit from getting on dragons dens or trying to get Theo to hear him out a little.

 

[Deleted member 1779]

Thanks for the advice. I'll look him up. Maybe I could use the Gold Plating machine to coat our diamond drills.

Some real bling.

Just so you know where I am on Gold Plated Diamond drills. I dont see the market and so for that reason..... I'm out.

Or as Scottish Duncan Banantyne would say. ARM OOTTT

 

[Dan]

Ready for the next show tonight?

Did anyone see the guy who came on last year with his adhesive aplicator, i nearly pissed myself, he couldnd even get the fu**ing thing on his back. Anyway how much time would that save you, you can probable apply an even m2 coat of addy in less than a minute. No invention there. A £15 trowel def the quickest.

 

[Dan]

I saw that guy, there are LOADS that must have convinced themselves their products / services will work - crazy some of the ideas - although some are pretty bloody good, and often they are the simple ones too!

Yes apparently the guy who invented the adhesive glue spreading gun walked into PTS training over in Harlow. And when they saw who it was and what it was they laughed!

Not the reaction he wanted.

This thing was so cumbersome to use and to clean that any savings it made on adhesive application was wiped out against the lost time and energy maintianing the equipment.

I tried to find it on the interet but there is no trace of it... I believe it was Series 4 episode 6.

Can anybody remember the I-teddy? Now in shops and I've seen the Xmas ads for some catalogue with it mentioned too.
