It was the one idea I remembered and thought that could do well. Argos seem impressed. GO PANTSMAN!

according to the website £25k of the sales will go to cancer research, so he must be confident otherwise it'll be a big loss.

Argos predict 10,000 by Christmas so he has done well. Probably would have made more sense to manufacture in Asia but UK manufactured is a good angle for him. |

It strikes me as one in a long line of gimmicky exercise aids that that bought, used a couple of times and then stashed in a cupboard.
Of course, the 'stashed in a cupboard' part is immaterial from a business point of view. it's the 'gets bought' part that's important.

Maybe it's not so silly an idea as Pants Man then!

Was he in the team that came up with this in the first place? Did he have to pay the BBC to get the copyright of the product?

PJ I always thought the Body Rocka was one of the few genuinally good performances of the last series and thought it could sell well. |

Good on Phil for actually doing something in the business world following leaving the show. You do not here about stories like this very often. |

My Body-Rocka arrived this morning!!
Very cool box like Apple Mac sort of style and Phil has a little picture on the back. The Body Rocka is very light and looks quite different to the prototype they had made, it's a lot smaller. In the box you get a full body workout plan and there is a pad to put it on so it wont damage the floor which will please my husband. I work in product development and I hold my hands up and have to say I am very impressed! Will test it out tonight!

The extra effort keeping balanced should give quite a few muscle groups a good workout. |
