So as I said, the location is crap and they should churn them out from a Croydon industrial estate and put a pretty picture of the Scottish location on the packaging.

This doesnt sound like a business worth investing in at all tbh

She couldn't have accepted Touker's deal as the rules state that you have had to have been offered at least the amount of money you're asking for.

Debra don't be such an idiot you can fly to London from Inverness about 5 times a day. That sill beech needs to go and look where Baxters and Walkers are based.

The dragons often talk about investing in the person as much as the business. I reckon she
made a judgement call on Touker and I would have felt the same. It was like he was saying
"do you want 50% of my business?"

I thought it was just use of his business resources, but then I see at the very end he says all of the money.

Not a great show tonight. DM's outburst and Touka being a nob with the revised offer stood out. Enjoying this series much more than the ones with Kelly Hoppen and the other bloke. They were awful dragons.

I thought that Deborah Meaden behaved childishly by withdrawing her offer after the lady jumped the gun, thought that she was getting another offer, and that she had the opportunity to get two dragons involved. A quite understandable error from someone nervously making their first appearance on TV. Deborah, on the other hand, is a professional broadcaster and should know better! I felt so sorry for the couple.

Hahaha I'm guessing you haven't googled Deborah to check out her business background.

Deborah is a smart cookie and I could see what she meant on this. The Irish woman will regret what she said for a very long time.

If I were a dragon I would have gone with the gluten free people.

Do people really use the term "life partner" when introducing their other half? Thought it was odd when the narrator introduced the gay couple at the end as being such.

Evan does play for the same team; might that have something to do with it?

Touker might have got somewhere with the skin product girl if he'd gone 49%/51%, so she keeps a controlling interest?

I doubt any gay or lesbian person would ever use the term "life partner". Yet again its the pc brigade bbc acually being offensive because they are scared of offending people. Its ludicrous.

Has anyone actually ever chosen Touker when there was more then one dragon to choose. No one seems to want him at all. Its understandable.

I assumed it was just to distinguish from business partner. They usually say in Dragons' Den when people are in a personal as well as business relationship. How else can they describe it if they're not married or in a civil partnership?

I don't see why it's necessary to mention anyone's personal life in a show that is about business. So mention people's business relationships and positions and not their shagging details.

But they've always done it - they've said 'husband and wife team' or 'business partners' for years. Finding out about the person behind the product has always been part of the show. It would be odd if they didn't mention a personal relationship just because it's a same sex couple. I am waiting for the first 'husband and husband' or 'wife and wife' team though. I guess in 10 years no one will comment on it but we don't yet have regularly used phrases for same sex couples, which is why it's generated comments.

I thought it was ludicrous that none of the dragons asked what else was already available to cover up vitiligo. Off the top of my head I can name two very well known cosmetic companies that sell very effective face and body makeup that will cover up not only vitiligo but even tattoos, that is waterproof yet can look completely natural. Available to the general public as well as in regular use by the TV and film industry. Surely asking about competition is the very first, most basic question, yet the dragons didn't ask. Pathetic.

"But will foodie Sarah Willingham like the taste?"

"Internet tycoon Nick Jenkins has spotted a problem with the website"

I swear Evan has to big up the dragons about 100 times per episode this series!

Just catching up. Deborah looked truly hurt. I did feel sorry for the woman who said it too.

He praised her "openess" but then was not willing to accept that this product was part of a journey and just wanted to incorporate the business into his own empire.
