Cars also slow down or wait in traffic. While some billboards face approaching traffic and are visible as you drive towards them.

But when that bike stops or slows down, I think the picture disappears. (And I didn't quite understand who would be riding the bike. For £700 (?), you could tow a trailer behind a bike with a proper advertising poster. You could see it when it was stopped or parked too!)
It's also only really effective at night and during autumn and winter. Digital lights don't show up that well during day, do they? Interesting idea, but rather limited.

I thought it was a good ep tonight.

I really didn't understand the bike advertising. Peter Jones was talking sense.
The guy with the sheds was a sly dog! Glad they caught him out.
The barrister with the website was clearly intelligent but i'm really not sure a website like hers would work. I wouldn't use it.
The make-up lady seemed pretty nice but i couldn't see it making a lot of money.

Once again Duncan made no offers and invested in nothing. I really think it's time he left for pastures new and gets replaced for the next series. We already know Hilary is leaving after this series, time he left as well.
Really time to pension the show off in my view.

Same old same old.

dog treats aren't the most out-landish idea ever

but I don't think I'd want it taking up space in my freezer!

I buy my dog a 99 (without a flake obviously) in the summer . But we rarely get a summer so he rarely gets one.

Wouldn't you suddenly feel inadequate if you were sat next to the breathtakingly beautiful Hilary Devey? He's just had his nose put out of joint.

I can't believe i'm saying it again but once more Duncan made no offers and invested in nothing. In fact, in the first two pitches - ice cream dog lady/ballroom dancing man - he was being a right dick to the entrepreneurs! I used to like Duncan, but seriously he needs to go now. If he's not being mean and moody he just looks downright miserable and has an extremely bad attitude. Someone give him his P45, high time he left.

I thought tonight's show was interesting, good show for me.

Dog ice cream lady - i have no pets, but if it works in USA maybe it can work here. Hilary looked right peeved when she picked Deborah over her!
Ballroom dancing invention - niche product.
Tent man - seemed like a great product but what balls he had to turn down the Dragons'! Bravo!
Gardening father/son - went over my head as i have no interest in the subject but Peter Jones seemed to have made a canny deal and spotted something the others missed.

Going by the previews next weeks looks like a cracker!

Ballroom dancing man was a bit up himself IMHO.

IN Strictly they use a broom handle to achieve the same effect - Artem had Holly Valance use one every day in training in the last SCD series, to improve her posture.

Peter Jones made perfectly good suggestioin of using an SCD pro tie-in,
"None of those are known internationally" we want to use a World Champion.

Jones knowing that this product is for beginners, who probably wouldn't know who the World Champion Ballroom dancers are, but someone like Len Goodman is known in 2 huge markets both the UK and USA.

I really don't see the point of Hilary or Duncan being here this series. Nobody wants to take up Hilary's offers despite offering better deals etc and Duncan has openly admitted he won't invest due to his divorce. Totally pointless, at least Hilary did the decent thing and got out.

Theo and Deborah always seem to be investing together, invest in the same things and so on.

Peter is the only one who looks beyond what is being said and last night again showed it by making the other four look completely out of their depth and the look on Theo's face when he realised Peter just outsmarted the lot of them was priceless.

I agree that there is no point in having Duncan there anymore. Not only because of the fact that he doesn“t make any offer but the fact that he shows no enthusiasms whatsoever, no constructive feedback, his analysis are flawed most of the times... etc. Who would like to take an offer from him anyway? I certainly would not.

With Hilary leaving, it does seem like a good time to give it a good revamp and get rid of Duncan too. I think Hilary will be incredibly hard to replace so they could mask it somewhat.

And he isn't feeling well at the moment after suffering a stress attack last week brought on by his acrimonious divorce. According to the Mail:

The self-made tycoon said it is back to business as normal and he is concentrating on his work, but he has joked that his divorce has left him too broke to invest in the next series of Dragons' Den.
'I'm not looking at investing in anything new,' he says. 'Because of the divorce, I can't. It's costing a lot and I can't predict the effect on my finances.'

This divorce seems like a rather big deal, what happened? Why did they split? Has Duncan been naughty? If it's affecting his finances why bother to appear at all on Dragons Den knowing full well he won't and can't invest? Surely the BBC or the producers would have been made aware of this? I wonder how much his wife wants of his fortune lol no wonder he ended up in hospital!
