If someone was able to look in my window? I live on the top floor of flats. I'd think I was going mad if I looked out and saw someone looking in.

Nice advert for them I suppose. Wondering if that's all they were after.

Either that or they're raving mad.

Peter is disgusted someone has dared to refuse his offer.

I don't think so. If the patents are as they say they are they might have regretted giving away 30%.

The "You're not the only business people in the world" line was a den classic.

Peters face was priceless when he said that. These dragons think the whole business world revolves around them. That was a nice slap in the face for them.

That was good to watch, for the 5 deflating ego's alone

'You're not the only experienced business men'.

They now know there's interest and they are taking their business elsewhere.

Good for them.

Can't believe nobody mentioned the glum hangdog expression of Peter during the Spray-Tan girls "Charlie's Angels" entrance!

Best reaction ever.
Like a man who's just been told that his wife wants to spend another hour in a shopping centre.
Cracked me up!

So Peter's reaction to being asked if they could go out for a beer to see if they'd get on before signing over 30% of their business is to sneeringly call the guy 'stupid', rather than point out it's against the show's rules.

It may have been an unusual request (for the TV show, not real life) but Peter pretty much inadvertently answered the question. I'm not surprised they declined the offer.

If he can't have 40% of the business and have 'his people' operate it from a Chinese sweatshop, Touker seems to have some sort of meltdown.

Who would use this anyway? Reminds a me of a guitar hero game however surely apps like Garage band are better?

Kenny Rogers is annoying me.
Well his business was rubbish but I did enjoy him trying to recreate Monty Python's argument sketch with Peter Jones.

Yeah he does seem to have a harsh approach sometimes. I'd hate to have him as my manager so I see your point. But then perhaps his approach gets results.
That's why these people are entrepeneurs. They don't work well in a team, they much prefer to lead one. Imagine Alan Sugar having someone else tell him what to do!

I think Peter Jones has turned into someone I don't like very much.

I also, dislike Peter. He's greedy and wants to exploit the contestants not help / invest in them.
Peter can be rather narcissistic and, increasingly, complacent and assuming, when he makes an offer. A bit like 'you would be mad not to want me on board' type of attitude.
I have a lot of admiration, and respect, for Deborah. If I was one of the entrepreneurs, she would be the dragon, whose knowledge, experience, and business acumen, I would want.

£3.95? For beans?😨
He did say, fortunately for his bank balance, he was not trying to compete with the baked bean brands. I still think £3.95 a tin, is overpriced.

I quite like Nick. He comes across as a smart chap. I think like he said at the end.. everyone assumes Peter is the only person who can make a success with food brands.
Levi Roots' Reggae Reggae Sauce.
Peter made a choice investment here. This is a prime example, of the contacts, experience, and generic involvement of a dragon, being financially beneficial.

Watch equivalent of the loom band.
Could take off for a couple of months, then put in a drawer and never worn again.

Touker would have got them made in Turkey and they would have broken after 2 weeks.
