Watching late. The Coconut oil, did the producers not do any research and know that 4 dragons could not invest? What was the point on having them on, it was unfair on the business owners because there was no competition between the dragons. Glad they got a deal but very unfair on them and I hope Holly's product fails.

I agree with you. Okay they got some publicity out of it but effectively only having one dragon that could invest was daft.

I see Holly Willoughby and others are just copying Jessica Alba by selling kids skin care products to impressionable and aspiring wannabe mothers. She has made millions out of her 'natural' skincare range by selling them to gullible parents.

What a foolish man - turning down two top dragons for what was quite a modest percentage.
I wonder if some of those who go on the show have ever seen it !

Trying to give the dragons two percent 😂😂😂😂 I've never laughed so much!!!

The nail product seems ok but i wouldn't buy it as I prefer to have them done by a trained manicurist in the comfort of my own home!

Absolutely crazy.


Didn't get that nail product, so you have to wear goggles, gloves etc... when putting it on, and if you spill a bit on your skin, you better get an ambulance

Who wants a plastic tube connected to their taps? Besides, you can already get mixer taps if you only want one.

I think for home users it's a bit pointless ... although may be useful for OAP's or people who struggle with their grip.

But I see a big potential market for hospitality, restaurants, customer service etc.

Is Peter playing the Simon Cowell role this series? He's becoming as grumpy as Duncan used to be.

So DD has turned into a past business practice critique show now? She's there to show them her product and get investment in it. Not to be lectured on her business decisions previous to walking into the den.

If you've walked away from one product, what's to stop doing the same with this one?

Well that's the point of getting a Dragon involved. They don't let you. They direct you and fund you. Or at least they used to.

Immediate issue is it needs the type of toilet that has the button at the top. It also prevents you using the quick flush button which uses less water.

I can see why she may have done that. Tablet's are a current tech that's highly popular. That won't be the case forever. Trays will be around forever.
