Touker just doesn't come across as trustworthy IMO. I wouldn't care what he offered, I just wouldn't go into business with him. Does anyone else feel the same?
He does come across as quite shifty like an Arthur Daly type. Deborah sees right through him. That's why they clash all the time. She obviously dislikes him and doesn't care if he knows it. There's obviously no love lost between them. Especially after tonights clash.

Yes! I thought the chocolate guy would turn him down.

Thankfully less of the coming up's and intros this series and that awful reaction room seems to have gone ... fingers crossed!

That's what I was thinking. I really couldn't see what was so different about it to all the other tennis holiday venues out there. Unless a dragon, especially Peter endorsing it will make it more appealing to the celeb obsessed world we live in these days.

With your username, will you be signing up for a holiday?

I thought it was quite smart to get the club pros to do all the recruiting and (most likely) all the organising of tournaments etc.....all for £50 a head (and that will have been added on to the cost anyway) and a freebie working holiday.
Guess who'll be doing all the work?

I thought it was meant to be a festive special, excluding the one line from Evan Davies at the end about stockings it wasn't!

I certainly won't. Not if Peter Jones is involved.

I just remembered - from the two shows from this half of the series, they seem to have ditched the Reaction Room.

Hows Boot Buddy a success? £12.99. I might pay £1 in a pound shop!

A-list celebrity!?

As for not being able to reveal the brand on-air, why can't they tell them and then ask to have it edited out?

Time for some tactical thinking by Touker?

"I'll offer you all the money and an office in London for 99.99% of the business"

My friends went on there. They had offeres from all dragons. They had already said to us that were not going to accept any offer from any dragon. They just wanted to get there product on TV. the day after the show was aired there email was inundated. Mainly from companies they had already been turned down from. They sold the product rights and patents to a very large multinational. They now have no money worries. Nice couple.
well dah, i'm sure plenty go on there for free prime time advertising on the bbc !

Fair to say Sunil was bullshitting as I see no evidence that he was once an A-list celebrity.

I felt he was a legend in his own mind, and believed his own hype.
