As a kid I did my own graffiti on my bedroom wall and I wasn't a yob. It's expression and kids are very much into expression. Add into that having banksy style stencil images and I think it would be a winner. His price was way too high.. but I think it was a decent idea. Kids put posters all over their walls. Theres a market for replacing wallpaper with something more interesting to them.

Whilst I do watch this show, fundamentally because entrepreneurism/business/finance is an interest of mine, the british version is not in the same class as the Canadian one; the investors are more critical, the ideas are more believable. Shark Tank in the US is my favourite, for the same reasons. Also, I prefer the shark investors, especially Lori Greiner and Kevin O Leary. The UK dragons have dismissed so many inventions as non starters, no hopers, which have, ultimately, become huge success stories. The prime example being the tangle teezer, and Shaun Pulfrey. Bet he is pleased he didn't get an investment, and got to remain the sole owner of his business.
I usually sky+ DD, and watch it when I have nothing else to view. |

Yep. The show just isn't the same. Even Duncan seems quiet this series.
IMHO replace Piers with Theo. I'm not keen on Piers, but imo Theo was worse. I liked him the least out of all the dragons. |

You did your own graffiti though - that's expression, not Mummy buying a ready-made stencil for your wall. It goes against the whole ethos of street art, kind of like buying a £50 designer T-shirt with 'Anarchist' on it.
Ie Tom who is 8 loves Man Utd. So his word is "Man Utd Rock". He picks the font he likes the look of. He makes the letters red with a white border and he picks a football stencil to go with it. That's unique to him and he gets it on his wall. As an idea I thought it was brilliant.. just far too over priced. |

that last woman could do so much better than the fat guy with the weird voice
![]() I was happy to see Piers stand up against the other dragons a bit at the end there and call them out for some dodgy criticism although when he said the pair needed way more money than what they were asking for, I thought he was going to offer more... |

IMHO replace Piers with Theo. I'd get rid of Deborah and Duncan personally. Meaden is so full of herself and all she does is point out the complete bleeding obvious. |

Another programme with an unacceptable amount of padding, it was 34mins in and only 2 pitches. I think the graffiti guy shot him self in the foot with not finding out how much the App/Online Ordering software would cost, I know from experience that getting a online ordering and design software written for a print business is very expensive, you can get to 50k very easily.
Thought the Curries were a good idea, I turned to my wife and said "Yes, it's strange that there's Italian Sauces in the chiller cabinet, but not Indian", seeings how Indian is bar far one of the most popular take away meals. The Glamping guys were bonkers, who would put all that time and money into an investment and basically have 10 years or so to make it work. |
