Who needs these photo booths these days, when we have smart phones and tablets which can also upload to the net immediately? I don't understand why the dragons are so interested.

The heel protectors are available from E-Bay for 99p delivered! & this thread should be in reality tv there the main thread is.

We had one at the office Christmas party. It was very popular (to my amazement it has to be admitted).

Finally they've got rid of the 'coming up next' segments at the beginning of the show.

And neither have they got rid of the sob stories...less than 10 minutes in 'I had cancer'. Sorry to hear that, but how is that in any way related to a business pitch? Also Evan Davies is clearly trying to shove more lame puns in than ever! Such as the 'lights out' one for the lightbulb guy ![]() If Peter Jones says '...and that's the only reason I'm out' one more time too... |

And the example they produced is the wrong spec for a passport photo (producing photo id is the only time I've used them). |

But it's not even a booth. How do you control the background, or the height of the camera for shorter or taller people?

That's all they are. It's a bit of fun not a proper photo booth for passports. |

We need more spectacular crash outs with long dramatic camera zooms

Coupled with their strange enthusiasm for a "modernised" photo booth from a couple of "full of themselves" cocky lads, really does indicate that the show which once was very innovative and vibrant, is now getting very stale and forced. |

What on earth is the obsession with hiving this off to the reality tv forum? This doesn't fit in that genre at all. It's factual TV, if you're going to be picky, it's nothing like BB or Made in Essex. Lighten up! If these busybodies have there way there will hardly be anything discussed in the main TV forum.

I couldn't believe the cheek of those " inventors" with their kicking game, 4 feathers on a weight, cost 70 pence selling for £7. 99. They must think people are idiots!
Jones' attitude stank. £800 "cheap" for basic home automation. Yeah, maybe for you pal. Then the whole "recite after me" patronise-a-thon. OK, those lads were dicks but not the point. And that one with the poodle hairstyle. Why doesn't she just f*** off?! Irritating old bag. Evan Davis is one of the most disengaging presenters i've ever known, hate the weird looking little tossbag. Then there's the endless intros and recaps. Can't have been more than 10 minutes of content in the entire show. |

surprised the photo booth got picked up. I love photo booths - we had one at our wedding last year...but...
a) traditional booths have a curtain on for privacy - will people be willing to do silly faces as much when everyone can see? b) we had props - I don't think they were utilising props with theirs? Props are half of the fun! |

Once you've seen how it's really done, on Shark Tank, Dragon's Den is just opinionated twaddle, and deathly boring. I tried the current episode after a long break, and soon realized I was wasting time that could've been spent watching paint dry. |

Thank goodness he's gone. Both of them were a terrible addition to the show. No personality or charisma at all.

So that leaves just Peter & Deborah. End of the road for the show imho. I can't see them being able to slot three new people in at once.
If Peter somehow managed to talk Theo and Duncan into doing another series then I'd probably watch it but otherwise I think it's time they stopped. |

Haven't bothered with this series and I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Its biggest failing was not being bold enough to make big changes to keep the audiences interested. Goodbye DD
