Dragons Den is not about the value of the company its about how much they want, and how much % their want to give away, somehow they dont see that as the value of the firm. They also get totally lost in the idea that it is a £million business now, because they think it will be in the future.”
an example.
Strictly costs £18 million,
Runs September to December.
Saturday show 1-2 hours.
Sunday show 45 minutes.
It takes two, three hours.
Christmas show.
Children in need show.
And included appearances on other shows like The One Show or Breakast.
Is £25 million for a second hand show, for ten hours a year plus an extra slice, with three of four main talent left, good value?
Then it's against the prime remit of channel four so it's going to provoke looking at C4s license, and going to loose two thirds of its audience, and as it's a format the BBC will bring in a new show, maybe with the three former key talent and a prior winner a year ahead if the GBBO.
