Did anyone notice this rather interesting point about tonight:

Sir Alan : I've got Engineers who dabble in Sales and it dosen't work, I've got Lawyers who dabble in Marketing and it dosen't work' etc

Then in next weeks episode preview

Sir Alan : 'Us knowing nothing about the art world means jack !!!!'

I think he meant for the task. He wouldn't do that in real life business, but for the purpose of this show they have to do lots of different things to make it entertaining.

Perhaps they failed a reality simple thing such as marketing or sales, which they are supposed to be good at regardless of what the product is?
