I don't think Theo's that impolite is he? He's just honest.
Bannatyne is occasionally quite scathing in a muaudlin way, a bit like Tom Paulin, but I find both of them charming and must conclude that I have soft spot for misery gutses.
The woman is the most scary of all of them, although she has an air of confident efficiency about her and I'm sure she's a good business woman.

They are all in the exploitation game.
So i can't think of any of them as nice people.
Sure the Aussie is polite - but so what.
It is compelling viewing though, precisely because it is so nasty on many levels.

He's the only one I have any real dislike for.
Did you see the look in his eyes when he ripped up that baby-seat sticker (not last week, week before)? He almost made the pitcher cry. It wasn't a 'honest' 'this product is seriously defective' (which it was), but went out of his way to demean the guy IMO.
I see the others as being far more balanced. They'll be straight when they dislike something, but will give praise when its deserved - regardless of whether or not they want to invest in a product; like when Peter Jones offered the American fella selling the 'Cu-top' a job.
I agree. for some reason he seems to be personally affronted by a poor prototype or pitch. that was a good invention, with one serious but correctable flaw. he didn't need to be so scornful about it... IMOEpico said:

Hold on
The whole point of the product was that it saved children's lives and Theo showed that the product, which was already being used by parents, could choke a child.
I don't hink he was being horrible, just pointing out something really serious that needed to be sorted out before any children were harmed
Under the circumstances I wouldn't call it overly dramatic or mean, just understandable, especially as he's a parent himself

it was just *the way* he did it... I still think it was an excellent product, that just needed strengthening... but then, I'm not bein' asked to invest £100 grand in it...

I've only seen one show but it seems like just another tv format for humiliating people.Epico said:
Cunts. All of them.
I used to like it but I'm getting bored fast. The thing about DD is it's all a bit Innovations catalogue, trying to find some cheesy invention that everyone will want because that's what they think makes good TV.
You could come along with a fantastic business idea for a new manufacturing technique for the best margarine ever based on the science of emulsions and you wouldn't get anywhere.
It's also penny-ante stuff, the proper VC outfits don't look at anything requiring less than £2m seed captial.
IMO Peter Jones has the best business head, but then he's worth more than the rest put together. I wouldn't share a lunch with Paphitis or the Meaden let alone a business.

you know, I mis-read that as 'for undisclosed reasons'... it's been bugging me for weeks, what the undisclosed reasons might be... and now I see there aren't any. I'll have to find some other trivia to mull over...beeboo said:
btw, he is massive isn't he?! I mean, really big an' tall...
I like seein' him in the 'where are they now?' shows. I think you see a softer side to him, and I like that...
I do think about Peter Jones a lot actually, tho not in a gay way...
he's got seven inches on me, then...beeboo said:6ft 7in, apparantly. purr!
