Tycoon - Peter Jones Itv1 9PM Tonight

[retired_member3]

I think if you have gone to Peter with that business idea, he'd have put your gran on the show. Although my Gran is so good lucking she wouldn't have split her equity.

I'd like to have seen him issue her with her targets for the week.

Both my grans have been dead over 10 years and still they'd probably make more money on the game than that birds woman juice idea!

She has a simple but moribund marketing flaw:

"A refreshing alcoholic Vodka drink."

how come peter jones can get away without wearing his seatbelt whenever he is filmed in his car?

 

[retired_member12]

It's classed as a limo, isn't there some regs to allow for that?

 

[SF]

Seems hes selling goodies from his site also https://www.tycoon.com/TycoonShop/index.cfm

Quite like the signed book for £29.00.

 

[SF]

....Peter Jones "I dont see it as failure just feedback" ...

Cheers DB. I've been looking for a phrase like that to use in my appraisal with my boss. That'll do niceley

[SF]

[mattonline]

My god, how can anybody watch this show.

Anybody off the street could come up with better ideas in seconds. Its ludicrous that even with a huge budget he cant even get a few decent ideas with legs. Its make me sick to have these losers given air-time. Tycoon is flop...his brand counts for nothing in the business community. Compare with the apprentice which was *actually* used in some business schools and provided interesting entertainment and was educational. Tycoon is pap and will never run another series...

Tycoon is pap and will never run another series...

I doubt it will even finish this one, my guess is it'll be moved to ITV4 or even sold to another crappy channel very soon

 

[GWing]

it's on itv 4 or 3 possible even 2 tonight at 21:00'ish (best check for yourself as it isn't very accurate)

Can you imagine if Ricky Gervais wrote it, he'd have won many awards from this comedy.

If they had of marketed it as a comedy, it would be a hit. But they told people it was a real tycoon program and that's where they went wrong.

In my opinion it's funnier than the BBC show "The Office",

After the last couple of episodes, I won't waste my time watching any more.

Peter Jones has no pizazz
The contestants are boring
Their products are worse than useless
The show is badly directed and produced
There is a shop somewhere in London that has been set up specifically to market the products from the show. Apparently it is a complete disaster. What a surprise.

Nice to actually see him actually fail at something!
Although i didn't actually see him, as haven't watched it, lol

 

[GWing]

I can't see why you horrible bunch don't like it, the latest episode has been the funiest yet. None stop 30 minutes of laughter.

Fail? haha The program may fail he will make a huge amount out of IP rights.. It's a win win for him!

 

[GWing]

he gets 25% of those that make money,

a couple of them may have made money when doing this program, but now the public know the muppets behind them. They'll not sell another, apart maybe from the helicopter guy.

But he certainly has lost a lot of credibilty now, it's being reported he may even be removed from the dragons den.

 

[SF]

Well his latest trick must be sell and book and not deliver the goods! nice one peter jones - could show him a few basic business pricipals (sorry for the spelling)

Wheres my signed book Mr Jones!
