Tycoon - Peter Jones Itv1 9PM Tonight

[jonno]

tbh if he had picked better ideas and added a few more twists and cliffhangers i think it would have been a hit. the ideas were mega pants, and it was clear from the start who'd win.

tonights final was a joke really though - live final in just 30 mins - announced the winner and then basically said bye within about 30 secs

i kinda hope ITV give him another chance though, i'm sure he'll learn from his mistakes

At the least the eco-bag had some promise from global roll-out and was a sort of innovation. The helicopter is not a sustainable business or idea. He made the most money - but what is he going to do when he finds a myriad of copy-cat choppers on the market? The market will move on, he has to keep sourcing products...so he is nothing more than an importer.

If he has the brains that I think he has; and giving him the benefit of the doubt over the crazy mistake he made about not getting exclusivity, my guess is that he'll be spending a lot of time in China sourcing new products. That's where I'd be with the £200k.

The oxygen of publicity can be expensive, especially at ITV rates.

Anyone read his book yet? Any good?

So how does he suggest turning GBP 1K into GBP 100K?

Still no book

Did the book ever appear and is it any good?

They told me the payment didnt go through on my card, but the money was taken out of my bank I complanied and they sent me a refund. (eventuly)

Not sure i want to read it anyway now - since the flop of his last show.

 

[BFTUK]

I've got the book, only just started to read it though. I'll let you know when i finish it!

I read the book this weekend. I will need to read it again though before writing a review.
