That said he seemed happy enough to be out of it.
Back to the shop shelves for him.

God I find it a bit dull. The project leader for the boys wrecks my head. I really want to punch his lights out. And David. Dull, dull, dull. Didn't see much else from the rest of them TBH but I'm sure that goes with the territory.
Funny moment for me was when they all heading into FX Buckley's on Moore St and tried to sell a box of fruit to Tom Buckley (owner). First said he'd buy, went out the back and didn't come!! Made a pure show of them Class bit of TV. 0 -

I thought it was ok if nothing special. TBH it was all a bit meh and nothing really stood out.
Plus why was there not one shot of the IFSC?? Surely in a show like this that is what you need. In the BBC version Canary Wharf is almost like an extra character. But for some reason the boardroom is in some dodgy looking horrible building here
Plus Bill is far too nice. He needs to be much more nasty and confontational to make it entertaining.0 -

Sugar's offices aren't in Canary Wharf though. They're in some serviced office on the outskirts of London.
I agree a few shots of the IFSC would have been nice.
I thought Bill came across better than Sugar. He didn't need to raise his voice and came across as a real hard-nosed clued in businessman. I'd say he'll "grow into" the role and we'll see a more confrontational side to him.0 -

They seemed very unimpressed that they didn't try sell in the Ilac or Jervis shopping centres but surely it would be illegal to do so without a license???
Okay,
I said I would give it one episode to see what I thought.
1. Yer man who got fired (David) was an absolute plank and was obviously the worst there. I dont understand how he was actually in business at all. He could have been an actor drafted in to make it easier on the res of them for the first show.
2. Mark, the team lead also made mistakes but has a good sales side, he'll do well despite the fact that he thinks he's great for never going to college yet director of his own busiess (well done man, easy to step into yer old mans business). He is a bit of a pure dub, a bit like Bill himself and that will no doubt go down well.
3. I know this happens in the English one as well but the lads only lost by €15 yet were torn apart.
4. Lots of laws were broken I reckon in that episode. Not sure how far the street traders licence goes but I suspect going to private business' selling stuff was not in the deal.
5. The champagne and fruit stolen from the house in the first place was laughable, the lads deserved to lose on this alone.
I'll probably watch it again but not sure for how long.

Agreed with the above however the IFSC probably wouldn't be very filmable at the moment due to Luas works.
Having read both of Bill Cullen's books and attended a couple of his talks, he's a very inspirational character (we'll for me anyhow). So it's no real suprise that he's coming across well, perhaps better than Sugar. However he needs to harden up a bit. The first episode just looked all a bit too cosy, bit dull.0 -
