Dragon's Den (IRL)

jescart

Part of me thinks a lot of these contestants deliberately overvalue their company, knowing full well they won't get invested in - just for the free product advertising on RTE.

Don't think they'll get a cent. The music in the background gives it away...

I think its the same for the dragons, just doing it for publicity, don't think they have money to invest and spend their time away from the den thinking up excuses not to invest. Having said that the vast majority of companies on the show is poor.

YOu didn't miss much last week, "health and safety manuals" was the highlight of the show

jescart

This is like the opening scene of a disturbing horror movie

Yawn! This pitch is yawnsome to me too, what do ye reckon?

kinklee7

the cloak ? Hardly Riverdance is it ?

dee_mc

It's a very visual story if you get me, I don't see how they'll blow us away with a visual representation of the cloak story. I'm declaring myself out anyway!

jescart

YAWN

Angela's Ashes meets Game of Thrones, he says sarcastically.
Yes, that sounds about right, says the producer.
Crikey, he was taking the mick, wake up man!

Not worth a million in fairness

They're not too hot with the figures!

FYP!

athtrasna

They haven't a clue about musical theatre in Ireland, not a hope of that being a hit!

jescart

Nice bit of free advertising for them all the same

dee_mc

Oh the dragons love it when people like Finian pull their sales projections from their bum! Come on, does this guy even watch the show like!

I think RTE just let this lad in to the den so that they would have to feed the dragons themselves.. .. I'd say Chuck Norris has some appetite

Pizzas all the way to Hong Kong

dee_mc

What's alternative about them I wonder? Fair play getting into Hong Kong market, wonder why he needs investment?

Very crowded and competitive market that..

jescart

Sarah Silverman is looking well

dee_mc

Ths is a good idea. Trollies are manky yokes!

le la rat

It could catch on

dee_mc

Oh I love this idea! These were huge for soccer when I was a kid, I presume the horrible drawings are just for the prototype?

jescart

€10k is pocket change to these people, she will get a few investors

dee_mc

Again, great publicity. Her stuff looks good

A bit naïve but super genuine! She's wrong to discount the shamrocks and shillaleghs, massive American market for high quality tacky Oirish jewelry where I work

I think Peter had a twinkle in his eye for her as well.. I'm not fully sure it was the product he was investing in there.

They don't want your money, it won't make them happy... So why are they on Dragon's Den.. oh right. Time for bed!

They make brown hosts, it reminded me of a Fast Show sketch years ago where a churchgoer was lobbying for low carb communion hosts

He should have made a better comparison. Game of Thrones is the hottest show on TV right now. It has a 9.5 rating on IMDB, it's made by HBO who are renowned for making excellent TV and even then it's their second most viewed show of all time and consistently breaks viewing records for them and is pretty much consistently the number 1 most downloaded show. If I produced something and someone compared it to Game of Thrones I'd be delighted.

I dont understand how this is legal... ? What's his next product... A "euro on a string" for vending machines?

And when the guy said "You need to go shopping", did you see the face of Ramona Nicolas... He obviously meant go "shopping more often" which he qualified shortly after... You'd think that she'd cut a nervous guy a break rather than getting in a strop... I mean the guy is looking for a few quid to help his product, he hasnt gone in there to eliminate the suffragette movement..

Harry Angstrom

They should ask this one how old she is. If she's 92, then they should invest everything they've got.
