At the time of production, Tracy's boyfriend was under investigation for murdering his other girlfriend Kinga in Paris. He was found guilty, sentenced to 20 years then released after 2 years. Duncan pulled his investment after this came to light.

[@Hutchyy]

This would be a fair question if she didn't get an investment, but she did

[@thefonzkiss]

The Dragons would be better off contacting the manufacturer direct and saying they have the ability to sell more units than their current licensee. Bam, they would drop her 90 days later and work with someone with more cash to invest, staff and more ability. Tracy not necessary. No reason to invest.

[@LunaShimmyDiva]

I’d imagine dragons have some contractual limitations on their activities. After all, being a dragon gives them access to confidential info re: businesses they evaluate.

[@GodotOfficial]

I’d rather give my money to Tracey Beaker than Tracy Baker

Tracy Beaker would never.

I like how Deborah is patting herself on the back like she discovered some hidden secret in the contract, but the lady literally JUST told them about the 90-day termination notice.

[@kezzokav5905]

No, Deborah emphasised that they could terminate Tracy's contract at any point WITHIN the 90 days. Deborah discovered that her contract was even worse than how Tracy explained it. It's essentially a 0 day contract.

[@nimrodhawk4011]

@@kezzokav5905 "Upon 90 days written notice"...So for any reason, at any time, they can cancel with 90 days written notice. Not saying it's a great contract, but it's not like the lady was being secretive about it.
