What masterful sound's engineering, where the narrative is drowned out by superfluous "music".

[@jamiesmusic]

Good effort but you need to turn the music up louder so it completely drowns out Evan.

[@user-hg1ht2vm6p]

That's exactly what we want to happen with autistic Evan 🙈

[@paulstannard7985]

Yep, Evan's repetition of what we can already hear for ourselves is really effing annoying🤬

[@notbernard65]

I fast fwd past Evan every time.

I wish one of the dragons would invest in a sound editor

Too right - the background music was too loud

[@thesnackbandit]

Pretty simple negotiation tactics. Also I think people don’t at all understand the gravity of the opportunity cost of investing in early stage businesses like this.

[@Joefdgtr]

Company was dissolved in 2013. Company traded very poorly based on the fact that in the final Administrators report, showed that there was an estimated £932k deficit.

Suprisingly, both Duncan and Richards investment went through - So sadly lost out on this one.

@@vics749 In all of the Dragon's Den episodes I've seen I've never thought that a reaction from a Dragon has been taken from a different part of the show and inserted it into another conversation to make it look like something happened that didn't.

Because Peter could easily foresee what eventually happened to the business.

These guys were very thorough and clearly knew their market and how to provide good service. The dragons, especially Peter, were unfair, in an era when Peter wasn’t the coward that he was today. Sadly, he has gone the other way. Peter was the best in the mid seasons in the early to mid 10s!

"This Business Was Valued At £4M Months After The Den" By whom? And were they willing to actually pay £4M for it? Anyone can say "I put a value of $200m on this".

Looking at their returns the business was never worth anywhere near £4M, £1.5 was the highest it got years later before going bust.
