Ahhh fresh shows, watched the old'ns to death on TiVo

Yep - send my bag got given short thrift - nice idea but nothing that airline carriers or UPS/Fedex etc can't replicate bigger, better and cheaper within a month if they got a task team on it!

That guy in the last pitch who mouthed the whole pitch... too funny.

Missed it ... watching the repeat tonight as internet here is crap for watching online!

If the idea is replicated, I suppose at least he's at least got a decent enough domain name if they have an affiliate program.

Thanks for that link Andy. When you come to think about it this particular 'Business idea" was one of the few with a 'real world' awaiting audience. I appreciate this particular participants idea started off from sending Students bags. But, when you think about it there is ready-made and growing need for this type of service - And it could effectively and quite easily be targeted to quite a few other areas.

Now one could argue that this service is readily available from most 'Courier' type carriers and indeed can be duplicated. But, the fact is it isn't marketed as such.

I actually registered 4 domains shortly after Dragons Den finished - based around this concept (securing a particlar term, in it's key extensions and not a "spead of terms")

I'm not normally quite so frivalous when it comes to new registrations - But, sometimes particularly in the domain world you do have to take a punt before the The Business model itself is a full-blown reality. The fact of the argument that any shipping/forwarding/courier type business would/could particularly be looking for a slice of the action is usually a better sign to my mind to be sniffing-out the better generics.

The ex-boxer with the 'abs pack' - kept going on about 'the name' ... doesn't look like he actually owns the 'domain' name - someone picked up the co.uk during the show by the look of it and the .com is with someone in the States. I'd have loved one of the dragons to ask if he'd secured them.

I did enjoy his joke about being ranked the 2nd best boxer in England

That was a cracker (2nd in about hundred bouts)

I do feel sorry for a lot of the participants putting their ideas forward - when you can hear their breathing getting laboured and going out of sync , as the nerves get to them. I'm suprised nobody has pee'd on the floor yet, Once the Dragons dig-into-them

Actually it's spelt "AbsPak" without the 'C' and not AbsPack as you have spelt it. So he has secured both the .co.uk and .com tld

Anyone knows where I can watch them online while being abroad?

Anyone knows where I can watch them online while being abroad?

The BBC do seem to be particularly strict with their content, which makes sense with overseas sales possibly in the pipe. I would guess you could find some of the content on youtube but even then it's probably going to show the dreaded "Not Available in Your Country" message

Have you looked at Onspeed?

Just looked at the Synopsis for this Sundays Prog.

Can't wait

So....he got the typo!
