Tycoon - Peter Jones Itv1 9PM Tonight

tbh if he had picked better ideas and added a few more twists and cliffhangers i think it would have been a hit. the ideas were mega pants, and it was clear from the start who'd win.

tonights final was a joke really though - live final in just 30 mins - announced the winner and then basically said bye within about 30 secs

i kinda hope ITV give him another chance though, i'm sure he'll learn from his mistakes

At the least the eco-bag had some promise from global roll-out and was a sort of innovation. The helicopter is not a sustainable business or idea. He made the most money - but what is he going to do when he finds a myriad of copy-cat choppers on the market? The market will move on, he has to keep sourcing products...so he is nothing more than an importer.

If he has the brains that I think he has; and giving him the benefit of the doubt over the crazy mistake he made about not getting exclusivity, my guess is that he'll be spending a lot of time in China sourcing new products. That's where I'd be with the £200k.

The oxygen of publicity can be expensive, especially at ITV rates.

Anyone read his book yet? Any good?

So how does he suggest turning GBP 1K into GBP 100K?
