Al B Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Never knew he had his own TV show!!! Was a kinda documentary focusing on someone trying to start up a small business and he kinda mentors them through it, giving them advice along the way. Edit - should probably be in compost corner...sorry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Can watch it here if you like - Tricky Business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCC Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Just startin again on C4 +1, so have set the sky+ to tape it and will watch it later. Lookin at the description below IMHO this belongs on this forum and not Compost Corner as it gives us a chance to rate the bloke at the very top o' the tree. His abilities are as important as anyone else at MFC............ "In the second series, multi-millionaire businessman John Boyle visits would-be entrepreneurs working in a variety of sectors. He observes their problems and offers advice, tough talk and support." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Been on loads of times before over the last few years. Is this a new series or just a repeat run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It is a repeat. Been on the go for years. Despite what happened with Motherwell FC you cant really knock his business knowledge too much. Guy had made more than us all put together!

JAr Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Been on loads of times before over the last few years. Is this a new series or just a repeat run? Exactly what i was gonna say myself, hardly riveting stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCC Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Never seen it before but then again I have never seen any daytime TV before! Pretty sure its a repeat though as it opens with the statement that he successfully runs his own football club (cue video of him at FP siting in the stand) and that he also owns his own Airline (cue video of him strolling off a Zoom plane). Unfortunately he successfully took both of those into administration............ Not gonna argue though that he must be doing something right cos he is still worth a few bob!

DonGoodman Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I watched that show a while back, its like dragons den without JB actually putting any money into the business. He just gives them advice and criticism. Surely if their idea was that good he'd be looking to get in on it in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCGMFC Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 he probably has maybe just after the show is finished he may really like an idea of one of the would-be businesses and puts some of his own dosh in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
