The Big Idea

This is on Sky One now and it has me confused.

How does Ruth Badger have the expertise to criticise any design/Invention. Seriously, this girl came from nowhere and did OK on a TV programme that had little to do with design. :confused:

She doesn't, but even if only one person watches it because her name is involved, will be one more person than if it was hosted by someone who had actually been behind all sort of fantastic designs, but no-one had ever heard of. Plus, she's probably a lot less busy than them, and cheaper.

That's celebrity culture for you.

The Dragons Den guys were hardly household names, and that seems to be doing alright.

Having said that, this is Sky.

Exactly, the combined wealth of the dragons is about £500 Million. Hence their expertise is obvious and they also risk their own capital.

Millionaires all trying to undercut the other ones with better deals also makes great tv.

I agree. Too bad the creaters of the big idea didn't realise they simply copied a better idea themselves.
