    Dragons' Den star Peter Jones meets two of the country's most well known and successful entrepreneurs to get into the DNA of what made them millionaires.


    Peter gets to grips with Richard Reed - co-founder of Innocent, the smoothie company with a 165 million pound turnover, and Michelle Mone, the self-made inspiration behind the multimillion pound Ultimo lingerie business. He finds two very different characters as he takes them back to their childhoods, examines their personalities, studies their business models, asks what they are like to work for, and discovers what it was that drove them to be entrepreneurs.


    Having built up his own multimillion pound empire, Peter knows how to get inside the minds of these inspirational business leaders who don't take no for an answer, as he attempts to find out if there really is a blueprint for success.

    Should be interesting, though I don't have much time for the Smoothie Crowd since they sold themselves out.

    All talk Reed.

    In some ways it is quite appriopriate that Innocent were taken over by Coca Cola, in recent tests, Innocent Smoothies were found to contain more sugar than Coke.

    I find Peter Jones really dull, ITV gave him his own an Apprentice style programme a few years ago but they had to pull it after a couple of episodes as no-one was interested in watching him.

    I was aiming more at Innocent priding itself as being a "Salt Of The Earth" Company and choosing to sell out to this and this.

    Just finished watching it on plus.
    I'm pretty sure Richard Reed didn't make too much of Petre Jones with his constant dismissive attitude to Innocents work ethos.
    That question about the £100 million cheque was a bit disrespectful too,anyone could see Reed was more into it for the personal fulfillment than the ultimate "cashout".
    Michelle Mone is one hell of a woman,what an inspiration and human being,even if her home is too tidy..

    Sugar is sugar, doesn't matter whether it is processed or natural it still has the same affect on children.

    Of all the people Dragans on the English Dragons Den i dislike him the most. He comes across as such a d***. I would think working with him would be like working with that clown Bill Cullin
