Dragons All SHOOK Up Over Jill’s Shower Head Holder | Dragons’ Den

- Jill and the mysterious Mr X may have drastically overestimated our need for a stick-on device to hold shower heads when travelling, but the Dragons find it hard to see the bigger picture. Holidays and travel are just one market, there's also the entirely separate travel accessory gift market.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Excellent gift to let someone know how much you despise them without being too direct

One of those unwanted gifts that gets passed around to insignificant others.
Almost just died laughing.
I dont like the beds in hotel rooms so I usually bring my own bed.
I bring a tent, sleeping bag and pitch it in the foyer.

This is my first ever youtube comment. But i had to say, this. This is the funniest comment i have ever read!@@quarryspanish
This comment is boss 😂😂
:) :) :)
🤣
If she branded it as a tool for helping clean pets like she said, that actually might’ve been a good angle for it.
When you have a regular shower head and you want one with a hose you simply go to Home Depot, etc...buy one, go home and install it and you have a place to hang the head. I've never seen where you can't buy an adapter for $0.98c or more for your hose. There are tons of them online and in hardware stores and they're much cheaper than buying this ugly contraption. And I would never drag something like this along with me on a vacation.
Me and the fiance said this when she brought it up, it's probably something we would see in Wilko, and pick up for a £5 to help us bathe the cats.
But it's not a business to spend 200k on.
I kept thinking if she made her target market the hotels themselves, she might actually be successful. There’s 0 chance that travelers will buy this, but I’m willing to bet that some hotels would buy these in bulk.
I was thinking if she branded it for carers it could possibly work, when I have helped shower people I can tell you this would have been handy.
@@hlstrm that’s what I thought
You wouldn't believe how many times I have been to hotels and none of the doors had handles on them. That is why I carry an assortment of door handles with me everywhere I go for when these situations present themselves.
😂😂😂😂😂🤣
🤣 😂
This is amazing lmao
😂brilliant
😭🤣🤣🤣
Never in my life have I been to a hotel that didn’t have a shower head holder or just a fixed shower head... she’s solving a problem that literally doesn’t exist.
I visit Budapest a lot and I never had this issue. What kind of dive hotels is she going to?
lol right? even budget hotel chains have a pressure hose fixed into the wall. Never had an issue with shower heads.
This is a very old pitch and it absolutely was a bigger "problem" back then. I still stumble upon this regularly - especially in Asia.
I fully agree it's not worth the bother of carrying it around just in case, but it's a problem that does literally exist...
@@callum9999 nahhh maybe in a few places but then such is life!
They dont have seating toilets either in Asia, do you bring your own then?
@@callum9999 some Dragons and viewers just don't get out enough
I think my girlfriend has one of these - I’m always finding suction cup marks on our bathroom tiles. Anyway she seems very pleased with it.
😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahahaaaaa !
This is THE best comment that exists, like ever looool
Thank you for bringing comedy that isn't a damn jenny joke
@@orderlydisorder3332 or Rory and his seaweed 😂😂
😂😂😂
I could have seen it being genuinely useful for washing children or pets who needs the shower head at a lower height. But she dug herself a massive hole by talking about solving a problem in hotels that just doesn’t exist
See now that makes sense, my mom bent a wire hanger to hang the shower head for me within my reach when I was young
I use a shower head for my dogs and just attach it to a long hose. Either way would do though.
👏
agreed, like i can see some elderly folks maybe, people that have to sit in the shower there are some use cases, a hotel when you're traveling is not one of them though lol
AGREE.
I struggle to have a shower in a hotel, so we fit a flow signal

@@gasan6599 imma trademark that...
When she said she spent 90,000 on protecting intellectual property, she lost any business credibility she had left. Insanity. And you can tell she wasn't going to learn a thing from what they were telling her.
The best market for this product would be to use it to hold up Flow Signals on sign posts all over the country.
Its red in colour. Its mimicking the water that's coming towards you
@@BenKellyMusic92 lmao doppler shift
It will tell you where the flow of water is
And to hold up Roy's Seaweed.
And if she ever struggles to find such flow signals, she can give the FlowSignalDoctor a call. ;)
Imagine turning on the shower not knowing the temperature of it. So we put a flow signal on it, red for hot, blue for cold and yellow for tepid.
And it’s mimicking the water coming towards you 😂
I've done a lot of travelling in my time but I don't think I've ever encountered this issue. Even if I knew I was going somewhere that I would have this problem, I'd rather just deal with it rather than have that big yoke in my bag taking up space.
I actually felt sorry for her when she said how much she's put in, what a dreadful product.
I have. But the simple answer is that ordinary and working class people's showers break all the time, especially at the time this episode came out more than ten years ago.
Exactly. I try to take as little amount of crap as possible when traveling.
I’ve done a fair bit of time travelling and I can say with confidence this woman goes on to become a multi billionaire.
I don't feel sorry for her, she was uptight and arrogant, criticising Peter for bringing up the market that she focused on.
Sort of thing you'd see in the pound shop.
You know your product is shite when even James Caan can't hold back his smile.

Back when this aired 10 years ago this was actually a good product. And it looks like she proved the dragons wrong...

Passport, money, adaptor plugs, boarding passes, shower head - yeah I can see this taking off 🤣
Peter: ‘you need a shake’
She has just been Shuc
😂
This comment deserves far more recognition than it’s got 😂😂
I've been to a few B&B's that have had a bath and also have a shower attachment without a holder. The reason for there being no shower holder (I did ask the owner) was for the reason Peter Jones mentioned; they didn't want people standing up in the bath and using the shower attachment. One of the reasons was health and safety (someone slipping) and to try and cut down on the amount of water ending up outside the bath (it wasn't a wet room). I've also noticed that far too many people don't know how to use a shower curtain, strange I know but so many people have the curtain hanging on the outside of the bath - now what is all that about?
This product is actually very good for disabled people, people that want to wash their pets in the bath and for kids. It's also great for poorly designed shower cubicals that don't have a very good adjustable shower head mount. She pitched it all wrong, that was her downfall, oh and her evaluation was bonkers.
She still carries hers everywhere but hasn’t had to use it since this was filmed.

Eh?
Really appreciate James on the show. While the others are laughing and rolling their eyes he always focuses on the pitch and is never ever rude to the guest. If he's not interested he just tells them without making a whole scene about it.
Can't believe Charles Xavier put £100k into this
it was a success apparently
It's great for washing down Beast and Wolverine.
The bad guy from Resident Evil 2.
X gonna give it to ya
@@davidb9062 Waiting for you to get it on your own? Post and packaging deliver it to ya
I can see so many good reasons to have this product. A travel accessory is not one of them.
Whenever I go to a hotel, I am pissed off cause there is no fridge in the room, so for example when I arrive late at night after the long long travel , and the dinner is over I usually go to bed hungry. Bun not anymore. I started to travel with two suitcases lately, one for my clothes, and in the other I bring my microwave oven, a mini fridge, pot, pan, few dishes, glasses and fork. Beside that I bring oil salt and vinegar. So no more hungry nights.
Bahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Do you sell those pre-packaged, appliance-loaded suitcases?
That’s great you should make this a business kitchen in a case and it has a full fold out kitchen you just wheel it round with you, don’t forget me when you make millions……no need to thank me just remember me
This legit made me laugh out loud.🤣
James is so diplomatic, never rude
I'm dying to have this, to prepare for the first day in my life in which I might encounter such a situation
Boy scout thinking 😀
Do notify us if and when it does happen 🙏🏻
@@the_endling that will happen the same day pigs fly using wings they evolved
I am from Greece and I confirm that we do not have the shower head holder because usually we sit in the shower
The product was a success and she now has a series of golden showers around the world
🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
Tut Tut Dragons. The Dragons only stay in 5 Star hotels so would never see the need for Shuc
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Just Browsing That's why it's called "Shuc". It's short for "shower f*ck"
Update: Shuc Limited dissolved. Jill Parkinson and David Coates were the directors. Company dissolved with 189k GBP in liabilities and 9.5k GBP in assets.
You’ve plenty of time on your hands 😂
@@dkane2067 Why? because they opened google and searched something? 🤪
I think she had a romatic and very close relationship with her shower head and thought it was normal enough to be a market
‘Greece is one of the classic destinations where they just do not have shower head holders’
I really don’t know how a person deludes themselves to the point where they make garbage like this up
What are you talking about? Great travelers know that Greece is a holderless destination!
Go to Greece without your own personal shower head. I DARE YOU.
I’ve only ever stayed in villas in Greece and not hotels but they all had shower heads. I’ve gone on holiday in Greece about 5 times now.
Ah Greece, the land of wine, feta cheese, Zorba, and the lack of shower heads. ;)
u know what the Greeks are like!
i think there is a market for a suction mount shower head holder.
people who dont want to drill into their brand new tile. Dog and baby showers where you want the showhead held really low. Disabled people who need a low shower. OAPs who can install a shower head holder. People who rent who are not allowed to drill anywhere.
She fixated to the holiday market which is probably her personal peeve, but she hasn't looked at the wider market.
I actually lived in a flat for 18 years where we didn't have a shower holder. I just held the shower head in my hand. I honestly don't understand why that is an issue. Just hold it in your hand and direct it wherever you want to wash. And when you want to shampoo, just turn the water off, put the shower head down, shampoo, pick up the shower head again and turn the water back on. It's not complicated. It's not difficult. It's not annoying. It's natural. This is solving an issue that absolutely nobody has.
Who wants to be turning the water on and off when showering? Just fit a holder lol.
@@elobiretv It's literally one turning off and on. Turn on, shower, turn off, soap, turn on, wash soap away, turn off. The lack of a holder adds only two steps into this and each of them literally takes a second. Plus it saves water.
Or just buy a bucket and a mug.
you're right mate. it's great for saving water and makes tonnes of sense, the tragedy is we are mostly lazy ppl and we don't like to suffer discomfort etc ( no hot water for a few seconds etc)@@tommy_svk
I lived in a flat for a year with the same set up, didn’t bother me either really
Even if this were a problem, the Dragons would never experience it staying in penthouse suites.
Duncan is from Clydebank
What on Earth was she thinking! Always amazes me how seemingly intelligent, respectable people who have well paid stable jobs, could go and do something as daft as this!!

I was thinking the same thing . 👍. I think they get lost in the brainstorming in there brain.
I think they are bored and fed up so they invent a problem and a solution of said ”problem” in hope of a more exciting, entrepreneurial life.
It's not like they're good at their jobs in the first place. Blinded by the idea of money.
Inability to think of the practicalities and the experiences of most everyday people.
Jill didn't cry , what a wonderful woman.
Poor woman. That was beyond brutal. The Fetus’ shake of the head at 1.37 was the beginning of the end.
And Pizza Jones finished her
The Dragons should have admitted they stay in 5 Star hotels so canmot align with the product
I got shucked off in a hotel bathroom in Vietnam, the best experience of my life!
Bet you didn’t even know it was a lady boy cause you had your eyes closed 😉
@@fireside2270 nope, i knew all along, and I LOVED IT LONG TIME!
Mr. X left Resident Evil 2 to invest in bathroom utensils
The experiences at Spence Mansion really left a mark on Jill too o_o.
lol.
Wesker loves his.
She got absolutely destroyed. That was brutal.
Duncan’s “yeah” at 6:13 is epic
I've never once seen a shower without a holder for a showerhead. They're literally made with them
If she fitted a flow signal so you know which direction the water is going it would be a real seller
Duncan is always short and sweet by saying “I’m owt” without feeling the need to give any reasons
Whereas Jenny always feels the need to give some horrible excuses to be out
Its interesting if you google it up, there are so many of these available from different manufacturers. No idea what she has protected with the 90,000. The question is, were these alternative shower head holders available before Jills?
She might have sold the three rights to them and made her money back. The Shuc brand is sold in Walmart.
That‘s what a I call a solution looking for a problem.
Also, look how big that thing is (given its usefulness in 99% of hotels). Consider how much space that thing takes up in your luggage! No way I would ever want that thing to take up space in my suitcase.
Could have re-branded and aimed at the parent's market....
Regular shower to high? Adjustable toddler shower head.... stick it on the wall appropriate to your kid's height..
Good idea. Look her up and pitch it
i like this!!! im checking amazon right now
I'm bleak that Peter didn't use the opportunity to say "You need to be "shuc."" and instead said "You need to be shaken." Smh
I’ve been to Greece at least 30 times, including backpacking when I was 19. I never once experienced a bathroom without a shower holder. What is she on about?
Obviously previous travellers had left a Shuc in the room!
also even if you had would you care enough to go buy that thing intentionaly and take it on in your suitcase, taking precious space ? terrible, useless product and you just have to check this comment section here you have your market research, she should have spent a few thousands to do exactly this and save the hundreds of thousands.
Backpacking? Surely you'd be showering in a waterfall or something 😅 Camping out though... should have probably had a shuc with you out in the pesky wilderness
I think she was definitely marketing this to the wrong people. I work in a nursing home, and I can see the carers I work with using these when washing the residents since it means they can reposition it depending on what's needed. If she aimed this towards the disability market and gave it a much smaller, more honest valuation, perhaps one of the dragons would have taken it on.
Pet market , pet grooming etc
Even then a lot of shower heads are adjustable and slide up and down a pole to the height you need.
If I checked into a hotel without a shower head holder I’d check out immediately
Travel market was a massive red herring. For the homecare and pet care market, she may have been on to something. Sad that so much money had been spent up to launch 😮
She sounds like she’s at the verge of tears when she’s explaining the product…
Who comes into a hotel and brings a device that holds your shower? What's next, you bring your own TV because you don't like the remote they have and while you are at it, just bring your own bedsheets and blanket too....what's going on?!
I actually have heard of people bring their own sheets
peter said she needs a shake. nope, she's already been shuc
I legit said the same thing 😂
So sad to see this in a way. You should never loose the perspective, even when you really believe in your ideas.
Lose. Not loose.
She aced her pitch, you gotta give her that
I live in Budapest and i think with Shuc we would be able to triple Hungarys GDP. Its a fantastic product.
For one thing, I very much doubt that ANYONE would want something with big blue letters in their shower. It just doesn't look sleek like it belongs there, it's ugly.
I’ve stayed in hostels, holiday parks and high end hotels all over the world. I’ve never once come across a shower without a shower head holder 😂
I stayed in a hotel once where the lights didn’t work, I now carry a box of spare bulbs everywhere I go
Everytime I wash my dog I wish I had a mount to put the showerhead at a low level while I soap her. She's marketing this wrong.
I’m just dying at how Peter sounded like he was about to give really lovely advice ... “and do you know what? There are people that buy rubbish”. That is so backhanded I can’t 😭😂😂😂
twas savage!!
there was no need for that but i think they have to be brutal as it is a tv show after all
Well, he's not wrong.
Poor thing, I felt bad for her.
Should have gone in with the other uses as the priority, especially homecarers [and disabilities] and it would have seemed a pretty useful and solidly made product. Wouldn't have come across as a piece of crap you expect people to lug around in their rucksacks then.
Back when Peter was getting style tips off the 10th Doctor.
Yes
Brilliant!!!
This is the very first pitch I saw on Dragon's Den. Memories!
The bad guy from Resident Evil 2 has now become an entrepreneur.
I hate when I travel to some city and it doesn't have anywhere to sleep, so I usually bring my own hotel.
You won’t believe the number of hotels where I have stayed and found no sawn-off shotgun in the room.
I wouldn’t dream of going out in my hometown without a sawn-off shotgun, in order for me to hold-up banks, jewellery shops and the like.
But I’m not always able to carry a shotgun with me on all my travels.
If someone could arrange for every hotel / B ‘n B / boarding house to have sawn-off shotguns readily available in the rooms, I’m sure the Dragons would be ready to invest.
James is smirking smiling he can’t help himself 😂😂😂
I have actually had this problem! I travelled to Greece and the Grecian islands kinda frequently when I was younger, and it is true that a fair amount of hotels there don't have shower head holders. And yes, in a shower and not a bath. It's really weird honestly.
I stayed in a hotel that had Shower head holders but no Shower
Thanks for sharing. Head to America and Canada and negotiate licensing agreements. It is also handy if you are in a wheelchair, in a nursing home, elderly home or hospital.
a solution to a problem that does not exist.
she's had 3 instances of bad luck and now she thinks the entire world is suffering from the same problem - I have never had this issue.
am i the only one who thinks these drags were way more savage back in the day in comparison to now?

I think the opposite. The early dragon’s dens had ridiculous pitches and they were relatively easy on them
@@TheJohnCooperShow yeah there was a ton of mental pitches but, doug and young peter could be brutal with some people
Secure the unit to the tiles - what if there are no tiles? Do you bring your own 😂🤣
Yes
Obligatory "lunchtime viewing" comment!
I love me some dragon with me pie and chips!
Dinner time for me!😁
Impressed how Jill kept a straight face.
What if the shower wall tiles are awkwardly sized/spaced and those sucker things are not able to get suction? Plus that thing is too bulky to carry in a suitcase.
Why are you guys re-uploading? I'm 100% sure that I've seen this episode a few months ago
Perhaps on bbc
I don't remember it, but they are reuploading old stuff across other channels. They should be uploading clips from the latest two episodes of DD.
They need that Ad revenue to add to their Net worth.
Different channel.
Don't watch then, just leave.
If you want to tell somebody you hate them without actually saying it, buy them a Shuc.
"There are people that buy rubbish" that line tickled me.
Well I’m certainly SHOOK having heard all that!
You mean SHUC 😂
When I stay in Benidorm none of the hotels have carpet in the rooms. So I always travel with a roll of carpet , underlay , tools and pin strips.
Next time go to Denia... they do have carpets there.
@@guyweisz7811 what else do they have ? I get tired of travelling with a sofa , gas cooker , dining table , washing machine , pool table , dishwasher, tumble dryer , fridge freezer , 60 inch tv. Just encase the room doesn’t have one.
Never got that issue she's trying to solve
'a mixer tap arrangement' 🤣
Love her enthusiasm over a basically useless product
Yes 😂
Yeah because my hand luggage has space to carry one of those on every trip, for the 1% chance I end up in a hotel with that problem!
She really needed some statistics on how common this problem is cause I've never experienced something like this yet alone the Dragons who probably stay at 5* hotels regularly. She didn't think about how to show this is a real problem (if it even is) that needed a solution and that was her downfall.
*LET alone, not yet alone!
N yeah the dragons are loaded so they probably have never stayed in a place like she is talking about and still it's a rubbish business idea.
@@farky42 I'm not loaded and I've never stayed in a place like that, either.
Ron Popeil nailed the gift market. Remember the smokeless ashtray? Smokers wouldn't buy it. I bought one for my dad. He didn't use it after discovering the fan accelerated the burning of the cigarette.
2:22 mins Jill as just finished her pitch and I'm out.
From the looks of the Dragons faces, I think they will be out too.
(Is this the one where Duncan says book into a better hotel)
Ive never in 50 years come across a shower facility with nowhere to put the showerhead

I concluded after watching this that she’s a person who thought an idea and some money were all she needed to create a “business”. Some people are just not meant to have a large amount of money all at once and this is why. She seems like a nice person and she IS intelligent but like Theo said, something went wrong along the way. Good luck lady, genuinely.
Can’t believe Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 invested in this
He bought Wesker one and he loves it.
The children and pets market would have been the better lead... Because even if all hotels in the world lacked a shower head holder...It would not need to be a problem. I mean, why not just shut the shower off whilst shampooing.That's what I do every time bc I pay for every drop of water and anyway I don't see any reason to be wasteful with water. And when the shower is closed it can just hang over the taps until you need it again.
I must have visited at least 50 hotels during the last 10 years, and I have never been in one without a shower head holder. Be it 5 star or a simple motel. She's has created an imaginary problem and is now trying to solve it.
I've seen it in India and that's about it.
