BBC One - The Customer Is Always Right, Series 1, Episode 7

Customers unbox, test and score three new products to decide today’s winner.

Customers unbox, test and score a machine to avoid bringing dirt indoors, a baby food blender and a fast drying towel. But only one can win the Customer is Always Right trophy.

Three entrepreneurs come together to discover what our customers think of their precious products.  They’re nervous, but ready to watch the customers unboxing, testing and giving their feedback on what they like, dislike and what they think could be improved for each invention.  

In today’s episode, we meet Sam, Chris and Res, all hoping to get a high score from our customers to become today’s winner.

Sam is a serial entrepreneur and is always looking for the next big thing.  He’s hoping that he’s onto a winner with his Sole Wrap, a machine which wraps feet in plastic to avoid bringing dirt and mud indoors. He hopes this will be an alternative to the blue overshoe bags. Father-of-two Chris is passionate about children eating healthy food, especially at an early age, so he’s developed and produced the Itsy Blitz, a portable mini baby food blender with bowl and spoon. And Res has invented a fast-drying towel that he hopes will be a game changer in the towel market.
