TV show that helped failing businesses?

[business guru]

I'm looking for the name of a tv series that was on a couple of years ago, that had a guy that went round saving a failing businesses in each programme.

It was on for 1 hour at about 8pm. I think it was on channel 4 or 5, its not Gordon Ramsey or the Hotel Inspector!

If anyone remembers, please let me know it will be much appreciated.

Nah not make me a million, the guy is an entrepreneur/millionaire himself.

I think it was called 'Mind Your Own Business' on BBC 2, presented by Duncun Bannatyne. There was 24 episodes, but I can't find any episode listings.

There was one done by a Scottish guy, but not Duncan Bannatyne. I only saw two or three episodes - hairdresser and a pub/restaurant.

Peter Jones did one called Tycoons.

I think it was called Tricky Business presented by John Boyle.

You could be thinking of "Risking it All" on Channel 4. It was presented by Martin Webb

The other guy was Alasdair Jeffrey of Rocket Science http://uk.linkedin.com/in/alasdairjeffrey

Don't think this has been mentioned yet, but it could have been...

"The Ferocious Mr Fix-it"

It was on BBC3, and was about a young-ish Scottish bloke (in his 40's I'd say) who was a Mr Fix-It for failing businesses. He wasn't that ferocious though...

Can't help the OP but wow there are a lot of programmes i've missed!

I like Gerry Robinson but I thought Gerrys Big Decision was a bit disappointing following the superb Can Gerry Fix the NHS programme.

Duncan Bannatyne's book is good if anyone likes him.
