Tycoon(2007)

Tycoon is a British reality competition series that aired on ITV in 2007, hosted by entrepreneur Peter Jones. The show follows ambitious business hopefuls pitching their ideas to Jones, who mentors the most promising contestants toward launching profitable ventures. The public votes to determine the winner, who receives Jones's backing and support. Uniquely, viewers could win a share of the winning company's profits through a parallel competition. Despite its strong premise, Tycoon struggled with ratings and was rescheduled from its original Tuesday 9pm slot to Monday nights at 10pm, where it was also trimmed from six episodes to five and cut to 30 minutes per episode. Iain Morgan ultimately won the series, which concluded in July 2007.
