Transcript
Why do some brilliant business ideas come a cropper? I'm Sean Farrington, and in a new series of Toast, I'll be looking at five more brands, businesses and wonder products, which offered a lot but didn't stick around, including a budget cinema selling tickets for 20 pence and the toilet paper we knew from school. I remember worrying about getting paper cuts in an area that you wouldn't wish to be getting a paper cut. Finding out what we can learn from their disappearance. Toast from BBC Radio 4. Listen first on BBC Sounds.
