There’s a faintly sinister moment tonight when a pair of entrepreneurs ask two of the Dragons if they would be prepared to join forces. Before they decide, Duncan Bannatyne and Hilary Devey look at each other with all the warmth and charm of praying mantises poised to mate. It’s one of several spiky moments in one of the best den-visits to date.
There’s comedy (a man selling wearable luggage), there’s conflict (“Revolting and ridiculous,” splutters Bannatyne of Deborah Meaden) and there’s that thing Dragons’ Den does amazingly well: making dry business details about stockholding and run-rate into riveting TV.
About this programme
3/12. A horror writer gets a surprising reaction after he tries to scare the Dragons into backing him, and two Mancunian sisters who met with rejection when they appeared on the show in 2005 get a second chance to impress the panel. Duncan Bannatyne, Hilary Devey, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis also pass judgement on pitches for children's backpacks, wearable luggage and an unusual vending machine. Presented by Evan Davis.
