Summary
Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Sarah Willingham and Nick Jenkins take their seats as a fresh batch of entrepreneurs prepare to give them the elevator pitch of a lifetime. In this episode, an entrepreneur gets emotional when pitching her language teaching for kids, a businessman with a security device for patio doors tries to lock in some Dragon cash and a couple with an innovative device for the hard of hearing get short shrift when they discuss their business set-up. Finally, one half of a duo behind a soup range enters the Den, but with his business partner too camera shy to face the Dragons, will he be able to withstand their interrogation alone?
Review
Dragons’ Den does the business for BBC2. Competing with heavyweights like Endeavour and Antiques Roadshow, it still gets well over two million viewers. Those are the kind of numbers the last series of Top Gear managed in the same Sunday-night slot – with a tyre-scorchingly larger production budget.
Dragons’ Den is just five people in chairs, but for a programme about cash flow and profit margins, it gets surprisingly emotional – and involving. Why? Because so many of the entrepreneurs seem like good people whom we’d like to see succeed. Tonight they include a laid-back inventor from Yorkshire, an over-optimistic language teacher from Durham and a likeable soup-maker from Somerset. Good luck to them…
