Well, our beloved Dragons' Den is back on the box!
Apologies if you think my title a little disrespectful but I hope I'm not as rude as I first appear. In fact donkeys are really rather intelligent creatures and just like the millionaire entrepreneurs, are more than a little stubborn and very likely to administer a good hard kick when backed into a corner.
But donkeys do have a way about them that's a bit... well... should I say goofy and this is exactly how I see the programmes investors. In the early series the dragons came across as hard nosed business folk there in the main to make astute financial investments. Today however the dragons seem more interested in the amount of quick quips and cheesy puns they can trot out in the hour long show than the potential investment opportunities.
Don't get me wrong, I do really enjoy the show still, mainly because of the plethora of ridiculous business ideas brought to the den by some of the dumbest people. But for me, Dragons' Den has become just another reality game-show, this time with ridiculously rich donkeys on the one side and mainly hopeless asses on the other.
