Advantages: Blumin' great telly!

Disadvantages: Nothing!...ok maybe it's slightly unrealistic at times.

So another series has just finished of one of my most loved shows on TV. Dragons Den is somewhat like a reality show , business men and women and inventors all come and pitch their ideas to the Dragons seeking massive investment and get criticised and interrogated in the process. The dragons are... Peter Jones, Deborah Meadon, Duncan Bannatyne, James Caan and Theo Paphities, all of which are extremely successful entrepeneurs themselves.

So the general idea of the show is that they sit like a pannel of judges amid piles of their own cash and listen to and watch presentations from potential businesses they could invest in. Even though it is quite a reality show format, I have found the show to be quite educational on the nusiness world, good tips and advice are always offered.

However theres the other side of this program and it is the total hopeless eejits that come in unprepared asking for extortionate amounts of money, this is where the show gets really juicy when the dragons really get their claws out and rip into the peoples ideas and business plans. This show makes my boyfriend cringe (not to mention Peter Jones' new show American Inventor) and he regurlarly shouts at the screen with disgust, I advise watching it with a sense of fun...and someone who doesn't get annoyed at how harsh the dragons are also ;p

Summary: Brilliant show...TV gold!
