If you have never seen Dragons Den, its a television series which first hit our screens in 2005. It is hosted by Evan Davis. The idea of the show is for budding entrepreuners to bring an idea or invention to a group of millionaires and ask for funding to promote, expand or advertise their business.

The "Dragons" are the millionaires who part with their own hard earned cash to the entrepreneurs if they think an idea will make a good profit.

They include Duncan Bannatyne, Peter Jones, James Caan, Debra Meaden and Theo Paphitis. All of these people are very rich and highly successfull business people who built up their fortunes to millions.

The Dragons arent afraid to say what they think and wont be swayed into handing over money if they hear a sob story. They grill those who come into the Den and take no mercy.

The rules state that the person pitching the idea must leave with all the money they have asked for from one or more of the Dragons or they go away with nothing.

For the funding, they will offer a percentage of equity of their business to the Dragons they are doing the deal with. Most of the time, the person making the pitch will have to forfeit a bigger percentage of their business than they would have liked. If a Dragon isnt interested in a deal, they will declare themsleves "out".

This is a brilliant and really entertaining programme and i try to watch it anytime that i can. I recommend it to anyone and think that if you havent seen it before, you should definitely check it out!

Summary: Watch it
