Iv always loved the idea of dragons den, a show that helps people take their inventions to the next level, and every episode I always want there to be a great invention so that people will back it and ill hear about it some time in the future. And usually every episode there is a quite good invention, sometimes the dragons offer money to them and sometimes they don’t.
Basically for all those who have never seen the show, the panel of judges if you like, are made up of 5 millionaire, who have made their money through business and know what there talking about. Then into the den, come some new budding entrepreneur who face the panel and try get some money for their invention to try take it to the next level.
Most people seem to ask for around £100000-£200000 so it really is a high budget show. And the millionaire will give this money to the entrepreneur if they feel there invention is good, if they feel they can make a bit of money from it and if the amount of equity is right.
This series one DVD, has all the episodes from the first series across 2 DVDs. This first series contains 6 episodes which run for 360 minutes, so there is quite a lot of viewing for your money as each episode last nearly an hour.

I also think the current series 5 is on TV at the moment so stay tuned for that.
Advantages: Real, Interesting, Funny, Great TV, Lots Of Episodes Disadvantages: No extra features??? Can now watch these for free on "Dave"
