Ninja In The Dragon's Den (DVD)

Will you make it out of the Dragons' Den with your dignity intact

Advantages: Great show, variety of judges with different personalities, great presenting and narration.
Disadvantages: None

Dragons Den is shown on BBC2 and has five judges who are Theo Paphitis, James Caan, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones & Duncan Bannatyne who between them are worth over 1 billion pounds. The show is hosted by Evan Davis. The concept of the show is very well thought out but also quite simple. Entrepreneurs will enter the Dragons Den, have a quick chat with Evan Davis to explain what they are producing or what their idea is and then they will be sent through to the Dragons' Den. They will pitch their product or service to the Dragons and then they will ask for a certain amount of cash for a percentage stake in their company. It is then up to the Dragons to ask questions about their product or service and test things out and advise whether or not they think the product or service is viable and then they will say whether they want to purchase ...

Review of Dragons Den

The wrath of the dragons

Advantages: Makes great viewing
Disadvantages: YOu don't get to see what goes on after the offer, how true to life it is is questionable

Profiles of the Dragons can be found on the official website http://www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden/thedragons/theo.shtml. My opinion Equity investment is raising funds through selling shares in your company and no ...

Review of Dragons Den

If this is on...I'm In!

Advantages: Highly entertaining programme, gives entrepreneurs exposure and potential investment
Disadvantages: Peter Jones

Many TV shows start to lose their appeal after several series but Dragon's Den has recently finished its seventh series and every episode is every bit as enjoyable as the last. In fact, this show is probably my favourite programme as it continues to entertain, amuse and enthrall me week after week. Dragon's Den is generally shown on BBC2 and previous series are almost constantly repeated over on Dave, so anybody who hasn't yet fallen in love with the series can see what they've been missing. The concept of the show is, as with most successful programmes, very simple but totally engaging. Members of the public are invited into the den to 'pitch' a business idea and ask for investment from the five 'Dragons', who are expected to use their own personal fortune to fund this if the deal does go ahead. The actual Dragons themselves ...
