BBC Dragon's Den fans frustrated by social media clash

Dragon's Den fans were left frustrated tonight as they discovered a social media clash.

Tonight's show was comprised of some of the best bits of the programme from the past 15 years.

People took to social media as usual to comment on the events of the show as it aired on BBC2.

But they were quick to realise a version of Dragon's Den was also showing in the Netherlands at the same time as many people started to tweet in Dutch, using the hashtag #dragonsden.

This meant that viewers who were following the same hashtag had their timelines filled with Dutch tweets, making it hard for them to follow people's opinions of the show airing on the BBC.

And they commented on social media about the annoying clash.

Sherlock O Moys said: "Evidently #dragonsden is also on with our friends in Holland."

Mrs Baileys said: "We've had a submarine. Beat that Dutch people."

And another said: "Those bloody Dutch are at it again (kissing emoji)"

Tonights show in the UK featured pitches from a submarine company and for a Skinny Tan, among others.

The Skinny Tan product had the dragons arguing, as they all fought to become investors as they discovered the product's success in Australia.
