Dragons' Den returned last night. What did the reviewers - and you - think? And who is your favourite Dragon?
The Guardian's Sam Wollaston was delighted:
"Ah, good news: the return of Dragons' Den (BBC2), the show that brings out everyone's inner sadist. A new batch of hapless victims is tossed in to the den. They stand there shaking, fumbling their lines and jumbling their figures - suddenly forgetting who they are, what their idea is, and the difference between turnover and profit. The dragons roll their eyes and shake their heads, and keep their hands firmly in their pockets. They're a rotten lot, five really unpleasant human beings. Do they hate each other, I wonder, as much as they seem to hate everything else? Who's the worst? I used to think it was the snarling, charmless Duncan Bannatyne. Now I think Deborah Meaden is giving him a run for his fortune. She's so rude, and sour, and joyless. And she never seems to invest in anyone. I wonder if she's happy."
The Times' Ian Johns said:
"Dragon's (sic) Den was back to dismember anyone with a dodgy concept or woolly way with figures. The producers must have known that someone pitching the idea of a right-handed glove to help motorists abroad would end in a bloodbath."
