DRAGONS DONE
Having summarily dismissed all property shows from my viewing schedule last year, I am fearful that I'm now growing tired of Dragons' Den. It's not just that during this week's episode I was able to correctly predict when Evan's "In a bizarre twist" voice-over was about to commence, but I found it difficult to get at all interested in any of the pitches. Each one seemed to go on too long, and the concepts the visitors to the Den were proposing just weren't very inventive. In fact, by half way through I'd started reading the latest issue of Radio Times instead.
Mind you, I thought new Dragon James Caan was a smooth operator, but all in all is this yet another series that has outlived its shelf life?
Oh, and while I'm here, the result of The Restaurant was a travesty.

Love him or loathe him (and I loathed him), Jeremy was the superior cook. The twins fare would be a bit pedestrian for Raymond, sadly.
As for the Den, I gave up last time. It's so laboured now as to be boring us to death.

Re: The Restaurant, my feeling is simply that Raymond wouldn't ever really want to be associated with a place selling lamb burgers. Brown and Green was never in the running.
Still loving Dragon's Den though. Particularly when Peter's describing himself as super good-looking and wealthy.

I kind of agree with Graham, I think there was more substance to Jeremy's efforts than the twins, whom I felt were all about showboating with their bloody can-can and their Early Twirly menu.
I'm also still enjoying Dragons' Den - I wouldn't argue that there's a certain Den-ness to the hopefuls, but I think that set in fairly early on. But I loved Theo's sheer indignance at the appearance of the annoying anarcho-beef jerky combine, and the lookylikey bloke ("that's another £10,000 of my childrens' inheritance - whaddya gonna do with it!?").

Well I just thought Jeremy was really inflexible, narrow minded and totally unsupportive of his forever crying wife. Anyway, on a related note, can anyone explain away the additional bits of footage shown at the end of each episode of the current run of Hell's Kitchen: USA?
