The way I understand the title of that show, I thought it's a kiddie adventure show.

Its compelling viewing; the 'Dragons' are investing their own money, so they take no crap from the people pitching

Yeah its a great show, but the dragons don't seem to be investing as much as they used to now.

Its a great show, but some of the ideas / inventions they are trying to get funding for are ridiculous which I suppose adds to the show.

Someone came up with a tv coffee table. That guy got served by the dragons, almost looked like he was about to cry.

The problem with the Dragon's Den is the editing they do. It's hard to get a good idea of what's really going on. I saw a thread on some business forum by someone that was on the show in the first series. The Dragon's ripped into his business idea. Apparently he gave back as good as he got but they edited it all out and made him look like a fool.

Some of the ideas are absolutely bloody stupid though. Also, the presentations are terrible. I saw class mates back in school give better presentations than a lot of these people.

I do like it though. Richard Farleigh is an interesting guy. He seems to know his stuff.
