A clip from that episode
Thanks Jamie....hadn't thought to look for that.
There might be a full episode lurking around on YT somewhere.
I daren't get on youtube this early in the evening.
Yep. Those Russian driving vids will take up your evening.
For me YouTube is one of the very best outcomes of the internet
Love it!
I agree !
Me too, better than Facebook and Twitter.
Silly name though. Sounds like a Scottish insult.
I have watched the canadian dragons den on justin tv on the net also sharks tank. I'm sure you can catch up on one of the freeview channels for the british one.

You are financially incompetent Duncan and for that reason I'm out
I don't like Ballantyne. Find him arrogant and miserable. Actually the only dragons I have liked over the years are no longer on it.
I admire her forthright manner, but as with that woman who used to co-present the TV morning programme, you'd think that even a tiny amount of cash could have been spent on sorting out a face that is looking more and more like an old sack of potatoes.
Oh, and the presenter.
...On loan from Spitting Image ?
He must be the second dragon to go bust.. Rachel Elnaugh lost all her cash too with her business "Red letter day"..
Wikpedia says...
Following five investments over the first two seasons of the show, a result of disputes with various Dragons[clarification needed] (Jones, Paphitis and Duncan Bannatyne),[3] and the resulting uncomfortable position of the BBC if it allowed a perceived "failed" businesswoman to be on a business panel, she agreed to leave the "Dragons' Den" panel.
So in that case, Bannatyne should also be sacked by the BBC..Or he should fall on his sword IMO.

Good stuff Fred
Just goes to show that these 'experts' get it wrong frequently. Similar to football I suppose where a player can get released from a club early on in his career because he's deemed to be not good enough then goes on to play for his country later on.
As for Ballantyne, he's got too much of an ego to fall on his sword.
Hmm....I might re-submit my handy gardening multi-tool then.

I've got a few inventions too. Maybe I should go on DD with one of these.
haha.
Actually, that wheelchair one looks a really good idea.
