I think all the dragons other than Duncan are absolutely hateable characters. Jones has taken a particularly mean turn in recent episodes and has an air of arrogance that surrounds him.
I'm also quite sick of the dragons taking the piss with the share of the company they want.
People coming in with a decent idea, only asking for £50K and then getting 40%+ offers. I mean they should haggle, sure, but they often don't. It's a bit exploitative, imo. It seems in the earlier series they were giving £150K+ for much smaller shares. They rarely got to the 40% that I've seen offered recently.
I think all the inventors should now come in with equally ridiculous valuations. Go low, £100K for 5% of the company regardless of projections. f
k 'em.

I'd say Hilary is the nicest, so down to earth and friendly, but just don't take the piss or you'll regret it. I'm also quite sick of the dragons taking the piss with the share of the company they want.

Exploitative? It's not a charity and the people pitching are supposed to be running a business. They're always free to tell them to stuff their offer.

Possibly not the thread for this, but old misery guts Bannatyne has had a suspected heart attack. Hope he gets well soon.
