Dragons Den 09
Discussion
New series starting tonight, usually good for a laugh!
Wednesday 15 July
9:00pm - 10:00pm

1/8
As they embark on their seventh series, the Dragons face a new peril. Not panting entrepreneurs with dodgy business plans, but a worse threat - obsolescence. With the economy shrinking and Gerry Robinson throwing struggling firms a lifeline over on Channel 4, the red-blooded, impress-me venture capitalism of the Dragons could start to look out of touch, even a bit tasteless. Sir Alan Sugar adapted to the recession by making the most recent series of The Apprentice more touchy-feely - will the Dragons tame their fire-breathing, too? Preview DVDs weren't available, so we'll have to hope that the formula proves as watchable as ever and that Evan Davis's singsong recaps don't finally send us screaming from the room. In the end, it's hard to argue with the value of a show that has invested more than six million pounds so far in new ventures. Ideas the hopefuls will pitch tonight include eco-friendly patio heaters, cat-friendly collars, personalised romance novels and a hat that seems to make your wrinkles disappear.

As mentioned, the heat wave thing at the beginning was a bit weird, but still enjoyable enough.
He says it will work with mobiles, I wonder how that will work, it's a big thing to carry round with you 
For it to be fitted in a hard wire phone you would still have to spend a fair bit on a new phone. good idea are
BT phones on the decrease with mobiles getting cheaper. Mate of mine has taken his BT phone out of his business because he wasn't using it and nearly everyone phone him on the mobile.
