What happened with the wood block people ? I missed a vital bit

They dropped a bit of info in after 4 Dragons were out leaving Peter to scoop it upconfused

I know they got their offer though.

I've been a bit bored this series too. Peter is still alright, Duncan is getting very miserable and nasty, he doesn't even wish anybody luck just rubishes their businesses and seldom invests. Debra has always been annoying and seems to just want high equity in everything. Hilary is a breath of fresh air but no-one seems to take up her offers. Theo still sits ok in the middle.

I thought it strange that the dog treats woman went with Deborah's higher % than Hilarys lower one. Personally I'd prefer to work with Hilary.

Had to laugh at last weeks when the announcer said something along the likes of "and Deborah is looking impressed" when it cut to her and she's just rolling her thumb and looking miserable as usual wink

I thought that too. Didn't make sense......Deborah wanted 40% to Hilary's 30% with the same financial input.

Same here! I think perhaps the treats woman had knowledge of Deborah's involvement in the industry but, so too did Hilary. I know whom I would pick.

I'm sure in the beginning it was more about giving regular people with an interesting idea a chance to pitch it in return for investment and guidance.

Now they seem to want a water tight plan, provinance and someone who knows figures and business terminology. You might as well just take out a bank loan.

I have only caught glimpses of this series, but my general feeling is that there should be some new Dragons.
They have gotten too big for their boots, and gang up on the mere mortals pitching if someone questions one of the dragons.
it is a shame, but has killed the programme now that it is about "teaching a lesson" rather than "investing / contributing"
At the very least they could have guest dragons.

I think it's getting a bit long in the tooth now. The producers should mix the editing up a bit as every episode follows the same path of who gets investment eg the last person of the show. It gets very predicable. Also the dragons seem to be splitting the investment between two of them more and more instead of haggling over equity. It's too much of the same thing for me and have taken the series link off sky as its no longer 'interesting viewing' for me.

I think they should offer Duncan a new contract - £20 a series - just so we could hear him say for one final time "I'm out".

He's a grumpy old sod, obnoxious, and rarely invests anyway.

As it stands at the moment if I was pitching, my preference of investor in descending order would be:

Hilary
Duncan
Walk away
Theo
Peter
Satan
Hitler
Bin Laden
Hussein
George W Bush
Harriet Harperson
Deborah Meaden
