I missed like 15 minutes of today's ep, but it seemed like some guy wanted money to make a wiiware game.

Nobody should be payed to make games for the Wii.

First thing (that you missed) was a whiteboard made of something like paper that could stick to walls and glass and stuff. They invested £100,000 for 40%.

Why do those two always invest together?

yoou know why!

They all have underlying partnerships in some business I'm sure. Most tend to stick to partnerships with select Dragons I've noticed, James and Duncan for example.

Also noticed they are getting more ballsy in upping the % they want.

Holy crap!

Meaden invested in something!

Didn't see it, but i can only assume that she was a total cow.

What I want to know is how the hell do they manage all these buisness? They always say they will put a lot of time into their investment. Where the strawberry float do they get the time.

They'll have PA's that do all the actual work, and they'll just go around sitting in meetings and telling others what to do.

The fact is, the dragons probably only get the company through the closed doors to retailers and point out to the inventor what is wrong with what they are doing and how to fix it. The work is all done by the inventor.

They really need to mix the running order up. Every show so far this series has seen an offer made for one of the first 3 pitches, and then the last one too. Too predictable.

I'd like to know some more about the WiiWare fellow.

It would be cheaper to buy that Wii Music and it looked a lot better too.

I quite like Dragon's Den, but it's another example of the growing trend of hour long programmes that could actually be done in half an hour.

The best, and most acute, example of this is Deal Or No Deal, a game which I estimate could actually be completed in about 5 minutes.

Deal or No Deal is a flawed TV programme. Once someone deals the TV show is effectivly over. The charade they then go through, choosing boxes as they are the ones the contestant 'would' have chosed had they not dealt is pathetic.

I disagree, I always feel like wanting more dragons den when the hour is over.
