Dragon's Den is Britain's answer to a bored afternoon watching Dave. Today I'm watching the Canadian version, the intro has showered my attention with how much money the Dragons earn, how big their property is, how many cattle they own. Immediately I missed Peter Jones' introduction of how he built a multimillion dollar empire in telecommunications.
The first 'what seemed to be a contestant' came on asking the Dragons if they liked baseball. He was rude, in your face, interrupting and unprofessional. He was asked questions about money but he kept asking them if they like baseball and saying he wanted their money. Then he said they asked the wrong questions! MAD
Then we had a vending machine selling water that would sit next to water fountains! MAD
The set looks awful, the make-up is too thick, the woman presenting doesn't connect as well as Evan Davis, and her voice cuts in at weird points during the presentations.
So far not so good, it's just human bear-baiting.
On the other hand, I do like hearing the odd Canadian accent, especially when they say 'I'm AA-OO-T'. I do love Canada by the way!
