Quite saddened to see so many people disliking the new Dragons! I've really enjoyed this series and quite like the dynamics between Touker, Sarah, Nick, Deborah and Peter. I think this is the first time I've looked forward to watching since Hilary left.
Glad there are still 3 episodes to go until series end, I was a little sad when I looked on iPlayer and saw there was no episode from Sunday- thought it had finished already! The only parts of the show that bother me now are Evan (he's great as a voiceover but we don't really need his introductions) and the previews (both for "still to come" and "next time"). It makes the show so much more interesting not knowing what's coming at all. I find the previews spoil it a bit. I also can't shake the feeling that if we got rid of the previews and Evan's introductions we'd have room for at least another pitch each episode. That might just be me though.

^ I agree about the previews issue. I'd much rather just watch episodes unfold normally. It reminds me of US shows where they keep showing excerpts every couple of minutes!
Although I do miss older dragons like Duncan, I'm perfectly fine with the new additions.

They each have their own 'sector' and stick to it. Unless there's something that is an easy no-brainer, they don't step on each others' toes. Peter does technology, Deborah does leisure and environmental, Nick does internet, Touker does manufacturing and retail, and Sarah does food. In the past, Dragons like James, Duncan and Theo did seem to like to take a punt on something a little more out of their comfort zones, which doesn't tend to happen any more, they all want something easy with little effort apart from being able to use their contacts to open a few doors. Only Peter can be a little unpredictable these days. |

i hate beans, so i'm out, this looks an expensive alternative to baked beans, a fad, something you would buy to try but its probably twice the price over Heinze
