Who the Hell is the producer of DD?
Why do the Dragons ALWAYS wear the same clothes in EVERY episode? I know it is all filmed in one block (one day?) but FFS we are not stupid. We do notice they always wear the same jeans, blouse... So so lazy production. |

Do they really film them in one day? It's more likely they film them in one week. If they edit different investments from different days or times into one single episode then the Dragon's are not seen with different hair styles, clothes etc in one episode.
If I was a rich dragon filming throughout the week, I would not wear the same clothes every day - unless the Producer demanded it, for continuity reasons. But that is a stupid decision. What benefit is there to have the dragons wear the same stripy socks over a period of episodes that span 20 weeks? |

Don't know how many they film in a day, but every episode of this series (and the previous series) ALL dragons have been wearing exactly the same clothes.

What benefit is there to have the dragons wear the same stripy socks over a period of episodes that span 20 weeks? Each pitch must take up a couple of hours or so at least by the time it's all set-up etc. I can't see them doing more than say three a day. Surely the clothing aspect is simply to allow them to compile each show from (say) a couple of week's worth of filming, so that it has a in interesting mix of products, investments/non-investments, arguments etc. You wouldn't get a suitable 'flow' if it was all shown in the order it was filmed - you might not get anyone investing for three weeks! I can't say I've ever really noticed what the Dragons wear. At least they've moved the editing away from the rigid set-up where the last pitch (and often the second) in each show was *always* an investment.

What they probably need is something like a concession unit in a big London department store, rather than a standalone shop.

Wow, steep offer from Touker, write off the money owed.
![]() ![]() Both the watches and brownies sound like short-term trends to me. Maybe some interest initially but it will probably dwindle when the novelty wears off. We'll see, maybe I am wrong. The tent one was also confusing. So was Nick not right in saying it was equivalent to a limited licensing deal? How do you handle other people doing the same thing in other places? It just seemed a bit of a naff deal. Also Peter trying to jump in with another version of the offer for the other company made no sense. It appeared that was only owned by one of the guys anyway and he was not remotely interested in investment for it. What was the point when Deborah was willing to invest in the actual thing they were asking for investment in? I can only presume that he thinks everyone will be so keen on working with him that they will bend over backwards. |

). They get miffed if they think the entrepreneur will split his time across two businesses, despite the fact that the dragons do exactly that themselves with multiple businesses and investments.

Just finished the ep. I don't like brownies and or slash chocolate much, so obvs they wouldn't get an investment from me. Wetherspoons do bacon and maple syrup so you're 'well not with it' Touker. He's probably my least favourite dragon ever too so I'll be avoiding their business like the plague (I'm sure they'll be devastated). I'm really beginning to dislike Peter Jones this series. He was always one of my faves but he's becoming unbearable.

Peters face was priceless when he said that. These dragons think the whole business world revolves around them. That was a nice slap in the face for them.

That's why it annoys me so much on Bake Off and The Apprentice when people rant "Oh my gosh I can't believe she just rolled her eyes at her! What a b*tch!" People shouldn't be so naive thinking that was literally just then the person did it! That could have been caught on camera weeks ago but the producers thought it fitted in nicely/looks entertaining to show it right after another contestant said something. |

Feeling a bit jaded with this show. Used to like it but am getting a bit tired of loosers peddling tripe and patronising (albeit sussesful) dragons. Time to go and have a snooze, I think!

So so lazy production. You assume wrongly it is all filmed on one day , since each pitch can take hours reduced to the section we see , it will be several days at least, they wouldn't want clothes changing between pitches on the same broadcast episode. Sadly even after watching TV for decades , it appears the obvious needs to be pointed out to some people. |

So why isn't the show on this week then (7-Feb-2016)? Or is it the end of the series?
(I only have two shows on series-record on my PVR, this one and Room 101. Both have already been messed about with over the last few weeks with each missing one week's episode, which I only find out about when I sit down to watch it and it's not there! I'm not very pleased! Why can't they drop some other shows for a change?) |
