Duncan just seems totally bored this series and I think it’s affecting the programme. Maybe he’d prefer to be back flogging ice creams?

I was a big fan of Richard F and would like to see him back though James Caan also does the “I know what I’m talking about” role well too I reckon. Both James and Richard have the right persona for the show.. they’re aren’t aggressive or confrontational, they can do their sums and you feel that they’ll spot good opportunities.

Theo is alright though he needs to stop saying… “so you want to put my childrens inheritance into this?”. Actually, Theo seems pretty sharp on the old mental arithmetic too.

Ms Meaden continues to get right up my nose. And then some! But then that’s why she’s probably on the show.

I think(!) that’s the second time this series that James has had an offer rebuffed in favour of other Dragons. I guess that’s the drawback of being a new Dragon - people are more drawn to the ones they know. And I’ve not actually seen him explain what he could bring to any deal other than the money whereas the others have previously used their experience in specific sectors to gain leverage in the negotiations. People often want money and also input/help from the Dragons and he seems to be reluctant to offer his own time and skills.

James does usually give a very good analysis of the deal with his probing questions though, so I’d say he’s been a good addition. I’d be happy to see Deborah Meaden or Duncan “This isn’t a business” Bannantyne dropped in favour of a return from Richard Farleigh for the next series.
