@@craigpardy6204 "Is 'they' singular or plural? They is traditionally a third-person plural pronoun, used to refer to groups of two or more people or things. However, it's also widely used nowadays as a singular pronoun, to refer to an individual person of unknown or nonbinary gender. This usage is referred to as the singular 'they'." So yes, in this case no gender was known/revealed, so 'They' is perfectly acceptable.

[@InTheToilet]

I concur with the dire studio & question the den becoming a poetry slam, all be it fitting with their business. Bartlett getting hard over the monzo guy… tut. Overall a lovely business but I’m a die hard dragons den ultra & it would have been lovely to see Theo furious at the thought of giving a way £1 of his daughters inheritance. It’s a nice business but tonight’s episode lacked a bit of the dragons fire… Chameleons Den. “Dragons are go” Peter… like a scene from the mighty ducks. Still love the show & I smiled then hated myself after. 1% Touker?!

[@inkblaster_12]

I’ve been binging this show for the past fews days and I’ve got to say the newest episodes aren’t that great. Everything looks too happy and bright, I feel like not being able to see the elevator and the dullness of colour in previous seasons gave it a more tense and serious atmosphere which I personally prefer and found more engaging. Also it’s hard to explain but everything now feels so rushed as if they made more cuts and edits than they ever have done which takes away from the suspense. I hope they go back to what the show was like only a few years ago.

[@nathanmorrison1830]

It used to be called “Dragons Den” for a reason. The den was an intimating environment where entrepreneurs entered the den within a tense atmosphere to secure a deal. The dragons were serious and down to business like (there was the occasional sense of humour) but it was very serious and they would criticise you for the slightest mistake. Nowadays, it’s far too happy and far less intimidating, dragons like Sara and Steven make the show seem to happy and innocent and the dragons don’t even feel intimidating anymore, look at Deborah and Peter now to what they were 15 years ago, there’s a big difference. For me, the older episodes are better as you can take them seriously.

[@SamSam-xb1ur]

@@nathanmorrison1830 Duncan was the greatest for his no nonsense approach. There was even someone who started crying and Duncan goes "Yeah, things can only get better from here" and then just carries on what he was saying lol

[@Lommy9999]

How silly is it that in the UK there is this thing called royalty, and they are all in awe of it. Congratulations! You've got royalty! And they all want to be as close as possible to the royals. They were all interested because they mentioned the princess who is invested.

[@homersexual361]

Because they are typically hyper selective on any association directly.

[@alexanderwiles2003]

they dont want to be close as possible to royal its just rare to be invested in by royalty so they were surprised lol (it also highlights that its a charitable cause) most people in the uk are heavily critical of the royal family and being close to them benefits them in no way. if they wanted to hang around royalty they could definitely do it but no one really cares

[@margkropf5541]

Here in Canada we do not have royalty and yet we swear allegiance to it. Being royal means simply being born into privilege. One is not superior simply by virtue of a lucky birth.A perfect example is Prince Andrew.

[@TheEsotericProgrammer]

We've got royalty like a dog has fleas

[@evanslater4551]

Their pitch was lovely but am I the only one who was annoyed by their rhyming?

[@JSSTyger]

5:01 In the theme of Jack and the Beanstalk. Deborah is Jack and Peter is the giant.

Lol nice analogy

[@rinabell6651]

[@xJellyMx]

They weren’t interested in having the dragons on board, for a minimal share they know they’re getting next to no resources from the Dragons, they’re there for the shows exposure.

It really is. It seems to be very Americanised now, especially this series - the oversaturated look (regardless of the colourful attire the couple wore), the clearly phoned in "lets go to the wall and discuss letting go of ONE SINGLE POUND each" - this new look and feel for the show is going to ruin it

[@wardosravin]

You can see the demise of UK society through the evolution of Dragons Den. Debra is so old now she has long lost her snap. Peter has probably had to adjust as his children became older and started bringing home their new opinions. Stephen is a giddy social media mogul and thus epitomises the modern day entrepeneurs. All in all a shit-show, just like the show.

[@erhhsdhh2099]

The show is way softer now than it used to be, what was this. This showed that anyone can literally wing it and get an investment. Dragons Den with the lineup of Peter, Theo, Duncan, James and Deborah was the absolute prime, and if you got an investment in that era, you knew your idea was good

[@jempro1674]

I dont get it. Can someone explain like I'm a 5 year old. Thanks.

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

They gave away a small part of their business for the potential of help and connections from all of the 5 dragons. They are not actually dragons, they just pretend to be (since you are 5 years old).

[@lucascookson41]

Free books for schools, families, teachers, parents! They received funding from investors including someone from Monzo bank and a Princess! They only want £1 for 1% as they want the connections the dragons have to share the knowledge of the books and to encourage reading!
