They own drcap.co.uk and it has a site on it... well almost

The website is worse than the name, what a joke and a HUGE marketing opportunity missed. Even if they hadn't got the funding, their web stats will be up for sure and all they have is a site "under construction".

I love this programme, the demos never work and some of the people live in cloud cuckoo land.

I have met one of the Dragons in person a few times!

I know someone who has pitched on the den... but was ripped to pieces!

Before the show went out we made sure the Website was spot on. It took a real hammering afterwards and she done well out of just appearing.

She also got a nice offer from someone who did think it was a good idea

We sold softpaws co.uk to a guy who appeared recently, but the dragons soon dismissed him and his product.

There was a classic the other day, the one who thought his company owned a plane but it was him renting it or something.

Best program on the telly. I wish it was 2hrs long so we could see all the others getting mauled.

It would be nice if they also did a follow up program for some of the ones who didn't get backing but went on to do their thing anyway.

This springs to mind:
Destination London

And what happened to the guy last year that developed the wee thing that sits in the toilet and uses only a 3rd of water a normal flush uses. He got bombed off. I bet the water companies and local councils will be interested now, given the water shortage. And I bet the normal householder will be interested when the waterboard install meters in everyones home.

Always makes me laugh when they use the 'your valuations way' off BS on the ideas they are interested in...

Better still, is when someone wises up and puts them on the back foot...
