Anyone watch this show? I just started watching it recently and I’m completely hooked on this show. For those that don’t know, there are 5 investors who collectively are worth about half a billion pounds. (the show is from England) Entrepreneurs come to them with their businesses, and try to get investments so that they can expand the company and in return offer a stake in the company. Now, I don’t know how “real” it all is. But some of the businesses on there are pretty damn good, and pretty damn awful. Either way, the advice the “Dragons” give is sometimes really interesting. Actually a lot of it is funny when they bash the persons ideas haha. If you’ve never watched the show, I suggest you give it a shot. I DVR every episode and watch them when I can. > **[Dragons' Den - BBC Two](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006vq92)** > > Entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to millionaires willing to invest their own cash. ---

BBC America is the network name for us. I’m not sure where you are located so I couldn’t tell you what channel it’s on. ---

Well I know the proposals are real. I just didn’t know for sure if the investments all went through. I actually just read through the “Where are they now” section of the website and it seems like a lot of times when someone gets an investment, it falls through shortly after. ---
