Fans of Dragons’ Den express nostalgia for earlier seasons, wishing for a return to the show’s original charm and honesty
London: So, the latest season of Dragons’ Den kicked off, and it’s got people talking. The usual suspects—Peter, Deborah, Sara, Steven, and Touker—are back on the BBC.
New entrepreneurs are hoping to impress the Dragons and snag some investment for their cool ideas, especially in fitness and health.
But right from the start, some viewers jumped on social media, saying they really miss the old days of the show. You know, when it was all about the quirky inventions and honest feedback.
One viewer even said they don’t like the new Guest Dragons. They miss the straightforwardness of the past. It seems like some folks think the show has become too nice and polished.
One tweet read: “We miss the old Dragons’ Den! Back then, they would’ve told someone how silly it was to sell their house for a pitch.”
Another viewer chimed in, calling the new format “over-produced” and “patronising.” They feel like the show has lost its edge over the years.
And then there’s the chatter about the new Guest Dragons. People are saying they want the old-school charm back, with all the quirky gadgets and honest critiques.
On the flip side, fitness guru Joe Wicks and style expert Trinny Woodall are joining the panel this season. Joe’s excited to meet the entrepreneurs and share his journey.
He’s all about hard work and the right mindset, which is great, but fans still seem to long for the rawness of earlier seasons.
Dragons’ Den airs Thursdays at 8 PM on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, so if you’re curious, tune in and see what all the fuss is about!
