Dragon's Den

[islasmum]

When is the new dragon Hilary (can't remember her surname) going to wear something that is not a black shirt with the same old white jacket? And could Peter Jones find anything that goes less with a striped blue shirt than a goldy/greeny/bronze tie and hanky? Apart from that I'm enjoying the new series, which I think is more than Duncan Ballantyne is doing! Does anyone know how many potential business partners they see in a day?

[mrs_overall]

Mr O is convinced that Hilary is really a bloke in drag

[boxtops]

She's certainly brought a different angle into the Den, I like her - but that jacket with the huge shoulders is ridiculous.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Every picture I see of her proves that money does not buy good taste.

[fliptheswitch]

Yes, she does look a bit... er... manly. I'm convinced that hair is a wig. It looks so synthetic. And don't get me started on that blimmin jacket! Oh, and I reckon she's had a face lift.

Ohh, I love a good bitch! Haha

[Ratty2E]

I recon if she ditched that appalling jacket and got a decent more flattering hair do she could look more like a woman and less like a transvestite that got dressed in the dark.

[boxtops]

I can't say I disagree about her looks, but I do admire her - she's recovered from a serious stroke and is a very successful businesswoman.

[fliptheswitch]

Hahaha! Oh that was funny :-))

I just haven't warmed to her. I like 'debs' too much. She'll always come second to my lovely Theo though.

[AlBags]

Gotta be better than Deborah Peedon though .. any day!

[fliptheswitch]

Ah, I like 'Debs'. She's ruthless!

[boxtops]

She doesn't call a spade a spade, quite so straight as Hilary does!

[mrs_overall]

My fave is Theo Profiterole

[boxtops]

LOL mrs O, his surname was a crossword answer today, I couldn't think of the name - that's it!

[fliptheswitch]

Hahaha @ Profiterole.

He's my fave too. I remember watching a short series about all five dragons, where they followed them around in their day to day lives. Theo was a right chav, eating McDonalds and wearing trackies! He's brill.

[boxtops]

Peter was on Never Mind the Buzzcocks a couple of weeks ago, that was a surprise.

[fliptheswitch]

Oh, I missed that. He's quite nice... in a handsome kinda way.

[saxy_jag]

I'm beginning to have more and more respect for Hilary. I've found out that as well as being a single parent and dealing with heroine addicted teenager, she is head of a national logistics company (a tough business if ever there was one) and had a stroke a couple of years ago that left her paralysed in her left arm and with no peripheral vision.

Her looks belie her. I think she's a very warm, commonsense individual with more than a little heart.

[masma]

I was going to put a question on earlier but didn't so I'll join in here..... How many people do they see in one day? I ask because, for all of this series they've all worn the same clothes in every episode.

[jack daniels]

her name is Hilary Devey but we like to call her Cruella De Ville ha ha!

Anna x

[masma]

We also call her Cruella - had to laugh when she said she's a dog lover...

[Tizzi24]

I like Hilary, but agree that she could do with a makeover!

My favourite is Peter.

Usually in these sort of shows, they film about 6 episodes at once.
