Dragon's Den

I like Dragon's Den.

My reason is: it's the only programme in the entire BBC ouvre that looks positively at the business of making money.

And don't give me The Apprentice: that whole programme is edited with the purpose of making today's world of business seem entirely cut-throat and nasty1
A man is never so innocently engaged as in the pursuit of money (Dr Johnson)
1No, it's not. Not entirely.

Oh, I don't know. Personally I can't stand the latter, love the former. And what's wrong with making money?

Mind you it's probably more stressful thant staying at home and NOT making money :-)

I think your right about the apprentice. Though Donald Trump does have a good book out titled "Think big and kickass: in business and in life", highly recommended, important info in it.
