Dragons’ Den, BBC2’s investment reality show, is very, very popular. Not content with having four ‘Dragons’ to vet business propositions and sink their own money into ventures, the show now has two online Dragons, whom you can pitch to on the Dragons’ Den web site. In fact, you can view some pitches already.
Here, Dominic Byrne, more famous to radio listeners for producing Chris Moyles’ breakfast show but who’s the online version of Evan Davis for this, interviews the two online Dragons, Julie Meyer and Shaf Rasul:
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
