BBC America Adding Reality Series Dragon's Den
Show Comes from Co-Owned BBC Entertainment, Sony Pictures Television

BBC America bought reality series Dragon's Den.
The reality series from co-owned BBC Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television features entrepreneurs pitching their ideas -- umbrella vending machines in London subways, for example -- to self-made millionaires (the "dragons").
ABC, for one, has had some rating success with its take on the theme, American Inventor.
Dragon's Den, slated for January 2008, is hosted by BBC economics editor Evan Davis and has the added element that the self-made millionaires will invest some of their own money in the most convincing pitch.
BBC America is a digital cable and satellite network distributed by Discovery Communications.

I've watched with interest the entrepreneurs coming before the Dragons, some have good ideas some are absolutely hopeless. Here in the States we're on a second season, the trouble is we have no idea how some of these investments have worked. Will we ever see a program devoted to the outcome of some of the ventures ? Now that would be interesting.
