Dragons’ Den
8pm, BBC One
Once a fierce, if campy, arena of competitive business bargaining, Dragons’ Den is now – like The Apprentice – far too dominated by the cliches and foibles of its format to feel fresh. Even so, it still excels in “wait, what?” moments – not least with this week’s bounty of extreme equity negotiations. Hannah J Davies
