DRAGON’S DEN

BBC1, 8pm

The straight-talking titans of commerce – Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Tej Lalvani and Sara Davies – are back, hunting for the next big moneymaking idea in this 18th series.

There’s a rare lighthearted moment when a mindfulness art business owner suggests a Dragon paints a picture of Peter, inset below. “Now that’s how to win friends and influence people,” says Deborah, who steps up to the palette.

A husband-and-wife team also hope to impress with their skin care aimed at the needs of NHS workers.

But will their ‘compassion before cash’ attitude, with a charitable heart, be enough to win a £75,000 investment?
