Scary dragons

Is there anything more frightening on TV at the moment than the trailer for the new series of Dragons' Den?

Forget the Daleks, children will be hiding behind the sofa at the sight of these grimacing millionaire entrepreneurs.

Of course they're meant to be scary, but that's during the programme when they're firing questions at the hopeless people who come in with harebrained business ideas.

We're used to seeing the likes of Theo Paphitis looking stern and grumpy. It's their sinister smiles during the trailer which I find impossible to watch.

They're supposed to be bearing down on someone they like the look of, while grinning inanely in a menacing fashion.

If this is them trying to be nice, I'd prefer them to go back to being nasty.

Stop it now, it's truly terrifying!
