Duncan Bannatyne Smartens Up For Dragons' Den

The latest series of Dragons' Den is now in full swing on BBC Two. In fairness, not much as changed. James Caan has joined the team of potential investors, but the one major difference we have seen (and for the better we hasten to add) is the addition of a garment around the neck of Duncan Bannatyne.

Bannatyne, who in previous series' has sported an open neck shirt, has been wearing a tie for the fifth season. A clip can be seen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/broadband/mediaplayer/players/bbc2/bb_wm_console.shtml?redirect=console.shtml&lang=en&nbram=1&nbwm=1&bbwm=1&bbram=1&package=4588699&clip=s5ep4_preview

Doesn't he look a smart dragon?

Full marks to Peter Jones too, who has worn a silk tie every episode of Dragons' Den he has appeared in.
