Overview
- The new series is filling Sara Davies’ seat with weekly guest investors rather than appointing a permanent Dragon.
- Thursday’s BBC One episode on February 5 featured Gary Neville returning as a guest, following earlier appearances since 2024.
- Posts on X called for a fixed fifth Dragon and criticized the revolving-door approach now shaping the panel.
- Some viewers also complained that offers were too freely made in the latest episode, questioning the tougher dealmaking of past series.
- Touker Suleyman jokingly labeled Neville the most generous investor on a podcast, and Neville said he sometimes gives small stakes when he warms to entrepreneurs.
