Nice one! We have a UK version of Dragon's Den. It's great for publicity, but in the business press you read nothing but sob stories from people who have given away 50% of their business to receive absolutely no support - sometimes not even had the contract signed.
BUT - it *is* fantastic publicity. The people who do seem to do well are those who the Dragons like a lot, but who turn down their offers on the grounds that they want too much of the company (typically 50% for £100k). Your show is classic UK Dragons Den fare - bit of sex, bit of tech, something wacky but clever. You can bet they'll be really hot on your numbers, though. They'll try to murder you on revenue, they don't accept any secrets and it's all on national TV... Good luck!
