One of my favourite programmes- so glad it is back on again for another series, and he gave a lot away, £136,000 in all. One of those lads seemed very keen to do the work experience so hope he got his exam so he could do it, and maybe go on to work for James full time. I always get weepy when they give the money away. There are some marvellous people in this world who try to help others and this programme showcases them, pity they can't get more help from the government tho. I lked the fact James had implemented a volunteer scheme for his employees to take up too, so even more good will come of the programme.
I did think that he has made his money from possibly charging people a lot of interest maybe when they can't get cheaper loans but if he is giving something back now, and continues to support those people he helped, maybe it counterbalances it.

Did not take to James at the start but warmed to him at the end.

Hi Ros. Yeah watched it. Great to see it back on telly.

When I watch Dragons Den, I think they would be better giving their money to worthwhile causes.
