James Caan Interview
Softly spoken and charming, James Caan is one dragon you probably would want to meet on a dark night. He is one of BBC entrepreneur show Dragon's Den's dragons. He really is as nice as he comes across on the telly and refutes the idea that any of the other investors acts up for the camera.
Which brings us to Deborah Meaden. Is James telling us that she's really that scary? 'Deborah's a tough cookie', he smiles, 'she doesn't negotiate where as I might be more flexible.'

After the banks, it was widely believed that hedge funds were next in line to administer another shock to a tottering global economy. And Madoff could well prove to be that proverbial straw.Stamp Duty rumours paralyze housing market - David Scott, Redmayne-Bentley
