Double Dragon

The BBC has just unveiled two new Dragons who'll be fronting an on-line only version of Dragon’s Den. And one of them looks mighty familiar to us. One of the gentlemen above is Edinburgh-based Shaf Rasul, who established optical-media distribution company, E-Net Computers Limited, in 2000 and it is now the largest storage media distributor in Europe and one of the biggest buyers of optical storage products in the world.

The other is The Hood from Thunderbirds.

But which is which?

Just don’t go pitching any ideas involving nuclear warheads or laser cannons, just in case.

WOW. Things are REALLY going down hill on this site.

Did you really mean to suggest that one new Dragon looks like the Hood and the other new Dragon IS the Hood? :)

To be fair, it does say, "One of the gentlemen above".

Well it amused me. It's like an "And finally" on the New At 10

From what I know of Shaf, he's a decent sort of a guy on many levels. Never really looked at him as a double for The Hood though. :-)

You know, I like the concept, an international rescue squad, but the ships are woefully under constructed, and I think I can see strings, plus, I've a feeling they might spoil my nefarious plans, so, for that reason, I'm out...
