I DON'T know what it is about grumpy men who aren't short of a bob or two (think Simon Cowell, Jeremy Paxman) but when Dragon's Den's Duncan Bannatyne and Peter Jones savage the clueless hopefuls, it makes my knees go weak.

Maybe the clue is in the question - think back to Mrs Merton's brilliant question to Debbie McGee: "So, what first attracted you to millionaire Paul Daniels?"

Any-hoo, watching last night's lambs being led to the slaughter was particularly pleasurable.

First up was Adam who had the idea of revolutionising the way we wash our feet.

I've never had a problem with good old fashioned soap in the morning shower, but maybe for many people keeping your feet clean is a problem?

His soap-filled shower mat with exfoliating island and reflexology nodules - a rough area and some bumpy bits - was meant to take the strain out of foot hygiene.

Of course we all knew the dragons weren't going for that one from the minute he stepped forward (with his no-doubt pristine feet).

Peter Jones even got out of his individual battered leather chair to demonstrate that even for a man of his height (6ft 7in if you're interested) foot washing really isn't rocket science.

I thought they were pretty harsh - I quite liked the idea of shuffling around on a piece of glorified sand paper in the shower.

And I could definitely see Adam's invention actually being quite a hit in the Betterware catalogue surrounded by telescopic magnetic poles and portable urination units.
