Moan, moan, etc. (an ongoing series)

From Digital Spy:

Richard Farleigh, a panellist on Dragons' Den, has been dropped from the show.

The businessman, who has put around £130,000 into ventures over two series, said he was "disappointed and bemused" with the decision. Bosses told him he was now "into the TV world" enough.

The Daily Mail says insiders had suggested he was dropped in favour of getting more dragons from ethnic minorities.

A BBC spokesman said the new dragon would be chosen by their "business credentials" and not ethnicity. He said it was normal that the show sometimes changed its team.

It's not a very interesting story, merely another wearying example of the Daily Mail leaking its neuroses into our lives.
