What, no Tycoon?

I confess - I'm one of those addicted to programs such as The Apprentice and The Dragons' Den. It follows inevitably that I avidly lap up Tycoon, a blatant hybrid of the two. This was brought home with a bang this evening when I found it doesn't seem to be on this week.

There's quite a few other shows that pick up on the entrepreneur theme in a similar way, and I'm intrigued that we're so fascinated by this particular sort of reality TV. They say we all have at least one novel inside us - perhaps we've all got a business in there too. Maybe that's where the attraction lies.

After all, in its own way, running your own business is just as much about self-expression as writing a novel.
