www.bbc.co.uk The first in the new series of this genre-defining programme sees the multi-millionaire Dragon investors at the top of their game. Despite the economic doom and gloom that surrounds the country at the moment, the Den once again proves to be an oasis of investment. But only for those entrepreneurs with the very best business ideas and inventions, and who are prepared to risk all, by pitching to the notoriously tough-talking Dragons. Over the course of the next eight programmes, the Dragons are prepared to invest their own money, changing the lives of some of Britain’s best entrepreneurs. John Foster-Smith and Ros Adams invite the Dragons to get into bed with them and part with 50000 pounds in a product they claim solves long-running bedroom disputes between couples all over the country. The Dragons chat with a talking tree, but will this help them decide whether to invest in Julia Charles and Amy Goldthorpe’s events company? A machine that turns air into water, a non-slip travel cushion and a company that’s aiming to transform the nations’ gardens by brightening up the tired old garden fence, are all hoping they’re worthy of Dragon investment. And, has rock band Hamfatter from Cambridge come to the right place, or will they get short thrift from our five successful multimillionaire investors?
i got hit by a shoe in nettos the day i saw hamfatter in a club in stockton on tees.
I have that suit the hamfatter lead singer has. It cost me about £80 I think…
5:20 duncan lol! 3 offers to consider
.
does dragon mean jew in english?
but his 81000 pound for 5% offer doesn’t represent a 5,000,000 pound evaluation.
So he’s telling them he’s selling the 5% cheaper to them than it’s worth – OR – that he doesn’t know math.
ill take 10,000 pillows in blue thanks
LMAO JAMES.
Did you do Maths at school? XD
including my city if they havent been shot for being different yet
7:06 “YOU CANNOT GET IN THE VAN!!”
theres no way that cushion was worth GBP 5m but I think its a pretty good idea. Would have expected one of them to take a liking to it
Pft. You think financial experts would willy nilly give away money? There is OBVIOUSLY a contract.
Yeah I think they have flopped since. Another tomato can investment.
5 million that man is bonkers
Hah tell me about it, it’s lollable xD
Why are they falling over themselves to invest in this band?
There are undiscovered bands like this in pretty much every city!
You’re right, I had never even thought of that! They can take the money and run, they’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain…
I agree that their music’s totally clichéd and rubbish, but they had the balls to go on the show and take advantage of the dragon’s impressive lack of A&R knowledge. So they invested, knowing nothing about the genre, for a ridiculously huge advance. Hamfatter may disappear into the ether, but their entire pitch hinged on the fact that the dragons have no ear for music.
I can’t believe they invested in Hamfatter, they were fucking horrible. Bunch of lame-assed fruitcake dreamers…I bet Peter Jones lost every penny he sunk into them….
I do agree that that guys pillow invention was rather silly and not particually interesting, but dont you think the dragons were a bit harsh on him tho?
I gave you positive feedback, but I ponder about it a little bit and it came to me that maybe the changed their name and/or direction. Peter COULD shake them like that, couldn’t they?
All agreed on that fact (:
I love his socks
Utterly Adorable ^^
Your band can’t be worth a 100 million pounds.
i wouls have gone for theo and debra if my band went on Dragons den. But our band is amazing anyway so theyill give me a milion for 1 percent
Looks like choosing Peter was a mistake…anyone heard of Hamfatter since this episode?
Peter’s so TALL! But cute eh? ^^;
