    Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer... Since first opening its doors in 2005, over 1,000 entrepreneurs have trod the Den’s hallowed boards. Comedian Joe Lycett narrates a journey through the most memorable and jaw-dropping pitches of the last 17 series.
    Dedicated to inventors and their inventions, tonight’s episode features some of the best - as well as the oddest - products ever pitched to the Dragons, ranging from an invention designed to stop couples straying onto one another’s side of the bed to seasoned inventor Rupert Sweet Escott’s prototype pedal-powered aviation aid, and featuring the youngest ever entrepreneur to be backed by the Dragons in the Den.

    I've bought this product, they are less than £5 now, it is brilliant! I don't have a trade, I just have a go and can do most things, currently undertaking a barn conversion (documenting on TH-cam too if you like that kind of thing). I sat here reading the comments and didn't see anyone say they've used it and what their experience was like, so I had to pipe up. It doesn't dry out, it's just chalk and compressed air/gas. It comes in handy all of the time. Buy one!

    "Why can't you use a sharpie"
    Clearly Peter isn't a DIY guy.. The beauty of this is that, it can work with any sized holes. You can't fit a sharpie through some holes to match due to the shape of the sharpie. The spray injection and florousent is a genius idea really. This is something I would buy and keep

    @L.Drizzle 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Peter's brighter than a lot of this comment section seems to think.
    It's not that he couldn't see the potential of the product. Through his questioning, he was doing three things: first, testing the character of the pitchers to see how they handle some fierce questioning. Secondly, he was tactically making the product look less attractive to the fellow dragons, whilst thirdly hiding his own interest in investing.
    He's not a builder, he's a shrewd businessman.

    It's a brilliant idea. I think the best ideas are the ones that people realise they need, but never thought of them on their own before. Sometimes the dragons don't see the brilliance of ideas like that, glad to see that this one was different :D It's all about making life easier. The fact that they themselves are too rich to use some of these things doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't need them :D

    peter is wrong.
    question "why cant u use a sharpie"
    the answer is not quite properly said "the sharpie is not good enough"
    the right answer is - "this give the dot that you can directly drill ahead on it for the screw to go in" , in the case of the sharpe, the need to navigate to the hole or the side of the hole depth should be less to mark it with pencil or sharpie tip.
