Title: Dragons’ Den
Description: Eight more intrepid businessmen and women descend the
infamous stairs in the hope of receiving a life-changing
cash injection into their business ideas. Two graduates aim
to impress the Dragons with their update to a 200-year-old
invention, a product they believe creates a whole new way of
advertising on Britain’s streets. Will the pair’s
futuristic demonstration be enough to secure the cash they
desperately need, or will the investors spot a fatal flaw? A
beauty lover from Birmingham pitches possibly the smallest
product ever seen in the Den, and a Lancastrian father of
three has some explaining to do when his business building
wooden huts comes under close scrutiny from the five
multimillionaires. Other ideas seeking investment in Den
include a multi-directional paint brush, a solution to the
troublesome problem of ’pillow slippage’ and a taxi
driver’s security invention, which is put through the Theo
Paphitis break test
