Synopsis

Episode image for Episode 2

Another set of hopeful entrepreneurs wait nervously to climb those famous stairs and pitch to the multimillionaire investors. They are all asking for a cash injection that they believe could make them a fortune and change their lives. Will the Dragons make or break their dreams?

It's a vintage Den this time as London-based Angela Newman invites the multimillionaires to invest in her business which celebrates the glamour of a bygone era. The Dragons like their fair share of glamour, but do they like it enough to invest?

Another hopeful is John Jackson, a 72-year-old inventor from Essex who thinks the humble washing line needs a modern day revamp and is hoping the Dragons agree.

And have engineers Robert Leeds and Guy Seymour come up with the perfect investment for the multimillionaire who has everything? It's an ideal fit for their luxury yachts, the biggest product ever seen in the Den and one of the largest investments ever requested. But will the entrepreneurial duo sink or swim?
