Dragons' Den, Series 9 Episode 3 of 10

Duration: 1 hour

Dragons' Den continues with a fresh set of fervent entrepreneurs, each hoping to receive cash investment for their company, idea or invention. With multimillionaire investor Hilary Devey now firmly settled into the line-up, this is a business meeting to test even the most composed and prepared of people. Who will convince the Dragons that they are worthy of financial backing?

It's a Den full of family businesses. Tim and Meena Kalia and their business partner Tricia Tierney try to talk the Dragons into investing in their innovative litter trays for dogs. The Den is taken over by a pirate, a street urchin and a hippy as Peter and Michelle Hart, plus five of their seven children, pitch their fancy dress business; but is their dream of investment pure fantasy? Brothers Jim and Richard George from Malvern believe they're in a strong position with their fence preservation company, which is already trading. The business-savvy siblings have a deal in mind - but will the offer they're holding out for materialize?

Others looking for Dragon investment include an 'all you can drink' membership club, an exercise suit that claims to burn extra calories, and some giant knitting needles.
