i havent seen all that many episodes but thats the first time i seen anyone greet the dragons like that

He was capturing their DNA. Smart guy.

Professional yet personable

[@el-sig2249]

Too presumptuous 😏

[@aaronhurst4379]

The way he almost galloped back down the stairs, holding in his rage, sent me 💀

[@mrh107]

It's like he'd slept on both of his arms for a couple of hours and lost all ability to control them.

[@BenjaminGoose]

Sent you where?

[@ghamandlupinwalkingtours]

Rachel: I'm not going to invest cos I don't like you LOL

That was exactly what I thought.

This guy was brilliant. Everything I want from a Dragons Den contestant

[@aaronhurst4379]

Series 1 DD was something else. So many charlatans being let in there, including this guy

YEP !

[@ianlister7333]

What a chancer this guy is, love the S1 energy. However the event itself, I dont think im unique when I say this, but ive seen events go wrong. Events where tickets were for sale at £30, and in the last 48 hours, they just gave the tickets away to local company's. They do the job of making the event look well attended, but how many tickets they actually sold, you never know.

[@lukevincent4397]

Duncan could smell B/S right off the bat.

In case of rain, we can also buy a pluralism insurance policy...

[@BenjaminGoose]

It's called pluvial insurance, and they already discussed that.

'This Pizza Express contract is NOT a _contract_ " -Gavin Drake.

[@Leewoods123]

My thoughts on this episode; - “my names Gavin, Gavin Drake” - this melt thinks he’s James Bond ffs🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ - the way he skipped down the stairs at the end🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️what a complete w ⚓️ - the way he dismissed Rachel was very amusing! - this guy is so out of control of his body language/emotions! See 6:45 for a prime example of defensive body language - getting agitated and then crossing his arms in the most exaggerated way🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ - Duncan apologising on behalf of all men to Rachel at the end was hilarious with the other three men and him looking down the line and laughing 🤣

[@mknight4124]

Did i miss something? Ok, his business idea / pitch may have been flakey but when was he rude? I think what is rude is going out of your way on TV to tell someone you dont like them. Maybe he got distracted due to nerves.

[@kxmode]

"we have a contract with pizza express" turns out that was BS lying.

[@graemeyetts3465]

He merely had an agreement for them to charge him for a service so that was naughty.

[@kxmode]

it was a promise to provide services at the venue for a fee that they can for any reason decide not to do. an agreement isn't a contract.

[@demonmech]

Dude said many words and very little at the same time

[@ib9359]

In what world was this guy😂. He had nothing, think about the costs of renting an area in the london park for a weekend. The bands, security and more. He would be broken after 1 crappy event.

[@MrJamesLongstreet]

Wow, Season 1, Episode 1! And such a nice bloke, not at all passive-aggressive. I really hope he didn't fell down the stairs when the presentation was over.

[@kylemc0254]

Does simon ever invest

[@MrWillyMrBrightside]

No, he hated doing the show and felt it just became a shouting match, and that the producers deliberately put bad pitches/silly business ideas for better TV, which is fair enough it's just a telly show, but he didn't take it seriously

[@stinameaner]

He made two offers. One was rejected because they all wanted a ridiculous chunk of his business and the other offer fell through in the post show discussions

[@ScottOSaurus]

Imagine walking into the room and seeing Rachel and Doug sitting there. I wouldn’t even look at them what’s the point ones broke the other doesn’t invest. Rachel is such a Karen, a broke one now.

Why are they in a tiny room? Why's he shaking their hands? Why is the camera and audio quality so bad? Did Dragons' Den have its budget slashed and now they're being forced to make it in Peter Jones' basement?
