On the second stage of its tour of the UK, Dragons' Den: On Tour heads back on the road proving that, even in tough times, entrepreneurialism is fighting fit in our cities, towns and villages.

But will Duncan Bannatyne agree with Shaun that the Dragons got it wrong?

Another diverse mix of businesses and entrepreneurs go before the multimillionaire investors.

But will he walk away with the cash? Serial inventor Michael Pritchard hopes to clean up in the Den with his revolutionary invention that allows every last drop of liquid to be used in household product sprays.

Kelly Hoppen receives an unusual phone call from outside the Den, a mother and daughter pitch their waterproof products for children, and a trio of breakdancers introduce the Dragons to some innovative earphones. The panellists are also serenaded by a group of princesses and have a go on a modern day penny-farthing. However, will any of them feel the urge to invest?

It is another busy week in the Den as eight more entrepreneurs pitch to the Dragons for a cash injection in their money-making ideas. Often, a visual aid helps get across what is being pitched, and this time there is a plethora of props to help the multimillionaires understand the commercial potential of the businesses on offer. A ballroom dancer turned inventor brings a bit of sparkle into the Den via a tango and a glitter ball; Theo Paphitis and Peter Jones crawl into a new concept for the camping industry; and a labrador called Margot helps to sell the idea of doggy ice cream. Also in the Den: a world kickboxing champion, two Welshmen with their celebrity-backed toffee vodka, and three friends from London who hope to capitalise on empty loft space.

Some of the nations' budding businessmen and women have already entered the Den, but so far not all of their products and inventions have received a rave reception. This episode sees more intrepid entrepreneurs climb the stairs in the hope of realising their own investment dreams. Numbers are crunched and ideas are interrogated as the five fearsome Dragons weigh up which side of the coin their decision to invest will come down on. A former disc jockey has a strategy, dress to impress to catch the attention of an investor. The DJ may have worn a DJ, but is that all it takes to part a Dragon from their cash? A Londoner hopes to alleviate a common worry for holidaymakers by locking up their valuables, but with just 5 per cent of his company on offer, can he guarantee a valuable return? Monterrey-born Marcela Flores Newburn pitches her Mexican food range complete with a full mariachi band, another budding entrepreneur asks the multi-millionaires to think of their homes, not as houses but as a source of income, and a former hairdresser has a product that makes money from thin air, but does he have the business plan to match?

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.

Evan Davis gives more would-be entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their ideas to panelists Deborah Meaden, Nick Jenkins, Peter Jones, Touker Suleyman and Sarah Willingham. Among the products up for inspection are a self-serve beer pump and a trailer tent that is tall enough to stand up in - but which proves harder to erect than its creator intended.

Entrepreneurs pitch a moveable webcam, a men's skincare range, a caffeine chew for long-distance runners, and seasonal decorations that add diversity to the festivities.

With a fair amount of game playing, gambling and bargaining taking place, will anyone manage to secure a deal?

A husband and wife team from Warwickshire, David and Patti Bailey, believe they have every executive's dream, with a range of computer mice based on iconic classic cars. Ever wondered how to get the last bit of toothpaste from the tube? Susan Bell and Jonathan Jones have an invention that can do just that, and are looking for 75,000 pounds to take it to market. Michael Lea from Cheshire reckons that good food is always in demand, even in a recession, and wants a Dragon to back his novel hot and cold food van. Also, young Manchester student Vernon Kerswell hopes the sky's the limit with his extreme remote-controlled microhelicopters.

For Lancashire-based Paul Ward, the current swine flu pandemic has boosted sales of his bug-busting cleaning products, but will the Dragons be impressed enough to invest? Carol Savage from Hertfordshire hopes to cook up a frenzy with her online community for food lovers, and whilst the Dragons are no strangers to fine wine, can serial entrepreneur James Nash entice them to pour investment into his innovative single serve wine containers? Meanwhile, can jewellery and fashion designer Jane Rafter walk away with investment for her range of customisable sandals? Finally, the Dragons come face-to-face with themselves as a Midlands trio ask for 50,000 pounds for their customisable masks.

In the final programme of the series, it is Duncan Bannatyne's turn to open the door into his multi-millionaire world. Having grown up in the shadow of the shipyards of Clydebank, he makes an emotional visit to the local pub where he used to play dominoes with his father and talks about some of the events that shaped his life. We see a very different side to the tough-talking, plain-speaking dragon as he explains how his unconventional CV is ideal for anyone who wants to be a successful entrepreneur. We are with Bannatyne's family as they holiday in their luxurious villa in the Cote D'Azure, track his business career to find out where he made his millions, but also discover that his straight talking manner is unsuprisingly not confined to the den. We also trace some of his most memorable den investments and find out what happened once the deal was done - from the all-singing, all-dancing Razzmatazz franchises, through to the successful logistics company Igloo and the electrical wiring connector that is selling in the millions and has turned its inventor Peter Moule into a mini-dragon in his own right.

Series revealing the lives of the Dragons' Den dragons. How did they make their millions? And what are they really like? Deborah Meaden is next up in this five-part series profiling each of the current dragons. Having made her fortune in the leisure industry, Deborah's back at Butlins, the home of her first venture into entrepreneurialism: a bingo concession. We find out from her husband Paul what he thinks of being married to a dragon; discover what it's like being the only female dragon in an otherwise testosterone-fuelled den; and hear from a former employee about how tough she was to work for. The answer? Very. We also catch up with some of Deborah's Den investments and discover how the businesses are developing with a dragon on board. One of Deborah's most memorable investments, Sarah Lu and her You Doo Doll, has developed into a full range of products including a You Doo Dog. Deborah's killer heels don't get in the way as she climbs aboard an HGV truck with another den investment, JPM Logistics, as they ferry topiary elephants around London; and we're with recycling company ProWaste in the first few weeks and months of dealing with a dragon outside the Den.

Dragons' Den continues with eight more intrepid entrepreneurs pitching Britain's brightest ideas to the multimillionaire investors. Will any of them manage to make the Dragons part with their cash? Tonight's episode sees Londoners Krissy Sims and Kerry O'Brien AKA DJ Trickles and Lady MC enter the Den with a state-of-the-art turntable extravaganza in the back of their 4x4. The Dragons are often happy to demo a product but it is the business and how it makes money that remains their ultimate concern. Husband and wife team Liz and Alan Colleran from Dewsbury may be pitching their comfy caravan product - but will their Den experience be quite so luxurious and comfortable? Elsewhere, an Englishman, a Norwegian and a Scot walk into the Den. Shades for canines are on offer, there's an inflatable car-based device like you have never seen before and a Kent-based entrepreneur thinks honesty is the best policy when pitching without a formal business plan - but with an offer to help everyone get the perfect looking body for just 20 pounds. With further interviews and reaction available via the Red Button at the end of the programme.

The Dragons encounter a colourful Indian dance troupe and the weird and wonderful world of taxidermy and a young Yorkshire duo try to impress Peter Jones by eating their own product - dog food. Will they do enough to secure a deal?

Dragons' Den is where life-changing business deals are made. The five multimillionaire investors are looking for the next big money-making ventures, so any attempt by an entrepreneur to deflect a question or change the subject can lead to some choice words and a quick exit. This week in particular the Dragons seem to have got out of their million pound beds on the wrong side. Tempers flare when one entrepreneur offers just one per cent of his business, valuing it at 15 million pounds; hackles are raised by a toastmaster from Staffordshire looking for investment in his 'male intimate wipes'; and the Dragons live up to their name when deciding whether to invest in an online store for second-hand goods. But can any turn it round and secure the investment they need? Also facing the Dragons are a TV stuntman pitching his horror-themed paintball experience, a husband and wife with a new DIY product and a man from Birmingham who believes his darts invention is a world first.

The economy may have contracted but the same can't be said for the Dragons' business portfolios as they pledge more money than ever before to cash-strapped entrepreneurs. But it's still their own hard-earned fortunes they are risking and anyone expecting an easy time is in for a rude awakening at the top of those famous stairs this week. It's not easy when Deborah Meaden declares you've given possibly the worst pitch in the Den, but that's just what Manchester inventor Samantha Gore heard last series as her pitch fell apart. That hasn't deterred her though, and she's back again with another addition to her crime prevention business and continued dreams of investment. Fellow Mancunian and classical pianist David Schofield is hoping his youthful take on the classics will get a Dragon to finance his future recordings. Also aiming to succeed is Ronan McCarthy from Surrey with his 21st-century take on the shoe polish booth. Personal biographer Michael Oke hopes he can start a new chapter in his life and get one of the five dragons to back his publishing venture, whilst West Midlands duo Peter Neath and Ian Worton hope they'll stand up to the investors' grilling and secure some much needed cash in their sausage cooking accessory. Devon mother of two Nikki Povey brings along a couple of interesting friends in a bid to appeal to the Dragons' fun side, and London businessman Jason Roberts pitches his range of protective coverings for mobile phones and computer equipment.

In the sixth episode of the fifth series, the entrepreneurs approach the dragons with the following ideas: * Stimulating Baby clothes * Shower system for hospitals * Caribbean ready meals * Musical extravaganza

With the Den nearing the end of the series, time is of the essence for the next set of entrepreneurs pitching to the Dragons for a life-changing investment. Who will succeed where so many others have failed? Security is needed as one Cambridge-based entrepreneur is overwhelmed by paparazzi when pitching his new business idea, a keen golfer presents his very special glove, and a Nottingham-based couple want to take a slice of the UK's seven billion pound DIY market with their update on the simple paint brush. Also this week; a driving school for 14-year-olds, an electronic bed stored in your ceiling, and two friends hoping to make money out of thin air.

A former Team GB triathlete pitches an innovative sports recovery drink, a tech savvy entrepreneur presents his taxi-booking app and one London based businessman raises some eyebrows with his bespoke male contraceptive solution.

The Dragons are back and hungry to secure themselves the best deal. These are challenging times economically, but that hasn't deterred the nation's entrepreneurs from pitting their wits against the multimillionaire investors. In this series, a record number of entrepreneurs walk up the famous stairs to ask for an all-important cash injection that could transform their businesses and change their lives. The rival multimillionaires may be used to the odd glass of something sparkling, but Devon-based vineyard owner Geoff Bowen hopes his unusual business proposition will tempt them into investing. Inventor Derek Cozens thinks that road signs are so last century and wants to drag them into 2010 with his new product range. Do Dragons have a sweet tooth? One 24-year-old mum from Preston, Kirsty Henshaw, hopes they do and that it's the best way to get the cash she needs for her frozen pudding business. It wouldn't be Dragons' Den without a product getting tested to destruction, and calling a product 'safe' is like a red rag to a bull for one particular Dragon.

Dragons' Den is back with two brand new multimillionaires joining the illustrious line up - cloud computing pioneer Piers Linney and design industry icon Kelly Hoppen take their seats alongside returning den stalwarts Duncan Bannatyne, Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden. In this series opener a former male stripper breaks down under the pressure, and two British expats launch their Australian tanning range with a jingle that takes the Dragons by surprise.

Entrepreneurs Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Touker Suleyman, Tej Lalvani and Jenny Campbell assess more unusual business ideas, including a shocking display from the owner of a live anatomy dissection business and a new model of tuk-tuk that turns out to have a fatal flaw. The final presentation is for a singer-for-hire scheme, which prompts the panel to show off their own musical talents.

It may be a time of austerity in the UK but not so in the Dragons' Den... business is booming as the self-made multimillionaires return to the screen, ready to boost the economy by investing in the brightest and best of Britain's entrepreneurs. Whilst the rules of the series remain the same, you will notice one change... the arrival of new Dragon Hilary Devey, who joins the line-up of the five fearsome financiers. Having scrimped, saved and self-sacrificed in the haulage industry to make her own fortune, Hilary has her own views on the products and businesses brought before her, and she's more than happy to take on her rivals in order to get the best deal. 34-year-old Georgette Hewitt, from Kent, finds out exactly how nerve-wracking it can be to climb those famous stairs and pitch to the Dragons. It's a real battle to compose her nerves, but one she must win in order to tempt the multimillionaires to invest in her answer to a common birthday party headache familiar to all parents. Entrepreneurs often take advantage of the latest government schemes and incentives when building their business, which is exactly what Chris Hopkins from Yorkshire has done by capitalising on the solar power feed-in tariff. But when a Dragon knows your industry inside out it's not always what you want. Add into the mix the most unusual use you could ever think of for a plastic egg, a circus act that's sure to go with a bang, and a mind coaching massage service, and you've got a formidable showcase of the Great British spirit of invention and innovation. As ever Evan Davis is on hand to dissect the events, with further action and reaction available through the Red Button.

Vying for the dragons' attention include a pair of Cumbrian woodsmen who attempt an unusually combative tactic in winning the dragons' approval, while the den falls into unusual serenity when a Glasgow couple demo their yoga franchise. Will any business succeed in securing the dragons' investment?

The Den is down a Dragon as Hilary Devey is temporarily absent, however while only four multimillionaire investors preside over proceedings, they are as keen as ever to find the next big thing to back with their hard-earned cash. In this episode recorded before his own heart scare, Duncan Bannatyne and his rival Dragons get to see how a doctor, a nurse and a paramedic would treat a cardiac arrest in the Den. Plus a nervous Aldershot butcher seeks investment in his award-winning sausages, and a father and daughter team from Hertfordshire showcase their troop of drummers. Also in the Den, a first time inventor advises how to keep dry while cleaning your car wheels, a former teacher asks the Dragons to make origami puppets, and an inanimate object speaks for itself and asks for £50,000.

Sticky business in the Den: a product using nano suction technology has the Dragons glued, there's an alarmed LED walking stick and a marshmallow lover lets the Dragons get sticky fingers with her gourmet treats. For those who overindulge, there is a cycling brand for the larger figure, and the Dragons are invited to play with a new keepy-uppy toy. Will anyone be able to cement a deal?

Tonight sees the penultimate episode of the current series, with more intrepid businessmen and women hoping to receive a cash injection from the five multimillionaires. The Dragons have already proven that they are willing to invest in the right idea - will they spot the next big thing tonight? Entrepreneurs include: two Berkshire design graduates who think they've solved the multiple-pint juggle when carrying a round back from the bar, a former celebrity PA who has an awkward moment when her mobile phone rings during her pitch, and an ex-DJ from south Wales who hopes his role-play disco will best demonstrate his product for sore feet. Also pitched are a website for 'amazing' retirees, a gadget to reduce our food waste, and a car that's also a barbeque.

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.

It's Peter Jones' story next in the penultimate programme in this series. He made his money in the telecoms industry, but has gone on to become one of the most high-profile businessmen in the UK. With unprecedented access to Peter's business and personal life, we follow him as he visits 10 Downing Street for a meeting with the prime minister; at home with his five children; and discover how he made, and why he lost, his first fortune. We also catch up with some of Peter's investments, which are among the most memorable in the Den. Both Levi Roots and his Reggae Reggae Sauce have become household names, but how much money are they making? And Hamfatter, the first band to enter the Den, ended up being able to choose between offers from four dragons. Peter won that battle, and we catch up with them all during the band's recent UK tour and discover whether their dragon backer has managed to turn them into a profitable proposition.

A former professional boxer spars with the Dragons, charming them with his no-nonsense pitching style, and isn't afraid to get down and give them twenty. A twenty-seven-year-old from County Down faces some tough questions over his valuation at ten times the revenue he is forecasting, not a thing that traditionally endears an entrepreneur to an investor.

And with the kids all back at school, two friends hope now is the right time for investment in their innovative children's backpack designs - have they got what it takes to part five of Britain's most successful business men and women from their hard-earned cash? Also pitching to the multimillionaire investors is a Northern Irish inventor with his unique range of wearable luggage, and love is in the air when two Dragons tie the knot using a rather unusual vending machine.
