An international sensation, Dragon’s Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

The world has to much advertising I'm sick of it, I hate this idea
I’m glad he could walk out without mark saying no deal, he’s a dick
I hate this concept. I hate the entire world of mandatory advertisements.
It's one of my biggest issues with YouTube, Facebook and the like. I hardly use Facebook because of it. I had to hide the same disgusting pimple popping fetish group recommendation on Facebook about six times before it accepted that I wasn't interested. I've never in my life even thought of looking at anything remotely like that, so I have no idea why it kept suggesting it.
I don't want to be forced to watch something that I don't want to watch. I only watch catch up or recorded programmes that I can fast forward through when the adverts come on.
For things that I cannot skip, like YouTube adverts, I make a conscious decision to not buy any product or service from that company. As far as I'm concerned they're imposing on my relaxation time, they're interrupting the flow of whatever I'm watching and they therefore really irritate me. I don't enjoy adverts. I am a huge online shopper and have been for almost twenty years. I can shop by myself, I don't need suggestions. If I do, I'll do my own searches.
If I want to know what's going on in the news, I'll go online and read about what interests me, at a time that suits me. I don't want to be in a taxi on my way to an upbeat event and then have adverts from disreputable 'charities' of dying children flashing on the screen, or adverts for products I will never need or use in my life.
I am more than capable of identifying my own needs and doing research online and buying what I want, when I want.
Advertisements annoy me. When I'm watching a twelve minute video, I don't want four immersion breaking ads that can't be skipped until part way through, all of which are plugging products or services that I have no interest in (make £5K per week from home scams, Yolt, TikTok, Free Prints, Instagram etc.).
I understand this is how many businesses make money, but I don't like being subjected to things against my will. I very, very, seldom buy something I've been forced to watch an advert about. If I see a magazine or leaflet that appeals to me, I'll pick it up. If there's something I need or an issue I've got, I'll do my own research to find a fix.
I'd turn these TVs off immediately. I'd rather watch the scenery or check what I want to check on my phone than be forced to watch things I have absolutely no interest in.
For me this is one segment of a larger problem. I have the same issue with spam e-mails, post and calls. I'm registered with the TPS, MPS and constantly opt out of Royal Mail's Door to Door spam. I don't want this rubbish.
I know most businesses make a lot of money this way, but I wish there was a way of 'writing off' unprofitable people like me. They can use the valuable data they store on me to see that I've clicked maybe one advert out of thousands I've been forced to watch on YouTube alone. So they should cut their losses and stop pestering me.
I was genuinely shocked at how short that guy is
I don't know why but when the narrator casually said: 'after having torn mark to shreds, Peter Jones is out.' I could not stop laughing.
Million Dollar Potential in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that is guaranteed to be far more challenging and exciting than CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
Over time, Ruvol will surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
Why am I so sure about this? Because I am an avid chess player myself.
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED?
Ruvol is played somewhat like chess. It is played by two players. It uses a board that is rectangular in shape but containing more number of squares than chess. It has equal number of pieces on each side of the board, where each type of piece moves in distinct ways. However, if the way to win chess is to checkmate the opponent’s king, the way to win Ruvol is to be able to cross a designated line.
But there’s one big advantage Ruvol has over chess: The Ruvol pieces are randomly placed at the start of “every game” which makes it impossible for any clever player to memorize the moves. It is the players themselves who dictate the starting positions of their pieces, depending on the strategies they have planned before the start of each game. Hardly would the starting positions of one player be the same as the starting positions of his/her opponent in every game.
Ruvol was intended to give chess a direct “apple-to-apple” competition. At present, there is no other board game in the world within the same category of chess “where chess players can switch to.” Chess is totally a monopoly in its class. Chess players can now have an alternative in Ruvol.
A MILLION DOLLAR POTENTIAL IN RUVOL
The people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. These 800 million players comprise the “Total Potential Buyers” of Ruvol across the globe. At an average profit of just US$3 per set, the “Global Income Potential” of Ruvol then is US$2.4 billion. Assuming only 1% of it will buy each year, the annual global potential sale of Ruvol is US$24M.
I AM SELLING MY COPYRIGHT TO RUVOL.
For the reason that I don’t have the resources to publish Ruvol on a global scale, I find it “wiser” to simply sell my copyright.
If you similarly see the great potential in Ruvol and wanted to buy my copyright, I will be very glad to receive your BEST PRICE OFFER via email. My email address is: rodolfovitangcol@gmail.com.
Thanks and God bless!

I’ve seen his in NYC taxis- I hate them!! You’re force to watch ads in the backseat while driving to your destination
I got a pitch for the dragons hologram advertising I saw this on back to the future that s my pitch where I got my idea lol
He can’t pitch for his business but can argue relentlessly. Silly man is Scotland that cold they are getting brain freeze.
It's not three thousand adverts if you pay for you tube and only use that as the search engine 😉👍❤️
Alan sugar's daft advertising phone didn't work remember them 🤔
0:37: lol its sounded as if he said it send advertising to people and taxis that are being held captive.
3000 advertising messages per day? I get that many in 10 minutes of watching YouTube now!
You can tell this is season 1 and the dragons haven't found their flow yet. They didn't say "I'm out".
He should invest in a pare of high heels
Why is Richards always so harsh and confrontational? Don't think I have ever seen him laugh.
Pizza Jones hair style makes his head looks like bu** crack. Just saying 😌 🤷
So the "I'm out" catchphrase didn't exist in the early episodes.
Duncan and this guy speak the same language that Jeremy Clarkson don't understand.
I'm a taxi driver if he pitched for digital ads on top of the taxi he would have a deal.
What a gronk
I'm only here to see Rachel. Such a sexy woman.
I'm going on Dragons Den soon. I invented a toilet roll. Every sheet has a hole in the middle, so you can check your prostrate on every wipe. I think their is an opening for it.
my name is jenny,,people call me jenny,,so for that reason " i am out " 🙂
Doug Richards is a GOP goon
Jenny's in the cab…
"Just stop here mate, I need to be out"
1 milly
He watched himself out lol
The voice over explained better the pitch than the guy lol
This is just a narrowcasting system put in a cab..
How much Mark gets the profit a month? I am surprised that he lost 6000 pounds a month for the advertisement. He said that his company is a national brand.
One day they ads will be brain 🧠 implanted ..
I've worked in the advertising "game" and he should be able to raise the money he needs from the advertising – sell the concept. That's what you do with every new media because you dont have the benefit of showing them a working product – but he HAS!! It's in 30 cabs already. He was looking for easy street that's all.
These old first episodes were brutal, no "take it easy… pause to breathe for a second… take your time…" from the dragons, and the camera smack-dab on your face while you have an anxiety collapse. Oof……

I was uncaptivated with this pitch.
