That stat above about 50% of the done deals falling through. She'd be one of those if they'd invested in her when they found out her books would be a shambles!

Besides she came on the show 15 mins early anyway everyone knows you go on dragons den at 9:45 to get guaranteed money

Did he call him Pete?

I thought PJ said "Call me Pete" as some sort of joke.

They're not going to invest in an energy drink surely?! Must be the most saturated market going!

Yes, one of my pet hates is people using a shortened version of a name without invitation. If you introduce yourself as Peter, Andrew or Stephen then it's not OK for someone to immediately call you Pete, Andy or Steve.

At least he didn't call Deborah "Debbie".

Yeah during the demonstration he called him Pete. Peter then said "Did you just call me Pete?" and there was a moment of silence before the guy said "Er" as if to add the R onto the end of Pete.

Peter then sort of shot him a "Are you for real?" look and it was downhill from that moment onwards. Peter is a stickler for professionalism in the den. And to be fair going in and calling a dragon an abbreviation of their name is bad form. He didn't even apologise.

To be honest he hasn't done anything on Dragons Den to warrant being rated imo, he may as well not be there.

Theo and Peter were the most entertaining, and seemed to do the most deals together, i agree its a shame Theo left

No one even mentioned the drinks he was (stupidly) trying to sell. No wonder cause he is like a flea on the backs of Lucozade, Redbull etc.

Dragons Den is a great concept, and Duncan has been an integral part of the mix. Well done him!
