He was confused and flustered because before the pitch, Evan Davis had chased him around the ground floor and kept shouting out random numbers before getting hold of him and spinning him around twenty odd times and then told him "you've got this" and led him to the stairs to do his pitch.

"Will Duncan Bannatyne throw him the financial lifeline he badly needs?"
Duncan: **eye roll**

[Uvray]

Felt sorry for him. Obviously quite a capable man in the real world, but clearly he walked up the stairs and lost his marbles. It can happen under pressure.

Entrepreneur: I own more than one business
Peter Jones: *it’s free real estate* 👀👀👀👀

[JoeAyres]

He was never gonna get the investment let's face it - all the signs were there.

1:17 me when there’s a pause in the convo on a first date

[etchvee]

What a shattering experience-he must have wanted to sign off 1 minute into the pitch

[shy_sorai]

Alun said in an interview that he went on to promote his business. He didn't have the right intentions and it showed.

[beancheese]

Imagine being grilled like this for 2-3 hours (the average length of these pitches) and flabbergasted from the moment you walked in. Yeah, this guy had no chance

[-UVB]

That was painful to watch and they never even got around to talking about his product.

[desoliver]

Shouldn't the sign have an apostrophe?

[kaliou]

The Entrepreneur has No "Signs" of giving up during his pitch 😂

[Pudji.Toucan]

Oh I just love Hilarious Duvet, she's absolutely amazing!

[mycroftsanchez]

Poor bloke, clearly suffering severely from nerves and they punished badly him for it.

Also, if you have more than one business keep quiet abot it or they will want to take it away from you!

[austinpibworth]

His core business and skill set doesn’t involve presenting to multi billionaires on TV in front of the whole country and world.

His nerves and ability to present under extreme pressure would have no relevance on his ability to operate his business.

[kevinbissinger]

he wasnt misleading, he answered their literal questions correctly and specifically...

[pamelamckenzie]

Never mind you will learn from this and I see you doing well good luck with it all.

[LucianaGarcia]

Bet the Dragons hoped it wasn't the Sign Of The Times for the subsequent entrepreneurs that walked up those stairs.

My favourite era of dragons den with the God squad : Pizza Jones, Theo "The Fetus" Paphitis, Debrah Meat Head and Duncan. James Naan was my favourite 5th dragon, man had class oozing out of his moustache strokingly beautiful face.
