Peter Jones has been a dragon on the British TV series Dragon's Den since the programme began in 2005.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and businessman whose interests have included telecommunications, technology, retail and property. On the show, he is recognised for his long tenure and for considering businesses across consumer products, services and technology.
The panel has changed many times since the first series. Duncan Bannatyne, Rachel Elnaugh, Doug Richard and Simon Woodroffe were among the original dragons, while later regulars included Theo Paphitis, Deborah Meaden, James Caan and others. Because the line-up changes, viewers can mistake a long-serving dragon for an original one.
Jones’s continuous presence is a particularly stable fact about the British edition. It distinguishes him from investors who became associated with the programme only after its launch or appeared for limited periods.
