In the UK television series Dragons' Den, which investor has appeared as a Dragon since the programme began in 2005?

The story behind the answer

Peter Jones has appeared as a Dragon on the UK television series Dragons' Den since its launch in 2005.

Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor whose businesses have included mobile communications, technology and media. He is one of the original Dragons from the first UK series and is known for remaining on the programme across many subsequent series.

The programme began on BBC Two in 2005, adapted from the Japanese format Money Tigers. Its investors are commonly called Dragons because entrepreneurs pitch for investment from a panel of wealthy businesspeople.

Jones is sometimes confused with Theo Paphitis or Duncan Bannatyne, who were also early Dragons. However, the key identifying fact is Jones's continuous association with the programme from its beginning.
