Which Dragon has appeared for the longest time on the British show Dragon's Den?

The story behind the answer

Peter Jones has appeared for the longest time on the British television show Dragon's Den.

He has been a Dragon since the programme began in 2005, making him the only original investor to remain continuously associated with the regular panel across the show's long run. Jones is an entrepreneur and investor with interests in technology, media, retail and leisure.

His continuing presence makes him one of the programme's defining figures. He is also known for his tall stature and for frequently examining a business's valuation, scalability and potential for growth.

Other major Dragons, including Deborah Meaden and Duncan Bannatyne, have had long tenures, but neither has matched Jones's continuous run from the original British series.
