Peter Jones has been a regular Dragon on the British series of Dragon's Den since it began in 2005.
Jones is a British entrepreneur and investor whose interests have included technology, media, retail and telecommunications. He was part of the original investor panel and continued as the programme's longest-serving regular Dragon.
His long tenure is a notable part of the show's history because the panel has changed repeatedly. Other original investors, including Duncan Bannatyne, Rachel Elnaugh, Simon Woodroffe and Doug Richard, eventually left the regular line-up.
This fact concerns regular participation rather than every episode or every special appearance. Guest Dragons and temporary panel changes do not alter Jones's status as the continuing original investor associated with the main British series.
