Which investor replaced Doug Richard as a Dragon on the British series Dragon's Den?

Richard Farleigh replaced Doug Richard as a Dragon on the British series Dragon's Den.

Doug Richard was one of the original investors when the British programme launched. After he left, Australian-born investor Richard Farleigh joined the panel as his replacement. Farleigh was known for technology and investment experience and brought a different background to the Den's negotiations.

The distinction matters because several investors joined the show during its early years. Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis were original Dragons, while James Caan arrived later as another replacement. Remembering the sequence of panel changes is more reliable than treating every prominent investor as part of the launch lineup.

Farleigh's appearance belongs to the programme's early period, before the panel settled into later combinations featuring investors such as Deborah Meaden and James Caan. The answer is the investor's full name, Richard Farleigh.
