Peter Jones is the only original Dragon's Den investor still regularly associated with the British series.
Jones joined the programme when the UK version launched in 2005. The original panel also included Duncan Bannatyne, Rachel Elnaugh, Doug Richard and Theo Paphitis, but each of those investors later left the regular line-up.
Jones is a British entrepreneur whose business interests have included technology, media, leisure and property. His investments and business experience have made him one of the most recognisable figures connected with the programme.
The wording refers to the original regular panel rather than every investor who has ever appeared. Dragon's Den has featured guest and replacement dragons over the years, so panel membership can vary by series. Jones's continuing presence is the stable fact behind this distinction.
