- Ben Fridja got off to a promising start having outlined details for his company which wholesales, imports and retails innovative home appliances, Ben's core products being a steam cleaning device and a low-cost juicer but is he thinking too small?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

The sound guy is going wild on the horror / slasher sounds 🤣
Well Nick Jenkins' face does look like it's been sewn on by Hannibal Lecter
I genuinely felt like I was being dog whistled then realised I was casting this to my tv 😂😂😂😂
Clothes steamers can be scary ..
Ye, he just came over from Hells Kutchen
The hair flip back to peter cutting the sound off was too much!!
Fair play to Harry Maguire for doing this whilst being a professional footballer
Hahahahahahahahaha 🤣🤣
Show me the
He really needs to put his business aspirations aside until he gets some form back at United though
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
As soon as i seen this video i swear thought harry maguire has lost weight and fallen so far in life 🤣
This is why I love Touker. He has this child like twinkle in his eye when he gets excited for a product, always puts up a passionate offer, always gets rejected, but has a smile on his face anyway. Love to have a pint with this guy.
Well stated!
So true!
He literally looks like a child lol
Touker is so sweet. I love his very relaxed manner. He is wealthy, and I think he is there for fun.
Touker is awesome for sure.
They made him out to be some right freak with the editing.
he started it by talking about his major and his plans
@@BleachRushno need to hate on ambition
Freak?
Just seems like another typical grifter to me.
Deborah and Nick are no longer shareholders of the company - whether they ever finalised the deal I’m not sure. Business is running with a net worth of £328k and £512k of assets so doing fairly well. Not much growth in the 5 years since this episode
Thank you 🤘
Thank you Joshua. I love you with all my heart.
The deal never finalized.
I couldn’t see anything on companies house showing they bought shares and also on the website they mention about being on dragons den but they don’t mention they got investment. Presumably it was more to just get publicity.
This is the strangest edited pitch I've seen. It went from horror to fun and whimsy pretty quickly
He literally must have hypnotized them. Buys crap on alibaba, sticks his s**t brand on it and has them falling over themselves to invest. No usp, no patents, zero barrier to entry. Insane. This was in 2015 this episode.
Yeah, really strange
And yet he sold 20.000 units, with no marketing or social media budget. A product with no patent or barrier to entry, yet some Dragons knew nothing about it. Meaning the market wasn't saturated. Meaning that they have to move quickly and develop the brand to establish themselves ahead of the competition.
Oh, and the pitch is obviously edited.
@@Erickhetfield fair enough, anyone who sells 20,000 of something has at least got some persistance and ambition. it would have been nice to have known if he made a profit. i think most of us were just surprised that this information was not included in the edit as it normally is.
He conned the Dragons out of 100k. His next pitch is to sell fresh air in a can, captured at the peak of Mt Everest
@@commanderkeen3787 did he con them out of 100k though?
There is a due diligence period after a deal is struck. If a deal is made in the den doesn’t mean the deal came through.
No talk about sales, patents, barriers to entry. He literally bought something on ebay and re- branded it. Than went to China, saw a cheep juicer and did the same lol
That describes 90% of products you see when you scroll through TikTok, FB, and IG. Those products are still a baseline for thousands of multi-million brands. Building an e-commerce brand takes a lot more than just a patent, it's all about marketing and branding.
He said he sold 20.000 units. Iphones are built in China and branded in USA. What's your point?
no
@@Erickhetfield thats very misleading
Iphones are made in china - to apple's design and specifications. They are not a product the chinese already made indendantly that apple engraved their logo on, ehich is the case here
@@MrDomek98 Exactly, I don't think Erick knows about the Chinese trade shows. I could go there and buy 10,000 headphones, purses, make-up kits, and kids toy drones all in the same show. I give them my logo and box design and they'll package them all to my specifications.
Could you make the music a bit louder, I could just about hear it.
If I was in charge of this channel I'd fire the sound editor instantly
The sound is already done for the tv production
Take a joke. They were just having with this pitch because he was a hypnotherapist.
Watch it on mute with captions = solved
this episode clearly was a fun production for the producers and they went with it. chill.
My birbs thought another birb arrived.
4:42 The sad look on Peters face when Ben responds "you gonna buy 10% of the company", to him asking for a discount. Priceless.
Lol. He just wanted the one piece only.
It's edited
Ben should have just said of course, no problem and be optimistic about the fact that Peter liked his product. After all he is there to persuade the investors to part with their money. Wierd to counter that he will give a discount on one measly product IF Peter bought shares in his companies like on what planet does that sound reasonable or fair 🤷🏽♀️ and is he forgetting why he is there and who he is dealing with. Even if was just a cheeky remark he should have followed on by saying said only kidding of course, how many would you like? I'm afraid that was not a good impression on Peter.
@@andreasholmm Muppets
@@lorreba3054 UA-cam commenters do seem to think that A) they are watching this live B) they are better businessmen than Peter Jones lol
Imagine steaming a whole rail of clothes in your front room and by the time you have finished the wallpaper has fell of the walls with the condensation LLF
Then you also market it as a steam wallpaper removal tool......d'uh : )
@@Z4kYb0I .........duh......but u dont want your wallpaper stripped every time you do your clothes do you
@@geoffdundee
I was just joking mate.
Wallpaper? Are you 80?
@@Kem1kal13 .........no but i have class - all folk with good taste have wallpaper..........who wants dull plain emulsion walls?
So basically he just rebrands and sells stuff he finds on Ali and Bangood?
Yupp, that's all it is.
Moe Swartz Yet not everyone makes serious dosh doing the same on Ali and Banggood. Comeon, credit where it's due- he is a businessman.
Aldi do it all the time.
Dragons: WOW! What else you got? A coffee maker? A hammer & nails? We've never used such miracles! Take our 💰 💰 💰!
Hahaha. Oh wow awesome comment 😂😂
Is this a halloween episode? That was scary af.
No surprise when he said he was a hypnotist!
I don’t know I liked him XD
“either at the bottom of the first page or the top of the second” no one makes its that far lmao
Clearly he was early and sold a bunch but now that competition came in he is trying to find partner.
That shot of Peter looking at the steam is one of my favourites
Sarah's view from behind, Phwarrrrrrr
Everyone’s face: 3:09
Shorty got the fatttttttty
Poor man!
This dude nailed it and the sound editing does him a disservice
The moment Touker has given his offer , I knew he is not going clinch the deal , but I wish he got it because I feel he is the best who can run this kind of business
It’s a steamer for clothing…we attach a flow signal to it. It’s red in colour, warning you of the steam
I am confused with this one, he literally went to china, found some products, rebranded them and started selling. The dragons could do that with much less money and much more ease than investing in his business so why were the fighting for a slice? Seems odd to me.
Yeahhhhh I dunno how this one hit
He’s obviously hypnotizing them!
@@melaniekarapetyan9264 He is convincing and likeable .
I’d say it’s a show . Maybe some really investments but in general they’re only there for advertising.
Because those two dragons aren't the sharpest tools in the box
He's now at the top of the first search results page.
I understand a lot of these accepted offers never make it through once the small print is gone over, but in some cases the mere fact that the product gets exposure on DD can have dramatic and positive effects.
I've no doubt the dragons are big on opt-outs and contractual parachutes. They have - on occasion - been fleeced or been willing to invest in a company that turned out to be a real stinker on closer inspection.
We have a Fridja. It also strips wallpaper pretty good, too.
Yeah definitely half of the people with legit business go on DD not necessarily for the money, but the exposure. I wonder how much it costs to go on DD, could be a massive bargain compared to other marketing avenues.
That top of the listings position has now evaporated just like the good reviews of the product
Jenny was offered to be on another series, but after consideration, she was out.
Lol just wants to be on show for herself thats all
How original
Lmao
Give it a rest
🥱
the title starts with Sarah Willinghams Friday Nights so consider my click officially baited before even watching
The cl in click looks like a d.
I worked in a ladies clothes shop 30 years ago and we used the exact same project to smooth out creases when unpacking the clothes to hang them for display. Exactly the same.!!
Exactly. It what dry cleaners use. I too could swear that I was using one in the early 1990’s
Respect on how he thanked Tourker, perfect manners
What century was this filmed in? Steamers aren’t new
I don’t recall him claiming he invented the steamer 😂
Lololololol
@@dannyashh2423 that's true, but they all seem oddly unaware of it
@@davisantos3431 yeah bc they are millionaires. Someone does this for them
3:28 camera man doing an excellent job
Sarah is so hot
He can't even defend properly for United and now he's coming on here.
Haha I thought I saw slab head in the thumbnail
Is it just me or was this episode the weirdest one yet. It almost felt like an April Fools joke, like what the Australian version did. I just couldn't take anything in this episode seriously.
Clothes steamers have been around for years and years. The sales were never mentioned 🤔 good deal though!
His pitch is that it looks a good as it works.
The sales were never mentioned... Incorrect, he said he had sold 20,000 units. 1:23
I really love Nick Jenkins, he rarely ever gets greedy and offers for high amounts of equity, he's polite, concise and makes it clear with what he can bring to investments. One of the best dragons.
2:09 this really is the perfect editing. He and Sarah could totally be in a psycho horror flick together.
Doubled over at his hair flick when Peter got him out of his trance
i know hahahahahahahaha
Brilliant editing for sure! 🤣
And Jenny would be out
More audio production issues with Dragons' Den: at 2:07 I was terrified my speakers were feeding back.
I think that’s just the weird background music. But I agree it sounds like a sound issue because the music is so odd.
I'm only watching cos Sarah is here..
Yup, same here!
@@Persian-Immortal she's wasted on this show
I think that why she left the den.
Dude looks like the actor that plays penguin from Gotham
Such a confusing episode. How have the dragons never heard of a clothes steamer before? They are literally everywhere with all the major brands. This guy comes in with a no name brand bought from China, nothing unique about it, with his logo slapped on and somehow convinced most of them that this was some amazing product.
The show is 10 years old at least. Besides most clearly did know quite a bit about them.
Dragon's Den channel should start including in the description the season and episode from which its videos are taken from
Wow he has a smile and teeth and grin literally the size of the animated Joker character, voiced by Mark Hamill!
Really nice guy, hope he does well
I feel like I'm having a stroke right now, watching a bunch of millionaires ooh and aah over a garment steamer like it's not something you can buy at every department store.
I was just waiting for Peter to come in with that at 1:45 😂
Bro. Screw this high pitch noise. Killing my ears.
I love the updated sound effects
great editing all round - well done DD
Sarah Willingham, hands down fittest dragon ever
Smoking!
Absolutely no talk about any sales. Astounding.
rewatch the vicdeo at 1.25 he has sold 20 000 units
@@benjones6004 think he meant no mention of revenue generated gross/net profits... was none of that, or could have been edited out as the figures wernt the reasons why the other dragons bailed
@YouStink I could tell by watching he knew a lot about psychology and persuasion.
Pitches actually go for 2-3 hours and are edited down. There was a little discussion on camera of this, but no doubt most was off camera. In newer seasons, the people pitching usually know to say this succinctly at the start of the pitch. The real shocker is the morons from modern seasons who still don't talk figures, sales and profits.
I guess it's not always necessary when the entrepreneur and especially the products are so good!
ok the editor had way more fun editing this episode than he should have lol
7:18 Blimey
what
@@proxy7362 7:18 Blimey
Weird sound effects and music lol
He was introduced as a hypnotherapist. That is where they got the woo-woo music from.
true, just because of that hypno thing they tried to spice music effects up a little 😂😂
When he said fridga, I thought it was a small fridge for a single bottle of wine or soda, but no, plot twist, it is a steamer.
Its his surname.
missed a trick there! with a name like Fridger he should be after some chilled products, not a steamer!
did this guy invent steamers? I am confused. I know these videos are old but aren't there loads of steamers out there? What is happening.
Honestly, I watch these videos as much for the Jenny comments as I do for the video itself. You lot make the video so much better with your comments.
WOAH DUDE, I MUST BE REALLY STONED. I CAN'T EVEN SEE JENNY!
If you Google us we're at the top! (ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵉᶜᵒⁿᵈ ᵖᵃᵍᵉ)
I truly can not remember the last time I even scrolled down on the first page
For such a broad term, its actually not bad.
Search Engine 🚂 optimization negga.
If I was a hypnotist, I'd have had them eating onions and thinking they were in a rowing boat being chased by sharks.
This episode was so weird, never seen this in any other episodes before:
- Different music
- Different editing
- Weird effect
- Voice levels are not the usual
What was the concept here?
They were trying to trip you out, with him studying hypnosis and all that. To be honest, I was also like wtf. However I got what they were "trying" to do lol.
I agree... weird effects....
Spooky style mainly
I liked it lol. But the reason I watch dragons den instead of shark tank is because it’s less theatrical.
Global warming must be hurting this company
No different from an electric iron fundamentally. So not really
I am REALLY failing to understand HOW ON EARTH the dragons are talking about "You've Done Well" - when he hasn't invented ANYTHING or has a Patent etc.... Everything that they ALWAYS bring up
Surely most steam cleaners can do that and they clean as well, you can't mop the floor with this.
A steam iron and a juicer what a bizarre combo
Real title:
*Noel fielding sells wallpaper steamer*
Just don't get why they're all blown away by the steamer. I was using those in clothing stores when I worked retail 30 years ago...
You want to turn that off before you run out of steam….. classic Peter Jones 😂
2:05 jesus, thought my tinnitus came back there for a minute...
Who is tinnitus? please
Cheers for the heads up
@@barteatmyshorts8252 a little elf who lives inside your ears
@@urfavoritehumanbean879 Yeah, and he's a total dick at that lol!
lol people don't look past the first 3 results, who will press on the 2nd page
Straight facts
There's a second page?
maybe the majority who all do same...I look on second page, could be a better option, all part of doing thorough research my friend
Dragon's Den, please ever do the horror thing again. It looked like something from Britain's Got Talent
He seems like a really nice fellow. Hope it all worked out.
He seems to be doing well. Company had over 200k profit in 2018.
Where did you see that? The balance sheet from 2019 showed the company has £279,000 in reserve. If he wound up the business he'd walk away with a nice sum of money!
What on earth was that creepy thing sith eyes about at 2:15
I love Sarah Willingham. She is so incredibly down to earth, always really polite and friendly. She doesn't suit being a nasty dragon at all.
I get excited watching Sarah steam ironing😉
Team @ Dragons Den: Please consider this my official application to become your audio engineer. Your shows audio levels are absolutely awful almost every single episode, and worst still they're not even consistent. It's like you give the job of balancing your tracks to a random, new intern every single time and they all invariably fail miserably. It frankly beggars belief that nobody at whichever production house responsible hasn't stopped and said "my dudes, the music on this episode is about 4 times louder than the dragons. Is this normal?". Here is my proposition, which you absolutely need to take because amateur 13 year olds can mix better than your guys: I will balance the tracks of all of your episodes as they are produced AND I am willing to do it for 5 quid and a twix per episode. Don't be embarrassed, this is an issue you share with almost every blockbuster film produced since 2006. LMK.
I'm glad someone else noticed.
I like your pitch, but I would also do it for a fiver, but for just 25% of a twix..
If you get this mad about the audio from DD clips, I pray you never come across a show called Shark Tank
@@mi4johns I only watch commonwealth DD programs, Shark Tank AUS is great
Twix is such a 13 year old kid's 'chocolate' though
Not sure if it's my hangover... but did anyone else find the high pitches at 2:05 and 4:50 extremely irritating? Hopefully there's no more cause I want to finish watching lol
The click bait title got me ngl
That music, oy.
When Peter calls him "Ben" and there's a phwup sound as he turns his head... he's Batman.
why did they edit his eyes to look dead and play harry potter music at 2:15
He has a master's in hypnotherapy. I guess they wanted it to look like he used his powers on the dragons. 😂😵
The higher you are the weirder that bit is.
Haha
The next pitch was for an electric can opener and the dragons were equally excited.
What year is this from? Cuz I cannot believe they haven't seen a steamer to iron clothes
Thank you! I've had one for over 15 years that cost about $50. It's not a new or an unattainable product.
Around 2015. Still in business.
Yeah this is a re-upload, I watched this video quite some time ago...
lol so many funny things about this episode lol peters face after he asked to buy one
they should send Rory to China
there's maybe a steamer for finding seawed
This product is great for steamed hams.
You call them that despite the fact they’re obviously grilled
I thought we were having steamed clams
Aurora Borealis
Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within the Dragons Den!?
@@LostJourneyUnderClouds yes
The edit.. when he hypnotize 😂
The accompanying music is getting worse, time by time.....
I know right! Way too loud can barely hear them over it
What is up with the new sound effect edit on the recent uploads. Pls upload the way they were aired.
I noticed that too. I figured it could have been the way that the original episode was done...with a different sound team...
Horror movie sound effects 😢😢😂😂
The way this one is edited, omgosh 😂😂😂
so is no one going to talk about the fact that his eyes turned gray at 02:20 but at 02:23 it had more of a color XD
Let’s talk about the clickbait thumbnail highly implying Sarah is going to be playing with a certain kind of similar looking… toy 👀
It’s always pleased me to know that Sarah’s ham is willing! I would!
Bloody peter ,can I have a discount,he can afford to pay full price .cheeky sod .
My ears in the headphones, ow that wasn’t fair sound guy!
Steamers are so much better, I have a standard cheap one, plug in, takes seconds to iron anything, dont even need a board, I just hold it up in the air and iron, come out perfect, shirts, what ever
Why the heck does Deborah need 4 different steamers?!?
her skin
One of those guys who's really popular, but no one really knows why..
I love this channel.
From the US here and Dragons Den is much preferable to the Shark Tank.
Totally agree!
The dragons are bigger assholes than the US sharks and much poorer. These guys rarely give more than a 100k whereas the sharks have offered millions.
Well, it was a Japanese show originally, then Dragons' Den used the format starting back in mid 2000s.
Slabhead Maguire? 🤔🤣
Hopefully he still gets time on weekends to continue playing in his Beatles tribute band.
I read this before I saw him and burst out laughing once the elevator doors opened to reveal his face 😂
LOL!!!!
Whoever reads this, keep grinding don’t give up.
This type of comment is so cringe.... if youre reading this have a great day... im desperate to seem like a nice person and want reassurance
@@royfr8136 It also means they consider us normal people on the same level as child molesters.
@@royfr8136 he's a one of those new age entrepreneurs that speak in quotes and try and 'spread positivity' across their social media. You know the type they say things like _rise and grind_ and they spend all their time posting things about being an entrepreneur when in reality they're a social media 'personality'
I liked the comment, might help someone that needs to hear it
He should have gone back to the two that partnered at 10% and then offered the same slice to Touker who gets more bang for his buck - he leaves with 3 dragons at 30%. Anyway, really hope the lad succeeds.
Touker cud put the steamers in his offices if they failed to sell.
The investment didn't go through. He is still in business though, 100% ownership
He has a whole bunch of products Kline by the looks of it and I’m thinking of getting a gift of one for my girlfriend now.
@DUKE LANGUAGE CENTER 😐
The sound guy is trolling this channel at this point. He's given up completely
Wait, you think there's a single guy making this sounds specifically for youtube? And that nobody checks the episode before releasing it?
@@KlawMan27 pretty much judging by the sound quality.
That's how it sounded on tv most of the time
Dragons den should play the clip of their favourite dragon at the end of the vid to see if the entrepreneur got them.
