Robert Berge walked into the Den in Season 5, Episode 1 in the episode that aired 15 October 2007. Furriballs, the fur based exercise and birth swiss balls, pitched in the Other category, one of 902 other businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

On the carpet, the number was £70,000 for a 20% stake, which valued the company at £350K.

The dragons passed, and Furriballs left without a deal. That's not always the end of the story. Some of Dragons’ Den's most successful companies were rejected on air and grew anyway, using the exposure (the "Dragons’ Den effect") to drive sales the dragons missed out on.

Furriballs was one of 79 businesses to pitch in Season 5, where 15 deals got done. In the Other category overall, roughly 11% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
