John French walked into the Den in Season 8, Episode 8 in the episode that aired 31 August 2010. Paintapron, the box attached to harness to aid diy, pitched in the Other category, one of 902 other businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

The dragons passed, and Paintapron 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.

Paintapron was one of 81 businesses to pitch in Season 8, where 17 deals got done. In the Other category overall, roughly 11% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
