The Pitch on Dragons' Den UK

Awaydays appeared on Dragons' Den UK (Series 1, Episode 3) in 2005. Kevin Sampson pitched the product to the Dragons. No deal.

Where they are now: Awayday's pitch failed as the dragons felt Sampson would not return the investment in a reasonable timeframe whilst also suggesting the show's format was not fit for such an investment. The proposed equity returns were not broadcast. The film was released in 2009 grossing $131,265 at the box office. Status: Released (2009).
