The Pitch on Dragons' Den UK
Res Ipsa Club appeared on Dragons' Den UK (Series 2, Episode 6) in 2005. Craig Ian McAlpine pitched the product to the Dragons. No deal.
Where they are now: Res Ipsa Club's pitch failed due to the dragons citing McAlpine's valuation as over inflated due to Bannatyne's admission that he was buying such businesses for a quarter of the valuation pitched. Terms of equity not broadcast.
