Can graffiti be turned into a money-spinning business?

Hopeful entrepreneurs pitch to the multimillionaire investors. A falcon accompanies Layla Bennett into the Den. The bird plays an important part in her pest control business.

Across this series the multimillionaires invest in more companies than ever before. How will this episode's crop of entrepreneurs fare?

The Dragons have shown willingness to invest in the best business deals offered them, but they won't risk their cash on those without money-making potential. More entrepreneurs ascend the stairs to see what the multimillionaires will make of their idea.

There is an unusual visitor in this episode, as Monty the falcon accompanies Layla Bennett from Powys into the Den. The bird plays an important part in Layla's pest control business - but will he help her hunt down an investment? Lisa Marshall and Shelene Mitchell have an invention which takes the old-fashioned hanging basket to new heights. Now they need the Dragons to help their business grow. And can graffiti be turned into a money-spinning business? Tim Williams and Tom Hogan think they have the technical wizardry to make it happen - but the writing will be on the wall for the innovative pair if they can't convince the Dragons.
