The team pitch a new invention to Dragons' Den. Prison-based sitcom starring Harry Hill.

Governor Harry senses his fortune might be made when Prisoner Brandreth invents a clever new device for opening plastic bags. All they need now is funding from Dragons' Den...

When Governor Harry is accused of not mucking in, he is soon mucking out, bagging up guillemots droppings from The Egg's helipad. But when he finds it hard to open one of the waste bags, Prisoner Gyles Brandreth offers a solution - an invention he made in the prison workshop to open them more easily...an invention so good it could make him millions. So he and the team set about pitching the bag-opening device to Dragons' Den, in the hope of securing funding from Deborah Meaden. Will they end up "bagging" an investment, or will their pitch end in a poo-pooing?
