00:00I went on Dragon's Den to try and get to the next step really in my business and the pitch

00:11was really looking for a franchise. So in Kent, obviously where I am, it's fully booked until

00:192026. I was just looking to franchise to see if we could start, you know, looking after hens in

00:28different areas. Yes, so I'm a big fan of Dragon's Den, particularly Debra Meaden. She's my favourite

00:36and she loves her animals just like I do. So for me it was, yeah, really scary. Like

00:46you see it on the telly and then you're standing in front of them. It is bizarre but it is exactly

00:53what you see on the television in terms of the atmosphere, the arguing, you know, the bickering

01:02between all of the dragons. It was the scariest thing I've ever done but overall amazing, I've got

01:11to say. From the very beginning to, you know, being on the set with production and everyone,

01:20even in front of the dragons, it was just, yeah, it was incredible. It's, I can't really even put

01:28it into words how great it was. So I'm gonna cringe watching it, I think. I don't particularly

01:36enjoy watching myself on TV but, yeah, I think I'll get a couple of my more well-behaved hens

01:44indoors and we'll sit and watch it together. It's going to be a great platform for my business,

01:51it's going to be seen by millions of people. So, I mean, what more could you ask for in terms of that really?
