Davids Hyams walked into the Den in Season 17, Episode 14 in the episode that aired 12 April 2020. Talkies, the electronic greeting cards, pitched in the Electronics category, one of 26 electronics businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

On the carpet, the number was £100,000 for a 12.5% stake, which valued the company at £800K.

The dragons passed, and Talkies left without a deal. That's not always the end of the story. Some of Dragons’ Den's most successful companies were rejected on air and grew anyway, using the exposure (the "Dragons’ Den effect") to drive sales the dragons missed out on.

Talkies was one of 69 businesses to pitch in Season 17, where 26 deals got done. In the Electronics category overall, roughly 46% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
