DiamondGeezer.com were delighted to welcome James Caan, famous for Dragon’s Den but also a very well respected business financier, to their offices in Bourton-on-the-Water on the 1st. July (2009). James was there to film the ‘where-are-they-now’ version of Dragons’ Den for series 7 of the hit BBC show which will be aired by the BBC in the Autumn. Clive Billing, DiamondGeezer.com founder and owner famously turned down the highest ever offer made by the Dragons, Peter, Theo and James, because ‘they wanted too much of his established family business’.

During the course of the day’s filming Clive and co-director, son Luke presented James with a stunning diamond set palladium Dragon lapel pin. Michael-John, DiamondGeezer.com’s resident cad-cam designer used the company’s cutting-edge computer-aided-design technogly to take Diamond Geezer Clive’s dragon concept to new heights . Then the inimitable traditional skill-set of DiamondGeezer.com’s jewellery craftsmen bought this stunning piece to life . James a self confessed lover of bling was delighted with his diamond-set Dragon pin and seemed sure that it would attract the envy of the other Dragons, which seemed to hit the spot.

Great brand name, well chosen

Although Diamond Geezer didn’t post the ‘Entrepreneur Breaks Dragon’s Den Rule’ video on youtube.com, Diamond Geezer wondered if ‘you-tubers’ would welcome a little input from the ‘horse’s-mouth’, or maybe that should be the sacrificial lamb.

Remember that the Diamond Geezer television image was created in a BBC cutting-room.

OF COURSE Diamond Geezer didn’t break any rules else the film wouldn’t have even been made let alone broadcast. OF COURSE Diamond Geezer had total BBC clearance and was squeaky clean and there’s a nice bit of film somewhere on a BBC cutting room floor that proves this. OF COURSE that didn’t make the final cut. It’s much better TV and almost essential on Dragons’ Den these days that the entrepreneur starts with a oral beating, public crucifixion and verbal castration; but hey – stick you head up and expect it to be shot off, it ‘kinda’ goes with the territory.

Please remember you can’t get on the show until the BBC have competed a full and detailed due-diligence, 68 detailed documents in our case, and it’s very, very strict. You have no input on the final-cut and the first time you see what they made of you, is on first airing. GULP! you then share it with 4 million viewers.

There is a very interesting twist to the tale, however to tell would compromise Deborah and Diamond Geezer is too much of a gentleman to do that to a really lovely lady.

And finally please remember that 3 Dragons wanted in, Diamond Geezer turned THEM down, they simply couldn’t agree terms. It was Diamond Geezer that declared himself ‘OUT’. That said it’s a very LARGE given that Diamond Geezer WILL miss the opportunity of working with James, Theo and Peter. It was the RIGHT decision and the whole experience was amazing and has lifted the DiamondGeezer.com profile immensely.
