Evan Davis presented the BBC television series Dragons' Den from its first episode in 2005.
Davis is a British economist, journalist and broadcaster who became widely known through BBC television and radio. His role in Dragons' Den was to introduce the entrepreneurs, explain the investment pitches and guide viewers through negotiations with the Dragons.
The programme began in the United Kingdom in 2005 as a British adaptation of the Japanese format Money Tigers. Davis became the consistent on-screen link between the entrepreneurs and the investor panel, although the Dragons themselves changed across different series.
A common mix-up is confusing the presenter with an investor. Davis was never one of the Dragons; his job was to host the pitch process. The BBC programme also has international versions and regional adaptations, so presenters in other countries are different.
