The British TV series Dragons' Den first broadcast on BBC Two in 2005.
The programme premiered on 4 January 2005, adapting the international Dragons' Den format for a British audience. Entrepreneurs present business proposals to wealthy investors, known as dragons, and seek investment in exchange for a share of their company.
BBC Two was the BBC channel associated with the show's launch and its early run. The series became one of the channel's best-known factual-entertainment programmes, combining business advice, negotiation and high-pressure television drama. It later developed a substantial audience and became an established part of British popular culture.
The show is sometimes confused with BBC One because several high-profile BBC programmes later moved between channels or received major promotional coverage. However, the original British series began specifically on BBC Two, making that channel the canonical answer.
