In the UK television show Dragon's Den, which broadcaster originally commissioned the series?

The story behind the answer

The UK television show Dragon's Den was originally commissioned for BBC Two.

The series began on BBC Two in January 2005, introducing British viewers to entrepreneurs seeking investment from a panel of business people. Its early episodes established the familiar presentation style: a founder enters the den, describes a company or product, and asks for a stated amount of money in exchange for a percentage of the business.

BBC Two has historically carried many factual, documentary, and factual-entertainment programmes, making it the original home of Dragon's Den. Later scheduling changes and special programming have not altered the series' original broadcaster.

A common mix-up is confusing the British programme with Dragons' Den adaptations in other countries. The BBC Two answer refers specifically to the original UK version, not to the international franchise.
