The British TV show Dragon's Den originally launched on BBC Two. The channel became the programme's home when the first UK series was broadcast in 2005.
BBC Two has traditionally been associated with factual, documentary and specialist programming, making it a natural setting for a business series focused on entrepreneurship and investment. Dragon's Den combines factual entertainment with practical questions about company finances, while the Dragons' reactions provide the dramatic structure.
The programme's channel is often confused with BBC One because later series became a major mainstream success and attracted a broad audience. BBC Three is another possible mix-up because it is also a BBC channel, but it was not the original home of the series. The UK programme is also distinct from international versions, which have appeared on different broadcasters and may use different titles, hosts and investor panels.
