The UK television programme Dragons' Den originally launched on BBC Two.
The first British series was broadcast in 2005 on BBC Two, where the format quickly became known for direct negotiations between entrepreneurs and investors. Contestants entered the studio, presented their businesses and asked for money in exchange for a percentage of ownership.
BBC Two was historically associated with factual, arts, entertainment and specialist programming, making it a natural home for a business-focused reality format. Dragons' Den later became one of the BBC's best-known factual-entertainment programmes.
The channel is sometimes confused with BBC One because the show became widely recognised across the United Kingdom. However, its original BBC home was BBC Two, not the corporation's main general-entertainment channel.
