The British television series Dragons' Den was first broadcast on BBC Two.
The programme premiered on BBC Two in 2005, introducing British viewers to entrepreneurs seeking investment from a panel of wealthy businesspeople. Its early broadcasts established the format of a pitch followed by detailed questioning about sales, costs, ownership and valuation.
The series later moved to BBC One, giving it a larger mainstream audience. This move is sometimes confused with the programme's launch, but the original channel was BBC Two. The show is produced for the BBC and is based on a Japanese format that was adapted in several countries.
BBC Two is the channel answer, rather than the BBC as a general organisation. That distinction matters because the programme's later BBC One broadcasts are often more familiar to viewers who discovered it after the move.
