BBC Two first broadcast the television series Dragon's Den in the United Kingdom.
The programme debuted on BBC Two in 2005 as a British adaptation of the Japanese Money Tigers format. Its premise was simple but distinctive: entrepreneurs entered a room, presented their businesses and sought financial backing from a panel of wealthy investors in exchange for equity.
BBC Two has traditionally carried factual, documentary, arts and specialist programming alongside entertainment, making it the channel associated with the show's original launch. The series later became a major BBC brand, but its first home remains an important identifying fact.
The channel can be confused with BBC One because the programme became widely known across the United Kingdom. It can also be confused with BBC Three or BBC Four because those channels broadcast other factual and entertainment series. The original UK transmission was specifically on BBC Two.
