The British television programme Dragons' Den originally broadcast on BBC Two.
The first episode of the UK series was shown on BBC Two on 4 January 2005. BBC Two was the channel associated with the programme during its early run, when entrepreneurs began presenting companies and products to a panel of potential investors.
The channel is an important detail because the programme belongs to the BBC’s factual and entertainment output rather than being a commercial broadcaster’s original format. BBC Two has also been strongly associated with factual series, documentaries and specialist entertainment, making it a natural home for a business-pitch programme.
Later scheduling and related broadcasts can lead to confusion about the channel. Viewers may remember repeats, online availability or other versions of the format appearing elsewhere. The answer concerns the UK programme’s original television broadcaster, not an overseas edition of Dragons' Den.
