Which British broadcaster airs Dragon's Den?

The BBC airs the British television programme Dragon's Den.

The series was launched by BBC Two in 2005 and later became part of BBC One’s factual-entertainment schedule. It is produced for the BBC and features entrepreneurs pitching companies, products or business ideas to investors known as Dragons.

The programme belongs to a wider international franchise based on the Japanese format Money Tigers. Different countries have produced their own versions, which is why viewers may encounter similarly named shows on other broadcasters. The Canadian version, for example, is associated with CBC, while the American adaptation is Shark Tank.

The broadcaster is sometimes confused with the network carrying a local adaptation in another country. This question concerns the original British programme specifically. The BBC’s public-service identity and the show’s long-running presence make it one of the broadcaster’s best-known business formats.
