The BBC has aired the British television programme Dragon's Den since its debut.
The show was launched on BBC Two in 2005 and became one of the broadcaster's best-known factual entertainment formats. Entrepreneurs present business ideas to a panel of investors, seeking money in exchange for an ownership stake in their company.
The BBC production is distinct from similarly named international versions. For example, Canada's version is broadcast by CBC, while the United States format is known as Shark Tank. The UK programme retained the “Dragons” branding and developed its own panel and presenter history.
BBC One later became an important home for the programme as its audience grew. The broadcaster's scheduling history is therefore broader than its original BBC Two run, but “BBC” is the canonical answer to the question of who airs the British series.
