BBC Two originally commissioned and broadcast the British television programme Dragons' Den.
The series launched on BBC Two in 2005, bringing the Japanese-originated investment format to a British audience. Its central idea is simple: entrepreneurs present businesses to investors and request money for a stated percentage of ownership.
BBC Two is a television channel operated by the BBC and has traditionally carried factual, arts, comedy and specialist programming. Because the programme later became strongly associated with the BBC more generally, some viewers remember BBC One as its original home. The launch channel, however, was BBC Two, and the programme's early identity was built there.
