Which British broadcaster originally launched Dragon's Den?

BBC Two originally launched the British television show Dragon's Den.

The programme joined the BBC Two schedule in 2005, presenting entrepreneurs seeking investment from a panel of business figures. BBC Two has historically carried factual, cultural, educational, and specialist entertainment programming, making it the original home of this business-focused reality series.

The show is often associated simply with the BBC, which can lead to confusion between BBC Two and BBC One. The more precise answer is BBC Two, the channel that first broadcast the British version. Later scheduling and related programmes do not change its original broadcaster.

Dragon's Den should also be distinguished from similarly named international editions. Those versions were produced for other national broadcasters, while the British programme began as a BBC Two production and became one of the BBC's best-known factual entertainment formats.
