BBC Two has broadcast the British television show Dragons' Den since its launch.
The programme premiered on BBC Two in January 2005 and became a regular part of the channel's factual-entertainment schedule. Its episodes follow entrepreneurs seeking financial backing from a panel of investors, with the negotiations edited into a fast-moving television pitch format.
BBC Two is distinct from BBC One, the corporation's principal mainstream channel. Dragons' Den is also separate from international programmes using the same format, including Canada's Dragons' Den and the United States version Shark Tank. The title and investor terminology vary by country, but the business-pitch structure comes from the same Japanese-origin format.
