Evan Davis presented every episode of the first series of the British television show Dragon's Den.
Davis is a British journalist, broadcaster and economist who became the programme's original presenter when it launched in 2005. He introduced the entrepreneurs, explained the pitch-room stakes and guided viewers through the investors' negotiations.
His role was separate from that of the Dragons. The investors decided whether to make offers, while Davis supplied continuity and translated parts of the business discussion for the audience. His calm interviewing style became closely associated with the early BBC series.
Viewers sometimes confuse the presenter with one of the investors because Davis frequently stood in the pitch room and questioned contestants. He did not invest as a Dragon. His later broadcasting career included work with the BBC's news and current-affairs programmes.
