Who presented the UK television programme Dragon's Den from its second series onward?

The story behind the answer

Evan Davis presented the UK television programme Dragon's Den from its second series onward.

Davis became the programme's presenter after Adrian Chiles, who hosted the first series. He brought a journalist's interviewing style to the format, introducing entrepreneurs, explaining the proposed businesses and helping viewers follow the negotiations.

The presenter is not one of the Dragons. The Dragons are the investors who decide whether to make offers, while the presenter provides continuity and asks questions around the pitch. This distinction matters because Davis is closely associated with the show even though he does not sit on the investment panel.

Davis is also known for his work as a BBC journalist and presenter, including presenting the BBC News programme Newsnight. His Dragon's Den role helped make the business format accessible to a general television audience.
