BBC Studios will transfer production of Dragons’ Den to its Glasgow hub starting in 2022. This move is expected to create new opportunities for editorial and production management staff based in Scotland.

The Factual Entertainment team in Scotland, led by Adeline Ramage Rooney, will oversee the production. The upcoming twentieth series will be the first produced from Glasgow, although studio recordings for that series will continue in Manchester.

BBC Studios already produces shows such as Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby and The Weakest Link from its Pacific Quay offices in Glasgow. Amazing Hotels moved its production from London to Glasgow for its third series in late 2019, and the fourth series is also being made there.

Dragons’ Den will return to BBC One in the New Year with its nineteenth series. The panel will include Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and Sara Davies, joined by Steven Bartlett, a 29-year-old entrepreneur, podcast host, and Sunday Times best-selling author, who becomes the youngest Dragon in the show’s history.

Hannah Wyatt, Managing Director for Factual Entertainment and Events Productions at BBC Studios, described the move as a positive step, similar to the recent relocation of Top Gear to Bristol. She expressed confidence that Scottish talent will bring fresh perspectives and ideas, and noted that the Glasgow hub is becoming one of the company’s most creative and productive bases.

Dragons’ Den is produced by BBC Studios, with Chi Ukairo as Executive Producer, Samantha Davies as Series Editor, and Sarah Clay as Commissioning Editor for the BBC.
