The popular show features aspiring entrepreneurs as they pitch their business ideas to five multi-millionaire investors, consisting of Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones and Steven Bartlett and recently wrapped up its 21st season, with BBC One currently airing repeats of season 19.

Originally slated to air tonight, the episode is no longer in the schedules but viewers can catch up on all the action on BBC iPlayer, with all episodes of the reality series available to stream on the site now.

But what is replacing the Dragon's Den slot? Read on for everything you need to know.

Why isn't Dragons' Den on TV tonight?

In place of Dragons' Den will be a new BBC Panorama investigation, titled Big Brands' Green Claims Uncovered.

The hour-long special will investigate "the green projects that say they can help brands cancel out their carbon emissions", noting that many brands such as technology and energy companies have stated they are "doing their bit for the environment".

The synopsis adds: "But do the claims stack up?"

There will be no Dragons' Den next week either, with the Eurovision Song Contest semi-final airing in the 8pm slot on Thursday 9th May.
