According to IMDB, US version started in 2004, UK version 2005
According to wikipedia, the US one came first

but the US version wasn't first shown here until after the UK version
The first series of the US original was aired on BBC2 from October 2004.
The first UK series did not air until February 2005.

It appears that creator Mark Burnett insisted on the US version of the show being aired before any licensed local versions.
In defence of my earlier posting these are the dates given by IMDB:

UK version shown 16 February 2005 http://www.imdb.com/t...tt0450897/releaseinfo

US version shown in UK 22 June 2005 http://www.imdb.com/t...tt0364782/releaseinfo
I also checked IMDb and noticed the date discrepency. My own recall of the earlier broadcast of the US version prompted me to delve further...
