The Dave Channel

DAVE is the ultimate man channel. The channel basically focuses around playing replays of programmes such as top gear, fifth gear, dragons den, mock the week etc. The channel also shows clip shows with funny clips. Dave is available on freeview which is excellent as well as sky and virgin. It is a great channel to relax and watch on a sunday afternoon. The main problem with the channel is the fact that they constantly replay the same shows so you will most likely find yourself watching the same thing over and over. Compared to most of the poor channels to get with freeview Dave is actually good. There is another channel called Dave-Ja-Vu which basically ...  Read the complete review

The Dave Channel Description: Dave, previously UKTV G2 www.uktv.co.uk/Dave Dave is available on Freeview channel 19, along with Dave-ja-vu on 25, and you can watch Dave on Sky channel 111. You have probably seen the chanel advertised with it's slogan of "Dave, the home of witty banter". Dave tends to show lots of old favourites, so when it first came out, I did watch it a lot to catch up with things that I hadn't watched for ages. Programmes include Top Gear, Dragon's Den, Mock the Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Who's line is it Anyway, QI, Live at the Appollo and Red Dwarf. The programmes do tend ...  Read the complete review

Initially launched in 1998 as UK Gold Classics, then renamed UK Gold 2, then renamed UKTV G2 before finally being relaunched under its current moniker, channel Dave shows reruns of popular comedy and light entertainment shows.

Dave is on channel 19 (freeview) or sky 111. I have a freeview box and Dave+1 (Dave Ja Vu) is on channel 25. The channel was previously called UK TV Gold 2, but it was renamed Dave as during it's relaunch it was decided that the programmes would be aimed towards men and 'everybody has a mate called Dave' Programmes include Top Gear, Dragon's Den, Mock the Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Red Dwarf. All of these episodes are repeats, mostly of programmes shown on the BBC. More recently, they aired their first original mini series; Red Dwarf: Back To Earth which was set after the end of series 8. Although it's aimed towards men, I really like the ...  Read the complete review

Dave TV has to be the best TV station there is. First up, the name is just so inventive: I love it. This TV station shows a lot of brilliant shows, and multiple episodes of them. Go here if you like Top Gear, Whose Line is it Anyway or Dragons Den, as the station is filled with them. There are adverts, which is a pain, but if you can put up with them you'll enjoy it. Personally I watch it for the following two shows: WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY: A comedy show based on a group of comedians giving improvised performances revolving around props, scenarios and songs. The show began in the 80s on UK TV, but now resides in the US, and is hosted by Drew Carrey, with ...  Read the complete review
