Advantages: Funny, Informative

Disadvantages: Replays shows, would like some very recent broadcasts

I think our televisions were in need of a channel like Dave. A channel with comedy shows and quiz shows showing all day, non-stop. Now showing on channel 19, on freeview, I think it's one of the best channels at the moment because of it's witty banter! The What I find really great as well is that they stopped using UKTV History just for evening installments and got their own channel so viewers could tune into the channel not only in the evening but in the morning aswell and has allowed them to provide more shows for us to watch. That's for me though, you might have Sky, in which it shows on channel 111 or Virgin TV showing it on channel 128. Because it's becoming very successful it's more high profile now and more people are talking about it. I've got to to give it to them for letting us have more access to see shows we used to only get to see on some channels a few hours a week. The one thing i could say is a let down, is the fact they replay old episodes on some shows, but i guess that could be a positive thing, as you may have missed out on some important episodes of a comedy series and Dave is there for you to catch up!

They broadcast shows such as:

Top Gear, a show which gives information about cars and shows challenges which are thought to be impossible but are achieved by presenters, Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May. One of the best shows on Dave!

Little Britain, written by comedians Matt Lucas and David Walliams. On this programme you get to see hilarious sketches composed by the writers themselves, and really is a laugh to watch!

Dragons Den, a show where 5 successful millionaires judge peoples presentations on business ideas, and they have to decide whether they're worthy entreupeners and get to walk away with their money.

This channel also broadcasts quiz shows such as Mock the Week, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, Who's Line is it Anyway?, Have I Got News For You and other shows in which famous comedians battle it out and compete against each other in order to win the game.

Also, shows which come in the category of gadgets, stand up comedy, sitcoms, travel, survival, reality and much more are all on this channel! I do remember one time they had the talk show, 'Friday Night with Johnathon Ross' but that was before he infamously offended Andrew Sachs and was suspended from BBC. I really think it's worth at least taking a look at as it's a really entertaining channel, and I'm sure you'll agree and it will be hard to get bored when you can watch this.

Summary: Great programme, once you watch the shows, you can't stop!
