UKTV Gold

UKTV Gold was launched on 1 November 1992 and then it was called UK Gold (this is what I still call this channel cant get use to name changes) now the channel is called G.O.L.D which stands for Go On Laugh Daily which I think is great because for me this is what this channel does for me. G.O.L.D is a channel you have to pay for and is shown on sky, virgin and top up TV. The channel does stop running around 3am and starts again at 6am. There is also a G.O.L.D +1 which shows the same as G.O.L.D but an hour later. The main shows shown on G.O.L.D is mainly British comedy programmes these tend to be a combination of repeats of shows shown the BBC ...  Read the complete review

G.O.L.D. (Go on Laugh Daily - seriously, this is what it stands for now!), was, as other reviewers have said, UKTV Gold. The trouble with this is that they've changed the name of the channel and they've changed the number I have to tap into my remote to watch it, but the content has remained the same. For some, it may be great to have 'The Royle Family', 'Only Fools and Horses', 'Open All Hours', 'The Vicar of Dibley', etc. on repeat ALL the time; which for the first six months to a year of receiving the channel was fine. However, it is now repeats and re-runs 'ad nauseum'. They often have a comedy film on a Friday evening, which can be ...  Read the complete review

G.O.L.D, recently changed name from UK GOLD, is the main channel of UKTV and is not a free channel. It is available on free view but an additional fee is required. it is also available on sky, virgin media and Tiscili TV. The channel mainly shows lots of BBC comedies so if you are into comedy tv this channel is probably the one for you, it is one of my favorites. G.O.L.D is one of my most watched channels because i am so addicted to comedies and if you are to, you will love it. This channel airs more of the comedy classics however and less of the modern comedies like scrubs for example. However G.O.LD does air lots of modern great films which is an extra ...  Read the complete review

This channel has recently been rebranded as G.O.L.D and can be found on Sky channel 110. There is also a +1 hour channel as well. You would think this channel would be right next to the original one? No, it is way up as channel 133. Anyway what is this channel and is it any good? Depends what you like. This is all older shows and mainly british sitcom. So what shows can I expect to see on here? The 2 ronnies Only fools and horses Ever decreasing circles Last of the summer wine The good life Duty free The vicar of dibly My family One foot in the grave Keping up appearances To the manor born the ...  Read the complete review

UKTV Gold is one of those safe channels that you can always find something to watch on. The reason for this is the fact that it primarily shows classic British comedies. On my Virgin cable package it can be found on channel 124 with a one hour delay channel on 125 so you have two chances to watch each show. The downside to this channel is that the entiure schedule is made up of repeats but in most cases these comedies are of such good standard and quality they are the sort of shows that you are quite happy to watch over and over again. They also have the occasional film which is also a comedy with films such as Trading Places and A Fish Called ...  Read the complete review
