Play UK Reviews

On it's launch it was hot, the only music/comedy channel in the UK was really set to take off but the comedy isn't great and there isn't enough music. Half of the time when I turnover there's interviews, reviews or adverts. The comedy aspect features shows such as 'The Royle Family' and 'The Fast Show', the comedy ...  Read the complete review

Play UK, shows (as I'm sure you already know from other reviews on dooyoo) a mixture of music and comedy. This has a distinctly BBC2 flavour, as its target audience is similar and it is largly owned by the BBC. But, all that aside, is it any good? What does it show? Play UK, despite showing some new series, shows largely BBC ...  Read the complete review

The "UKtv" brand of satellite/digital channels has certainly proved successful. Their range of channels certainly aims to cater for almost every kind of person, what with channels such as the "repeats channel", UK Gold, UK Horizons, et al, and the breakaway, newly renamed UK Play - oops, I mean PlayUK! Certainly ...  Read the complete review

The channel is ...  Read the complete review

It’s two best programmes are Goodness Gracious Me and The Fast Show. The are showed regularly and are sometimes repeated. As it is owned by the BBC, it has many other ...  Read the complete review

I have heard mixed responses about UKPlay but I have to admit that I quite enjoy watching it on occasions. Billed as "The UK’s only music and comedy channel" it is from the same stable as UKGold, and thus shows mainly BBC1 and BBC2 repeats. However, Play also has some of its own programming such as the Top Of The Pops ...  Read the complete review

UK Play is the music channel from the people at the UK TV network. And while it so obviously tries to compete with, and beat MTV it falls so short of the mark. On MTV everyday there is a program called MTV Select, a live show with interviews, chart run downs etc. Guess what, at the same time on UK Play you can see TOTP@Play, a completely ...  Read the complete review

LEAGUE of GEMTLEMEN 4. SHOOTING STARS 5. THE ROYLE FAMILY If the thought of The Fast Show shown once a night gets you going ...  Read the complete review

I love all the UK TV Channels but PLAY UK has got to be one of my favourites, I really like the fact that it’s a mixture of comedy and music. One of my favourite shows is “Top of the Pops at Play” a new show which takes on the TOTP brand, its a show where you phone up have a chat and select a song, watch interviews or even ...  Read the complete review

I do like this channel as it has some quite good comedy that I haven't seen for along time like Shooting Stars, Vic and Bob, Jack Dee. The theme months are quite good as well, July was Vic Reeves month, June I think was the League of Gentlemen so you get to see all the episodes not just a selected repeat every now and again. This is quite ...  Read the complete review

Another UK Channel and some of the music on this channel is very good the picture quality if fine and the sound is ok but to me it sometimes sounds mono. The channel has its own programming like the phone Zone and some very nice quiz shows which I enjoy watching. Again with the UK channels you tend to get a lot of programmes that ...  Read the complete review

UK Play is an unusual mix of comedy and music. They play all the latest hits as well as a selection of great comedy shows. This is the place to go if like me you can't get enough of The Fast Show and The League of Gentlemen. Quite often they have 4 hours of these back to back. The excellant League of Gentlemen weekend gave every ...  Read the complete review

Of the nine music channels available to Sky Digital viewers, this is the best. The music isn't the best on all the channels - MTV Base's R&B and hip-hop and MTV2's eclectic mix of alternative styles are both much better - but the channel overall is much better. Like MTV, UK Play shows music in the morning and afternoon and comedy in ...  Read the complete review

Do you want a laugh but at the same time want to listen to the latest music? UK Play is just the channel for you. From big name djs usually heard on radio 1 and top comedians on terrestrial TV this channel also provides a board for up-and-coming comedians to start on and build up a fan base. My personal favorite is Rock Profiles, where Jamie ...  Read the complete review

This is one of them couldn`t be without channels. When you flick through the channels late evening, and there is nothing worth watching...(maybe a good film...but we don`t always want to start watching a film late evening) you can always stop at UK Play. It is full of decent uk comedy`s...eg Stella Street (excellent!), Fast Show, Harry ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of my favourite channels on Sky Digital, with plenty of cool dance music during the day and great comedy classics at night like The Fast Show, League of Gentlemen, Hippies and loads more. Most of the comedy programmes that are shown are repeats from BBC1 and 2 but personally I just can't get enough of them. The only ...  Read the complete review
