It's only UKTV G2 renamed, no new content

You can learn some amazing stuff from QI. Especially when there are 10 of them in a row

QI is a top program, probably one of my favourite quizzes on TV. The new series is being shown on BBC2 now on Fridays, and then the next episode straight after on BBC4.

I reckon Stephen Fry is one of the funniest comedians out there when hes on this.

Rebranding exercise has worked a treat, then. As Hank said, it's UK Gold

Its a shame that they have halved the broadcast hours for UKTV History though...

So people will talk about it and stop thinking about UK Gold 2 being a repeat of a repeat channel.

Worked eh..?

It is not a new name for UK Gold, that is still there if you have Sky. Dave is a replacement for UKTV G2, it's not a repeat of the stuff from UK Gold (that just shows old soaps).

Some good stuff on Dave though.

I didn't say it was, it's the new name for UKTV G2, not replacement, new name.

UK Gold 2 became UKTV G2 became Dave.

The repeat thing a viewer perception thing which is why marketing were brought in. people have already said they never watched before it was called Dave.
