Dave

Dave (previously UKTV G2) was launched in September 2007 on Freeview and it instantly became one of the most watched digital channels, thanks to a strong mix of British comedy scheduling and Top Gear repeats. Popular British comedy shows repeated on Dave include Red Dwarf, Bottom, Lead Balloon, The Catherine Tate Show, Would I Lie To You? and Mock The Week. The channel has now been given an increased budget and so has begun to commission original comedies series too - And Then You Die, its first production, was a disaster but subsequent programmes like Argumental have been met with a better reaction.
