Welcome to our section looking at Dave. Dave was an entertainment channel owned by UKTV Network

The name was chosen because “everybody knows someone called Dave” and the channel would replace UKTV G2. It featured a mixture of archive programmes, many of which were BBC programmes (with the corporation being half owner of UKTV at the time) and new programmes made for Dave including the reboot of sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf.

As part of a rebrand across UKTV, the channel would be rebranded as U&Dave in 2024
