Guest Jordan Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 On the back of Nintendo's crazy Wii name, UKTV G2 currently shown on cable and Sky will be renamed "Dave" when relaunched in October and become avaliable on Freeview (to replace the shitty UK Bright Ideas...). Anyone wanna watch Dave? Anyone? TV: "Coming up next on Dave." Jordan: "ew..." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7005061.stm
Sanchez Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Amazing idea actually, bound to get a ton of free publicity and come up in casual conversation.
EchoDesiato Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Oh, now I'm disappointed. I thought Dave from Pure Pwnage was getting his own show or something.
Supergrunch Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Awesome, that's nearly as good as calling a dog Dave. EDIT: Just read the article: [The show is based around the idea that] everyone knows a bloke called Dave. I find this hilarious, but I'm not entirely sure why...
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Don't really see a problem, shows are being called after people all the time. Joey, Frasier... Albeit they have some form of relevance. Maybe people will think it's a new sitcom/spin-off thereof.

Maybe people will think it's a new sitcom/spin-off thereof. ... yeah but this is a whole channel... Well I guess it's a silly name, but it sounds like it'll have a decent bunch of shows - and on freeview too! Woo! Just need a freeview box now...
EchoDesiato Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 No, it's not a show. The actual channel will be called "Dave".
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 As you can see. I read heavily into this shit before posting. ¬_¬
soag Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 This is the best idea anyone has came up with EVER!!! I hope to become good friends with Dave in the near future.
Bluejay Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Is Dave a good channel? What kinda stuff will air on it?
Guest Jordan Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Its just UKTV G2 basically. Ie: Old comedy quiz shows, top gear, movies occassionally.
Mr_Odwin Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Its just UKTV G2 basically.Ie: Old comedy quiz shows, top gear, movies occassionally. Gotta be better than Bright Ideas though ... so overall Freeview improves!
Jamba Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Isn't it a "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" reference? Thought the geeks would love that.
Gizmo Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Its just UKTV G2 basically.Ie: Old comedy quiz shows, top gear, movies occassionally. Count me in.
Letty Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Its funny because I know a person called Dave.
soag Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Its funny because I know a person called Dave. I have an uncle Dave
Roostophe Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I have an uncle Dave Same here, plus I have 2 Friends on MySpace called Dave.
Bluejay Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 My dad is called David but hates being called Dave. So naturally, I take great pleasure is going "Allwight Big Dave"
jayseven Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I have an uncle Dave I had two. One died.
Supergrunch Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I can currently think of 3 Daves I know, there may be more.
Ramar Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 Bright Ideas isn't the channel on freeview (like channel 19 or there abouts) that shows all the cooking programmes is it? If it is, WW3 will take place in my house when the channel is gone. :S

soag Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I had two. One died. funny enough i also had 2 until one died, maybe we are long lost cousins.
