Dave 2014-2022
Dave saw a rebrand of it's whole presentation package in April 2014, maintaining some of the surreal nature associated with the channel, but now appearing as part of the wider world. Idents consist of various scenarios which start out normal, but then have a slightly different Dave 'twist'. Other presentation elements, such as trailer endboards and some break bumpers, took on a blackboard style.

Dave (6 Second News) - 2015
Dave often takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to presentation, bringing out occasional special short sequences. Here, gently ribbing BBC Three's 60 Second News, Dave came up with their own occasional take on fast news bulletins with some short sequences designed to sit in breaks entitled '6 Second News'. This one from 2015 was put out as part of the Transfer Deadline Day in 2015.

Mixed in with the fully Dave-branded presentation are more generic blue UKTV branded elements designed to cross-promote all of the channels in their network. Here is the Dave variant of the UKTV 'all channels' break bumper, which starts off with Dave centred, before quickly circling round all the other channels available.

UKTV (Network Promo) - 2018
An animated trailer showcasing all channels available from UKTV, aired across the UKTV network from December 15th 2018 (with this recording coming from Dave). With the impending split of the network between the BBC and Discovery in 2019, it was one of the last to trailer all 10 of the UKTV channels together.
Dave (Channel Move) - 2019
As part of the agreement to split UKTV between the BBC's commercial arm and Discovery in June 2019, Discovery would take the lowest EPG slot on Freeview for use with their own portfolio of channels. This meant a shunting of Dave from 12 to 19 on Freeview, so as soon as the split was approved by Ofcom pre-prepared trailers started airing to promote the move. With Jon Richardson leading up the ad, several different length variations were used with features from different shows on the channel appearing.

For September 2020, Dave decided to theme nights around the various comedians to have appeared on the channel, dedicating schedules to a personality each evening under the title 'Dave Loves'. As part of this, break bumpers featured a short snippet of that evening's comedian. Here, from Monday 7th September, Romesh Ranganathan features, using a clip of him from his appearance on Taskmaster.

Dave (Break - Snow) - Christmas 2020
UKTV introduced their 2020 festive presentation on December 1st. As part of this, Dave received updated break bumpers from this date (trailers having already featured festive graphics for several weeks). Bumpers feature a mix of seasonal messages, alongside some animated and purely graphical versions. An animated version here where the Dave logo falls like snow.

In addition to the general festive break bumpers, several bumpers to promote Christmas specials of shows were added to the mix. After a summer of limited new productions being able to appear on the channel, Dave were understandably keen to promote their new content for December 2020. Here, a bumper to promote festive specials of the faux-reality show 'Meet The Richardsons', complete with snowy graphics.

Dave (Promo - Surprisingly Adequate Shows) - 2021
To start off 2021, Dave launched a new campaign to draw attention to some of their original comedy programming under the title 'Surprisingly Adequate Shows'. Using a faux social media approach, the promo features snippets of people giving mildly appreciative reviews of new shows on the channel. As well as a general trailer, this style was extended to the promos for the individual shows involved, as well as other elements like break bumpers.

To mark IWD on March 8th 2021, UKTV handed over continuity on all their channels to female members of the team, as well as dedicating the schedules and presentation of subscription channel W to celebrating women. In between regular programme announcements throughout the day, special namechecked ones would feature. Here an announcement from Juliana into the 3pm junction on Dave to mark the day.

For April 2021, Dave introduced some 'hybrid' style break bumpers. The bumpers still featured the 'Surprisingly Adequate Shows' animated background, however the messages were replaced with tweets mostly referencing COVID-19 rather than the faux praise of shows seen previously. Here a comment on hairdressers, due to some COVID lockdown restrictions being eased in England from April 12th.

After a pause in new bumpers over the summer, freshly updated 'Surprisingly Adequate Shows' break bumpers appeared towards the end of August 2021. The animated background was now gone (leaving the wording only mentioning Surprisingly Adequate New Comedy now), with a new neon outline effect added. However the faux social-media quotes style remained unchanged.

March 2022 saw a new campaign launched for Dave with a full promo mixing stock-style footage with headshots of comedians overlaid, with the tagline ' Add add a Bit bit of Dave'. As with previous campaigns, snippets from this were then reused to make up a series of break bumpers on the channel too. Richard Ayoade and a sheep feature in this bumper.

As news broke of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8th 2022, UKTV switched into their own category 1 obituary routine. Most programmes continued broadcasting as usual, however all continuity, sponsorship and adverts were suspended and replaced with the UKTV filler loop across all their channels. In the immediate aftermath after the news had broken, a banner was also pverlaid over both programmes and the filler directing people to the BBC News channel for further updates (with UKTV being wholly owned by BBC Studios).
