Dave 2014-2022

Many of the new idents in the package consist of a base ident, but with several variants of each creating a large range for use. In this car park version, the horse someone has parked there finds itself clamped.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The final continuity link of 2017 from Dave, and a fairly low key Happy New Year from the channel. It's another variation of the parking ident used here, this time with the horse getting a ticket written out by a Traffic Warden.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A friendly game of bowls suddenly gains a hamster as an extra participant, before it rolls off bottom of the screen again.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Continuity on Dave reminding us of how close things are to New Year 2018 now over a variation of the Hamster Bowling ident. In this version, the hamster rolls off to the top right of the screen.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A belt of fresh sushi rolls past. Although in Dave-style, someone has left their shopping on there too.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The sushi belt features again, only this time with Dave's luggage going around it instead. This is the short version of this ident.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

At the bar now, and I'll have a glass of your finest Dave Ketchup please.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

An airport scanner with luggage passing through. And in this variant of it, someone's dirty dishes too.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

The scanner features again, only this time someone has put through their freshly roasted dinner. Complete with continuity from New Years Eve 2017. Ident not sponsored by Bisto!

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A bike rack containing lots of bikes, as you would expect. Until you reach Dave of course, who have decided to leave their Jet Ski there today.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A variation on the Bike Rack ident and this time round, someone has locked up their canoe to the racks. Somewhere we suspect there's also a poor soul stuck on a bike up a river without a canoe, due to an administrative cockup!

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Some friendly games down at the Dave pub again. As one guy plays pool, a darts game is going on in the background. Although people, possibly working to a new set of hipster rules, have been throwing shish kebab at the board instead.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Another version of darts, and this time a fish has been thrown at the dart board. Also note the subtle difference in where the other darts have been thrown on the board.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Come along to the Dave store and choose from our varied selection of alarm clocks. Unfortunately someone made a small typo on one of the order sheets, but we'll run with it!

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A golf buggy with a difference from Dave. At least if that car is there, it's not getting any parking tickets!

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Another Transfer Day special, this time with some strong language as the live news presenter tells 'guy waving in the background' what we always want them to say.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A short bumper using a Dave branded dodgem car.

• Expand Image Expand Image

A special Pride coloured break bumper added to channel presentation to mark London Pride in July 2017.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A break bumper based on Dave's Horse Clamping ident.

• Expand Image Expand Image

A break bumper based on the bowls ident.

• Expand Image Expand Image

A short break bumper this time based on the sushi belt ident.

• Expand Image Expand Image

A promotion for Dave, featuring the chalkboard presentation graphic style that was introduced alongside the 2014 refresh.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Using Dave's chalkboard style for this end credit promotion. The ECPs on Dave vary between either using the channel's own style, or the general UKTV blue style for cross-channel promotion.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Another Dave promo, this time advertising the availability of one of their own-produced shows via their on-demand video application UKTV Play.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A new production sting was introduced to the UKTV Network from September 2017, inplace of the previous teal themed animation. Still used to lead into original productions for UKTV channels.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A short bumper used around breaks, either directly in and out of the break or between trailers, to promote Dave's new satirical series Unspun with Matt Forde.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Another short break bumper, this time promoting the new series of Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit on Dave. Using the same artwork style as had been used on trailers in the run up to the series launch.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

In addition to the Dave-branded menus, cross promotional UKTV-branded menus continued after the split. Albeit with a few less channels in the portfolio to now promote.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Another special breakbumper to mark the new series of Hypothetical on Dave in February 2020. With the countdown sitting at 1 day to go here.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

In common with most new commissions for Dave, in the run up to the premiere showing of Red Dwarf - The Promised Land on April 9th, countdown break bumpers were used in each break. Here the bumper from the final day.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

To mark a brand new Red Dwarf special on Dave in April 2020, shots from the trailer were edited into an ident for the channel throughout the evening too.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

With the introduction of masks to shops in England from July 24th, Dave introduced a short promo the day beforehand to push wearing masks correctly.

An extended version of the Dave 'Wear a Mask' Promo from July 2020, now including a cameo cat appearance.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A themed break bumper, unusually featuring music, designed to draw attention to almost the entirety of the Summer 2020 schedule on Dave. Following the style of a longer 'comedy festival' promo that had already been in use on the channel.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Tuesday 8th September 2020 saw Dave devote their evening to comedian Katherine Ryan, with shows featuring her. And to go alongside this, another special break bumper for the channel.

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Holly decorates another break bumper for Dave.

Another graphical break bumper for Dave, this time in the form of a 'festive brainteaser'. I'd say 'Can you tell what it is yet?', but I think that phrase has been banned from common use.

• Expand Image Expand Image

Another festive text-based break bumper for Dave, commenting on the common letters between Dave and Advent.

• Expand Image Expand Image

An example of the festive 2020 trailer style for Dave. This first appeared in late November, a little before the rest of the festive presentation for the channel that year.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Another programme-specific Christmas break bumper, here promoting festive specials of 'Big Zuu's Christmas Eats'. Complete with text fading in (unlike the similar Richardson's bumper).

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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.

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.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Later in June 2021, more social media themed 'Surprisingly Adequate Shows' break bumpers were introduced. This time lacking any soundtrack, making them silent like the regular text bumpers for the channel.

After a pause in new bumpers over the summer, freshly updated 'Surprisingly Adequate Shows' break bumpers appeared towards the end of August 2021.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

Initially introduced on International Women's Day 2022 (though the films didn't explicitely name the day this year so they could continue to be used beyond that) Dave put out several short films on the channel with female comedians talking candidly about comedy. Suzi Ruffell features in this film.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

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).

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

By the time the national minute of silence in memory of Queen Elizabeth II came around at 8pm on September 18th, UKTV had had a little extra time to prepare special presentation to mark the occasion.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

After the quite vague last minute UKTV filler that had been placed into breaks on the evening the Queen's death was announced, by the date of her state funeral on September 19th UKTV had prepared some more descriptive breakfillers to replace advertising that day.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

On September 19th 2022, the day of the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, Dave replaced their regular idents with a more generic sombre variant.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image

A slightly different promo from Dave which starts off in the style of a regular continuity announcement before being 'interrupted' by the rest of the trailer.

• Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image Expand Image
