Following UKTV’s rebrand to Dave recently, from Tuesday the 7th October 2008, more of their channels will change names:
- UKTV Gold will change to “G.O.L.D” – Dedicated comedy channel G.O.L.D. (Go On Laugh Daily) launches with Blackadder: The Whole Rotten Saga (2 x 120 by Tiger Aspect). Well known names including Miranda Richardson, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Richard Curtis to name but a few come together for the first time to reveal a unique insight into this iconic comedy.
- UKTV Drama will become crime channel Alibi – A second series of Murdoch Mysteries, launches on Alibi, the deadliest place on TV, in February 2009 with Alastair Mackenzie joining the series for a guest slot. Set in Victorian Toronto, Murdoch Mysteries follows the chronicles of William Murdoch, a man driven by grief to hunt down murderers using pioneering forensic techniques.
- UKTV Gold+1 will become Watch – Richard and Judy’s New Position forms the backbone of the channel. Packed with celebrity guests, the phenomenal Book Club as well as Thank You Britain, a campaign that focuses on acts of generosity, the new series will unleash the couple on a primetime audience.
