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 (Horse Clamped) - 2017

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.


Dave (Parking - Warden) - 2017

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.


Dave (Hamster Bowls) - 2017

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


Dave (Hamster Bowls 2) - 2017

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.


Dave (Sushi Belt - Shopping) - 2017

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


Dave (Sushi Belt - Luggage) - 2017

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


Dave (Bar Ketchup) - 2017

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


Dave (X-Ray Scanner - Dishes) - 2017

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


Dave (X-Ray Scanner - Roast) - 2017

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!


Dave (Bike Rack - Jet Ski) - 2017

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.


Dave (Bike Rack - Canoe) - 2017

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!


Dave (Darts - Kebab) - 2017

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.


Dave (Darts - Fish) - 2017

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.


Dave (Alarm Cockerel) - 2017

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!


Dave (Golf - Car) - 2017

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


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.


Dave (6 Second News) - 2015

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.


Dave (Bumper - Dodgems) - 2017

A short bumper using a Dave branded dodgem car.


Dave (Break - Pride) - 2017

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


Dave (Break - UKTV) - 2017

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.


Dave (Break - Horse) - 2017

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


Dave (Break - Bowls) - 2017

A break bumper based on the bowls ident.


Dave (Break - Sushi Belt) - 2017

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


Dave (Promo) - 2017

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


Dave (ECP) - 2017

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.


Dave (UKTV Play - Promo) - 2017

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


Dave (UKTV Original Production) - 2017

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.


Dave (Break - Unspun with Matt Forde) - 2018

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.


Dave (Break - Go 8 Bit) - 2018

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.


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.


Dave (UKTV Menu) - 2019

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.


Dave (Break - Hypothetical) - 2020

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.


Dave (Break - Red Dwarf) - 2020

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.


Dave (Red Dwarf) - 2020

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.


Dave (Mask Promo) - 2020

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.


Dave (Mask Promo) - 2020

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


Dave (Summer 2020 Break) - 2020

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.


Dave (Dave Loves Break) - 2020

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 (Dave Loves Break) - 2020

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.

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.

Holly decorates another break bumper for Dave.


Dave (Break - Humbug) - Christmas 2020

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.


Dave (Break - Advent) - Christmas 2020

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


Dave (Promo) - Christmas 2020

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.


Dave (Break - Meet The Richardsons) - Christmas 2020

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 (Break - Big Zuu) - Christmas 2020

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).


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.

Dave (Break - Surprisingly Adequate Shows) - 2021

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.

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.

Dave (Break - Surprisingly Adequate Shows) - 2021

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

However the faux social-media quotes style remained unchanged.

Dave (Break - Add a Bit of Dave) - 2022

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'.

Dave (Queen Announcement Filler) - 2022

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).


Dave (Queen Minute Silence) - 2022

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.


Dave (Queen Remembered Break) - 2022
