Dave 2022-2024 (Witty Bumpers)

Initially when the 2022 package was launched on Dave, break bumpers were reduced to a small set from the frequently refreshed witty 'text' versions that had gone before.

In late 2023, the witty bumper approach was reintroduced to the channel. Now mixing both images and text, once again in a regularly refreshed rotation. Along with bumpers to mark special occasions.

Dave (Break - Halloween) - 2023

From October 2023, Dave began reintroducing their topical break bumpers for more regular occasions, harking back to what had been done in the previous presentation package. Here one of several bumpers for Halloween 2023.

Dave (Break - Tea) - 2023

In case you ever needed a reminder you can put the kettle on during breaks, Dave has you covered. Though I'm not sure I'd ever want a cup of tea that was quite that shade of orange!


Dave (Break - Pong) - 2023

In a bumper harking back to one which had appeared in the previous package too, the Dave logo bounces around the screen like a game of Pong. Also making for a rare bumper from the channel that continues animating throughout the entire sequence.


Dave (Break - Scratch) - 2023

You would have to be above a certain age to remember the shortlived scratch and sniff TV fad of the 90s. But thankfully someone at Dave is clearly of that age!

Dave (Message 1/12) - Christmas 2023

For Christmas 2023, Dave skipped a new batch of break bumpers and instead introduced festive messages before programmes throughout the month using their 'text' house style slides. These all aired close to 9pm, with a different message featured each day from viewers.


Dave (Message - 2/12) - Christmas 2023


Dave (Message - 3/12) - Christmas 2023

The festive message from Dave for December 3rd. Complete with some reminders of why putting a busy pine needle image on a slow zoom is a challenge for MPEG2 encoders (Dave on satellite was usually fine, but this problem seemed to be much more prevalent on the terrestrial and Dave Ja Vue broadcasts).


Dave (Message - 4/12) - Christmas 2023


Dave (Message - 5/12) - Christmas 2023

On the Fifth Day of December, Dave's generic announcement and textual messaging gave to me...

Another festive message from Dave, this time for December 7th.

Dave (Message - 11/12) - Christmas 2023

The 'chat style' previously seen in break bumpers makes an appearance for December 11th's festive message.

Another message from Dave, complete with the same pre-recorded announcement as used the day previous.

December 20th, and another greeting from a Dave viewer as we near Christmas now.

Dave (Message - 24/12) - Christmas 2023

Reaching Christmas Eve and another advent calendar message from Dave.


Dave (Message - 25/12) - Christmas 2023

The non-decoration date argument for Christmas - do you end your advent calendar on December 24th or December 25th? Dave decided to go with the 25th, and put out one final message in the 9pm junction on Christmas Day 2023. Well it's a way to guarantee at least one primetime Christmas Day viewer!


Dave (Break - Loading) - 2024

A collection of 80s insults feature in this Dave break bumper.

Dave (Break - Not a Break Start) - 2024

Normally the Dave witty break bumpers will appear at only one side of an advert break, with the other side still using a regular channel bumper. However ever ones for mixing things up, with the April 2024 batch a break bumper designed to appear in two parts at either side of the same break appeared. In the first part going into the break we're told 'This is Not An Ad Break'...
