UKTV Presentation

Drama introduced new breakbumpers a few days ago, programme specific for Sherlock and a few other shows.

There seem to be the break flashers? Either way there trying to promo new show for this spring.

JAS84 is correct, they're introducing a few new shows to the channel for Spring.

Here's Comedy Centrals promo for their version of Taskmaster:

Even though I sure the programme will be quite good, the promo is a bit of a different style and attitude to what we're used to, I assume they feel they need to explain that they're simple silly games played for fun. Something that we just 'get' here

Shouldn't that be in the comedy central thread? https://tvforum.uk/tvhome/comedy-central-42392/page-10

It's a show based on a show on Dave, so not necessarily.

I wonder if they'll bring this version over here. How would that work, would Dave have some rights to air it in the U.K. or Comedy Central because they are the US broadcasters, or neither?

That's a great promo - clearly an absolute piss take.

Yes, American version of a UKTV programme

Clearly a piss take of something but it just seems very odd here where we have a culture of panel games (even though Alex Horne insists it's not a panel game)

Interesting announcement at the start of a Fawlty Towers repeat on Gold tonight - "this episode contains strong outdated language that some viewers may find offensive". Its The Germans episode so presumably its because of the Major's comments after Basil comes home from the hospital. IIRC the BBC chopped a chunk of that discussion out for a BBC Two repeat and then got complained at for doing it.

They’ve done that before, and to be fair to Gold that’s probably the best way to go about it. I assume it’s the bit where the Major talks about going to Lords and drops an N and a W word?
