Who is the new continuity announcer on Dave (the guy with the deep voice) - is it Stephen Frost, because it sounds a lot like him.


The same announcer is on duty tonight, and it sounds like Arthur Smith to me (but I could be wrong).

Seems as if Dave only has rights to the 1993-1996 series of WLIIA? Shame I would love to see Stephen Fry do the raps Laughing

That edition was shown on Dave back when it launched.

I had seen Whose Line Is It Anyway? promoted but I had never thought too much of it, I didn't think it would be my type of show, but I saw some of an episode this afternoon on Dave and it was hilarious!

Ryan Stiles was my favourite comedian. He was quick and witty, especially in the segment that had members of the audience using them as puppets.

Good as some of the programmes might be, Dave are really starting to take the piss with Top Gear. The same episode which was on 4pm Wednesday was shown 4pm Thursday.

I have noticed that the same episode of Top Gear is repeated many times in a short space of time too. The one in which Clarkson drove a car in a race with May and Hammond flying an aeroplane to the top floor of the Natwest Tower was shown yesterday afternoon and then again this morning.

Eh? Did I miss those the ones on the opening week were the 1993 series where by Fry had left a long time agao, unless they showed them at the weekend? (Series 1 was 1988)

I dunno if I should mention it here, but UKTV Gold are currently in widescreen atm showing Spiceworld. The adverts are still in 4:3 though.

To be honest I have been watching clips on YouTube but I'm pretty sure the Stephen Fry edition was on Dave when it started.

"Your watching Dave a completely pointless rebrand of UKTVG2. Coming up later an episode of Top Gear that was only on BBC2 2 sundays ago, but right now if you have missed it the first 17 times here's another chance to see the first ever episode of QI, and don't worry it be on again in 1 hr on Dave+1 and again tommorow night and also on BBC4 On friday" Rolling Eyes
