The female version of Dave...
Quote:
Dave's sister channel, Davina, will build even further on Dave's female audience by delivering satirical and witty programming focusing on lifestyle programming and celebrity gossip. Davina will also showcase the best in cutting-edge sitcoms and stand-up from leading comediennes, such as Smack the Pony, French and Saunders and Kath and Kim.

Whilst clearly an April Fool, I don't think it's such a bad idea. Laughing

This actually had me for a second. I had visions of a channel showing all 7(?) of Davina McCall's ill fated BBC One chat show.

"The Home of Bitchy Banter", that would be funny Channel slogan if it was real! Cool

Good idea, maybe it shouldn't be an April Fools after all .... Watch isn't exactly taking off and is quite female skewed ...

"we know chicks dig Dave just the way it is. Ahem."

Bless 'em.

Well not quite, it wouldn't be able to borrow from the Dave branding, something vibrant like 'Lucy' might work though.

Lucy ain't that common? [as Dave... i.e. everyone knows a bloke called Dave, does everyone know a girl called Lucy? I would have thought Sarah or Liz]

Liz works, if you think of them as a couple, Dave & Liz.

You got to remember though that they're appealing to the female demographic.
So whilst it would be ironic to have a female name alongside Dave, How many females do you think would watch a channel called 'Liz' obviously derived by a couple of blokes.
It wouldn't work... hence why it was an April Fool.
