New look Gold

I expect the idents will have two cuts - one short for daytime and one longer for primetime - in the same manner as Dave.

That Idents is seems a bit Monty python......

I still think the name "Gold" is out of place considering it's a channel for British comedy, not the "golden" archive channel it used to be.

So "comedy gold" isn't a phrase you've heard?

Touché, but considering they insisted on being "Go On Laugh Daily", I don't think "comedy gold" was their intention.

But that tag line been gone now for 4 years now.

It's arguably one of the more memorable cable/satellite channel names, so you can see why they'd want to keep that, even if they have messed up by dropping the 'UK'. I'm sure most people, if you asked them, would know what UK Gold is even if they don't have it.

I haven't watched the channel since it was UKTV Gold. But I guess this is in time for the Monty Python Live show

It's a bit of a throwback to the original UK Gold logo

I'm glad you said that. I instantly thought the same but on Googling it I didn't think anyone else would agree.

I'd say it's more of a coincidence than anything else.

It almost certainly is, but theres still a similarity
