Exactly the flag is for the whole country not just for a few crankpots. It's still a strange rebrand if you ask me.

Is it? Who does it represent? Do explain.
The Union Jack/Flag is the flag for Great Britain and Northern Ireland just as the star spangled banner is for the whole of America.

Heard it on Dave as well last night before Buzzcocks - "Created for the BBC, selected by Dave."

I think Dave was a good idea for a name & Watch and Alibi work but G.O.L.D. & Blighty just sound terrible

Didn't UKTV say recently they were going to be relaunching the Dave website soon?

Try going to New York and mangling their national flag into different colours and see what what response you get!

He's suggesting that doing that sort of recolour on the Stars & Stripes would get you lynched in the USA.

I agree. The reaction would probably be similar to that to Borat's rendition of his spoof Khazakstan national anthem to the tune of America's.

From the UKTV press site. Have to admit, I kinda like this name.

I'm assuming thats the new name for UKTV Gardens? Not a bad name.

Keep up! It's been mentioned several times - it's the new name for UKTV Documentary.

yeah but they're funny about our flag in a way we aren't. remember they give it burials and have special ways of folding it and nosense like that.

anyhow, I don't see anyone complaining when asda recoloured it green for their advert recently.


so once these changed have gone through, what UKTV channels will be left? and what is happening to them? Have they realised perhaps that they've spread them too thinly with the gardens channel?
