    Just seen another one for Market Kitchen with a van driving across screen.

    Do UKTV / Good Food REALLY need to do this?
    I am guessing Waitrose (other supermarket are avabile, they just didnt fun the show) want there moneys worth.

    http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/856580/UKTV-turns-AFP-start-up-Kremplewood/

    then again that article is from 2008, so it is possible that they have already gotten there moneys worth.

    I don't mind the promo before the shows. Off the top of my head Man V Food is sponsored by Appletize and another frequent sponsor is Onken (I think).

    It's the animated IPP for the programs on the channel which is annoying.
    They previously had (and still do) a bar that pops up in the top left at about 10 minutes left advertising the next program and even though that is slightly annoying at least it's not an animation.

    That is excellent news; 1am-3am is my favourite viewing time.

    GOLD is giving you another chance to see the classic comedy 'Allo 'Allo. The show has been absent from the GOLD schedule for a number of years but it is back weeknights at 7pm from Monday 15th November.

    Enjoy!

    I'd love to see the Perry & Croft BBC Sitcom COME BACK MRS NOAH please.

    And the classic 1960's BBC sitcom MEET THE WIFE would be fantastic to see again :-)

    And every episode shown so far has had a bloody big white mug advertising the Royle family programme appear as an IPP somewhere in it and linger for ages ruining the flow, hopefully this will disappear on future repeats. I wish that broadcasters would realise that on screen garbage is counterproductive, The navigation aid argument is getting tired every digital receiver has an inbuilt guide.

    Good Moaning!

    The episodes I have endured have been from the last series made and are far from "classic". Can't dream why Gold have started with these as they are very weak and some of the original actors (Jack Haig, Gavin Richards) have gone. Maybe it's because of the picture quality but these episodes are not the way to introduce the reruns of this, at times, funny programme.

    The programme had got very tired by the last series and it was rightfully put to bed afterwards. I really can't bear to watch any more of them.

    G.O.L.D have only bought series 7 to 9 so far, thats why they are showing 'later' episodes and not the early ones.

    'G.O.L.D without the old' should be the new catchphrase instead of the poor and annoying 'stick something funny on' or the slightly better but still poor 'Go on laugh daily'.

    UKTV, Is there any plans to replace the useless dave ja vu channel on freeview with something more useful considering +1 channels are a waste of space on the limited capacity freeview has.

    Is there any chance you can get the rights to classic episodes of the soaps.

    Eastenders would be a start but would also like neighbors, home and away, emmerdale and coronation street.

    As you can see from a number of threads on here there is a demand for classic episodes.

    Also any chance of putting there on one of your freeview channels ????

    I guess 50 years old Corrie could work on "Yesterday" actually Heartbeat would be a better fit, assumin its not repated on ITV 3 of course.

    then again if iTV 3 si repeating it, maybe there isnt a market for it.

    Currently, on many GOLD programmes, there is virtually a paragraph of text under the usual D.O.G.

    I haven't hung around long enough to read it completely but it's something to do with Christmas episodes.

    Is it really necessary to ruin our "viewing experience" even more by, not only obliterating people's heads, but now much of their bodies with these ridiculous graphics?

    I simply cannot watch anything with this going on, so I go elsewhere. How many more viewers are they losing in this way, I wonder?

    In a 'Last of the Summer Wine' which I endured for almost a minute, Seymour's head and upper body were almost permanently covered with text.

    Really!

    The UKTV member seems to be very selective about the posts they reply to ;)

    We have no plans to remove Dave ja vu from Freeview nor show any of the soaps you listed I'm afraid. The most recent series of Dragons' Den should arrive on Dave during 2011.

    Unfortunately due to performance reasons, we had to remove some shows from the schedule however Peep Show will be repeated in full in early 2011.
