Matthew's View on UKTV

• Gold - transmits classic BBC comedy and programmes that support that comedy.
• Alibi – Largely co-produced crime programmes; can’t afford to fully fund expensive programmes.
• Watch – broad family entertainment eg. Total Wipeout and Torchwood.
• Dave – “the home of witty banter” for 26-34 year old men. Shows about cars and gadgets with high production values that provoke conversation.

Looking For:

• A new car show that could sit next to Top Gear on Dave.
