'alright Dave?

OK, lets get this out the way....

For some strange reason there's a new digital TV channel calling itself Dave. For the most part, that's what people call me (to my face)... it is my name after all.


This has caused at least two people to smile, point at the TV and say "hehe Dave...... that's your name that is".


and that's as far as my interest in this goes really..... although, I'd like to know the marketing reasons for giving a cable TV station a blokes name

It is "the home of witty banter", which is why it's called Dave. Or something.

I was watching it last night, and it's already completely normal when they say "tomorrow, on Dave".

I can think of worse things than having a cable network named after me. Regarding your last post...were you on a reality show? More facts for your American audience!

Kat, the shy and reitiring Mr D was on a BBC "reality" show based on the famous Zimbardo Stanford prison experiment. You can read more about it at the following links:
