There's something a bit uninspired about all those "+1" channels. Couldn't they come up with better names like all those spin-off shows on ITV2 - you know Dancing on Ice Defrosted, Britain's Got More Talent, The Palace Decommissioned, Echo Beach Deserted, that kind of thing. So it's encouraging to hear that UKTV has started to think outside the box. The company that came up the wheeze of branding a blokey channel Dave is apparently considering a new name for its timeshifted version, Dave +1. Some bright spark has come up with an instant classic: Dave-ja Vu. Trouble is, it might be just a bit too clever, even for fans of "the home of witty banter", whose brains are sharpened by regular re-runs of QI and Top Gear. But Monkey is impressed all the same.
