I know that YeSTERDAY was UKTV History, but why the lower case 'e'?

Comes out as 'Yesterday' on my receivers.

No , on the actual station advertising screen. YeSTERDAY. Classic design
studio ****s and their big ideas.

I guessed it was something like that but I still don't see what was the
idea of their ****ty design. For example, YesTERDAY is more affirmative,
while yesTERDAy is more proclamational with its implied fanfare.


I would stop there, unless you want to lower this thread into the realms of
the scatological.

Is Dave ja vu (which used to be Dave +1) an awkward play on d j vu?

And for how much longer will QUEST (ie Discovery) be coming soon?

He said: No, because *our* sheep's dying...

You mean déja vu. And yes, it is.

Quite a clever one i thought, déja vu meaning, quite literally,
already seen, so if you saw Top Gear on BBC2, or then on BBC3, or then
on Dave, you could quite reasonably have déja vu when you watch it on
Dave ja vu.


In French we also have J'ai vu (I saw.....) which is close to 'ja vu'

hmmmmm... "I have seen" would be a closer translation.

Ah, that would be yesTERDay.

Or maybe the history of baking, concrete & prisons, with yeSTERday.

Many years ago when vcrs were still a novelty, YTV ran a some trailers
that had the name of the day of the week rapidly zooming out of the
screen. What fun we had trying to pause the tape at exactly the right
moment half way through the saTURDay one. The BBC's 'Tonight' titles
(the '70s late-night one, not the '60s Fyfe Robertson teatime one, or
the unwatchable Trever Macdonut version) had something similar. The
letters imploded inwards on themselves until only TIT was visible,
usually followed by a shot of Austin Mitchell.

Many years ago I was in the living room of an elderly lady and her female
companion, demonstrating the operation of the new TV set. For some reason
the teletext was faulty, and the screen filled with a very large jagged
image that looked rather like a well-known four letter word.

Let's hope the town of S****horpe never acquires a local TV channel.
