What's your ultimate and favourite biscuit of all time?

Send us your suggestions and we'll make it Biscuit of the Week!

Thanks

Sharron - UKTV

I love Jaffa Cakes don't get me wrong. But are they biscuits?

If so, then I can't wait for them to be Biscuit of the Week (I get to eat them all week, guilt free, it's work after all).

But if no - why are they only found in the biscuit aisle? Can someone please explain this strange phenomenon?

Thanks

Queueing, discussing the weather (at length) and drinking lots and lots of tea - these acts are completely unique to - and we just wouldn't be the same with out them.

Hi Pirbright

Just to let you know that UKTV History is still being broadcast on Freeview channel 12. It sounds like you need to re-scan your set top box. You should have UKTV History on 12 and Dave on 19. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the history home page or use this link: [link]

Hope that helps.
The UKTV History Team

Hi all,

UKTV provides a range of high quality channels in the entertainment, factual and lifestyle genres. We are a commercial venture funded by subscription revenues from the Virgin Media and Sky pay TV platforms and by advertising.

In order to maximise our investment into our portfolio of channels we need to continually explore ways of increasing our income, of which advertising constitutes the largest part. As the biggest and fastest-growing platform, Freeview offers us the greatest opportunity to grow our audience share which in turn drives advertising revenue. Whilst we have very many loyal UKTV History fans whom we value hugely, based on viewing behaviour to our various channels in pay homes, we believe that Dave will attract an even larger audience in Freeview.

I hope this goes a bit further to explain our position.

Thanks
Sharron

Sir David Attenborough will be joining us live for a webchat on Sunday 2nd September at 9pm.

He’ll be discussing his new one-off show for UKTV Documentary “Sir David Attenborough explores…Our Fragile World” which highlights the plight of animals and their environment in the UK due to global warming.

You can watch the programme on UKTV Documentary on Sunday 2nd September at 8pm. Then join Sir David for the live webchat.

Or why not send in your question about global warming now - and we'll do our best to make sure he answers it. Just log in below and post your question here.

Hi Tanks3,

I'm not exactly sure which museum they are talking about - but there are two that might be of interest. The Manx Museum in Douglas or the Nautical Museum in Castletown.

Hope that helps

Hi Marianne

Yes you're right. Some people have been voting 1000's of times for each venue - so we have had to take away those votes - just to be completely fair to all venues.

Hope that explains the missing votes.

Thanks

UKTV History has a brand new show starting next month called Sex, Love and War – and we want to hear from you!

Were you in a relationship during the Second World War that was considered taboo? Did you have an affair? Are you the result of a relationship that was ‘frowned upon’? Have you been reunited with a lost love?

Whether you lived through World War Two or your parents or grand parents did - we want to hear about it.

It's probably because you don't have flash installed on your competition.

You can download for free by clicking here.

Good luck

Hi everyone, thanks very much for your comments. All great stuff.

Keep 'em coming!

Sharron

Hi Johnno

Thanks for your comment - but what do you mean by "real" history?

Cheers
Sharron

Hello all

We're planning a new section on the UKTV History website which will tell you all about the history that you should know - or you fancy learning about.

But - we need your help! Tell us here what you would like to read about. It could be anything from Henry VIII to Hitler. Or why the Roman Empire fell, to fall of the Berlin Wall.

Thanks very much

Sharron

The Beatles Decade has started on UKTV History - and to celebrate we've made a brand new game dedicated to everything about the 60s.

Have you played it? Let us know what you think?

Thanks
Sharron

Hi Barry

The track is called Cinematic Beats: Mirage Maker, from a library CD called ATMOSPHERE ATMOS CD-213.

I'm not sure that helps!

Thanks

After weeks of your confessions - we now have a winner!

stienbabe will be receiving a PSP for her comment.

Thanks for sending them in - they've kept us very amused at UKTV Towers!

It's not just the Queen who is turning 80 this year - broadcasting legend Sir David Attenborough reaches this landmark age too.

Why not send us your birthday messages to him and we'll pass them on!

Happy Birthday David Attenborough!

Opps - sorry about that. Of course Mr Firth was born in 1960!

Thanks
Sharron

Thanks for you email - very sorry about that.

We've got a new version here you might like to try.

We're looking for people who've had success in researching their family history?

How did you get on? What did you discover? And where did you get stuck?

We've got a couple of Who Do You Think You Are? Discovering the Heroes and Villians in Your Family by Dan Waddell and Nick Barratt for the best replies.

The UKTV History website is currently undergoing a review and we want to know what you like and don't like about the site.

Is it easy to use? Can you find what you're looking for? etc.

Have a look round and tell us what you would like to see on it in the future.

Thanks for your time and best wishes

Sharron

Hello

Although we don't always reply to your messages on here - we do read them and pass them on to the relevant people...just so you know your messages do get through!

Thanks

Hello!

Sorry for the delay - but we have now tracked it down!

The song is called: Happy Ever After, it's by Ian Brown and is on the Solarised album.

Cheers

Hi Barry

The links seem ok to me... Have you tried:

Believe or not - Rockcliffe's Babies starts tonight on UKTV Drama at 11.25pm!

Times vary so keep an eye on things in our What's On Section
[link]

And Rockcliffe's Folly starts on the 29th December at 10.50pm!

Enjoy!

If you think you have an interesting story to tell - why not do so here!

Hi Libs

Judge John Deed is on Fridays at 9pm on UKTV Drama - have a look in the What's On Section to look out for the one's you have missed.

Hi Quaint

Thanks for your comment. 1000 Years of History isn't a programme as such - its a group of programmes which are about the 17th Century, for example. So the programmes to look out for, are Kings and Queens of England, The History of Britain and what If.

If these programmes are showing at the moment then you can find them in the TV Listings section of the website called: What's On.

I hope that helps.

So does anyone fancy going through what Bruce goes through in this series?

So, Nocturne - what do you want from UKTV? Let us know...

We want to know what periods you really love in history? Is it World War Two - or do you prefer the darker, brooding Medieval periods?

Let us know what you think?

Thanks
S

What's your favourite show on UKTV Drama?
