Produced by Second Act Productions, the series is set for the comedy entertainment channel Dave. Also headed for Dave is the Avalon-produced <em>Dave Gorman: Terms and Conditions Apply<\/em>, which will feature the comedian known for his PowerPoint presentations and fellow comedian guests commenting on the internet age and partaking in mischievous games.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dial M for Middlesbrough<\/em>, the sequel to <em>Murder on the Blackpool Express<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Death on the Tyne<\/em>,\u00a0will feature an all-star cast in a new Agatha Christie-inspired comedy caper. Written by Jason Cook (<em>Murder on the Blackpool Express<\/em>, <em>Death on the Tyne<\/em>) and produced by Shiny Button, the series will air on UKTV\u2019s Gold channel.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Watsham, UKTV\u2019s director of commissioning, said: \u201cThe latest crop of UKTV Originals demonstrates our commitment to finding and backing the very best talent both in front of and behind the camera. Our indie partners continue to help us raise the quality and ambition of our shows across more genres. These new series span both feature-length and half-hour scripted comedy as well as an evolution of one of Dave\u2019s most-watched comedy entertainment shows, from the brilliant mind of Dave Gorman. And with our future position as part of BBC Studios, I\u2019m particularly excited about the opportunities to grow our UKTV Originals slate further going forwards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UKTV has commissioned three new shows for its Dave and Gold channels, including Meet the Richardsons with Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":9365,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2038,81],"class_list":["post-9364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-meet-the-richardsons","tag-uktv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>UKTV Grows Originals Slate with New Comedy &amp; Entertainment Titles - TVEUROPE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"UKTV Grows Originals Slate with New Comedy &amp; Entertainment Titles - TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"UKTV has commissioned three new shows for its Dave and Gold channels, including Meet the Richardsons with Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVEUROPE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-06-11T15:08:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2017\/07\/uktv-logo-619.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/\",\"name\":\"UKTV Grows Originals Slate with New Comedy &amp; Entertainment Titles - TVEUROPE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-11T15:08:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-06-11T15:08:33+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/2019\/06\/11\/uktv-grows-originals-slate-with-new-comedy-entertainment-titles\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"UKTV Grows Originals Slate with New Comedy &amp; Entertainment Titles\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/\",\"name\":\"TVEUROPE\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tveurope\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
