NEW Comedy dave’s Advent Calendar From Saturday, dave Hd, 9pm
DAVE HAS COME up with a novel take on the traditional yuletide advent calendar this year. The channel will be showing a new short comedy film (and we mean short – each one is just one-minute long) every day from Saturday until Christmas Eve.
Featuring a host of comedy talent, including Jon Richardson, Sally Phillips, Ross Noble, Nina Conti and Josh Widdicombe, the short films go out every night at 9pm, beginning on Saturday with Kerry Godliman attempting to prove to a cynical Romesh Ranganathan how Christmas presents can bring happiness and light to his life.

Taskmaster WAS BRILLIANT… I reckon there’s no point taking part in something if you don’t try to win. I think James Acaster was secretly just as competitive as me. I KEEP THE Taskmaster TROPHY [A GOLDEN BUST OF GREG DAVIES’ HEAD] IN MY GARAGE…
Where did you think I would keep it? On the mantelpiece?
