I'm going to admit to loving the idea of "Dave Ja Vu". But "Yesterday"? Seriously? Why not go the whole hog and call it "Yesteryear"? I totally love the word yesteryear. (Though have often wondered why we never bother with yesterweek or yesterfortnight or yesterhour for that matter.)

I think UKTV are trying to set up an Abbott and Costello sketch ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M ).
Coming soon: a science channel called "Tomorrow", a quiz channel called "What" and a religion channel called "I Don't Know".
