6 July 2017 UKTVs leading entertainment channel Dave has today announced a street-based gameshow Dont Say It, Bring It hosted by comedian Jason Byrne. The gameshow challenges people to bring back the answer, but not to say it, in return for Jasons cash prizes. Based on an original Spanish format from Phileas Productions, Dont Say It, Bring It will be produced by Stellify Media (20 x 30).
Dont Say It, Bring It will be filmed across the UK including - Belfast, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Western-super-Mare and Whitby. Each unpredictable episode will see an ebullient Jason and crew pitch up in a new town in search of willing participants. Armed with a loud hailer and a small on-screen crew, Jason will pick players - they can choose to play alone, in pairs or in a group.
Ordered by UKTVs director of commissioning Richard Watsham and Dave general manager Steve North. The series is commissioned by Helen Nightingale who will also exec for UKTV. Kieran Doherty, Matthew Worthy and Chris Jones executive produce for Stellify Media with Series Producer and Director Stuart Locke.
Jason Byrne said,
Its the best indoor outdoor gameshow Ive ever worked on... I loved giving away cash to the great British public on the streets - up with this sort of thing! Dont Say It, Bring It: they didnt say it and they brought it. Apart from the ones who said it and didnt bring it. £50 to bring back a walking stick, £100 for a contact lens, £250 for a butcher named Tom - this show is so easy its impossible!
Richard Watsham said,
This is a new genre for origination on Dave and part of our ongoing strategy of broadening commissioning opportunities into different areas of the schedule. There are increasing opportunities for producers beyond the core comedy entertainment shows that Dave has been so successful in originating.
Helen Nightingale added,
One of the many fantastic things about working with Jason is his extraordinary energy and off-the-cuff live comedy which makes this exciting fast-paced funny format really fizz with life. His energy is infectious so those playing along give it their all. Where else can someone win £250 for bringing a butcher named Tom?
Steve North said,
Dave viewers have a real appetite for fresh and funny formats and I think they will love this energetic, entertaining gameshow. We are so happy to have Jason host his first show with us.
Matthew Worthy said,
Were lucky enough to have a game show where the rules are described in the title. Which leaves room for Jason to do what Jason does best - mess around with bewildered members of the public.
Dont Say It, Bring It is in production this summer across various locations across the UK to be broadcast on Dave later this year.

Daves had a haircut and shave in recent years as it grows from awkward teenager to fully-fledged commissioner of new and original shows. And its not just comedy these days but entertainment and even some knock-out live sport. Hit UKTV Original commissions include Taskmaster, Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Dara O Briains Go 8 Bit and Crackanory, all laden with the biggest names in British comedy. Dave enjoyed critical success with two series of Hoff the Record, a mockumentary ensemble comedy led by the living legend David Hasselhoff.
As well as home-grown delights Dave also goes stateside, cherry-picking cult US Shows including the sharp-witted and sharp-suited Suits and much-loved Parks and Recreation along with Emmy-nominated The Last Man on Earth. This all contributed to Daves award win at the 2016 Broadcast Digital Awards for Best Entertainment Channel.
Dave is the UKs most watched non-PSB channel broadcasting to over 27 million people per month, and viewers continue to enjoy the ludicrously addictive American Pickers and UK remake of Storage Hunters. The channel continues to grow its original commissioning slate with political show Unspun With Matt Forde, Red Dwarf XI, fantasy comedy Zapped! and Celebrity Storage Hunters.
