About Gold
Sky 110, BT and TalkTalk 310 On demand on Sky, Now TV and TalkTalk
Dedicated to celebrating the best of British comedy, Gold is the nations favourite comedy channel.
Much-loved comedy series Only Fools and Horses and The Royle Family sit comfortably alongside a whole host of heart-warming UKTV Originals from retrospective series Saluting Dads Army, dinnerladies diaries and How The Young Ones Changed Comedy, to the feature length comedy capers Murder on the Blackpool Express and Death on the Tyne. Plus, all-new three part scripted series The Cockfields airing later this year.
Gold is exclusively remaking three lost episodes of the comedy classic Dads Army, with 2019 marking fifty years since the episodes were first broadcast and last seen. Using the original scripts, which were written for the second series by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, Dads Army: The Lost Episodes stars a stunning cast including Kevin R McNally as Captain Mainwaring, Robert Bathurst as Sergeant Wilson and Timothy West as mild-mannered Private Godfrey.
The perfect tonic to make you laugh whatever the time of day, Gold tickles with universally funny shows that everyone can enjoy.
