I noticed that there was a brand new episode of Argumental on
BBC2 on Sunday evening for some reason. I wonder if the continuity
announcer said at the beginning of the show "Created by Dave
and chosen by the BBC". :)

I wonder if the revenue from the Dave ads goes back to the BBC to make
new shows??

Yes. The 'profits' from BBCWW (which include the 50/50 joint-venture that is
the UKTV bouquet of channels) does get given to the UK LF-funded BBC
opoeration.

This, of course, allows the BBC to make more programmes than it could with
*just* the LF coming in. Which, of course, can only be a good thing.

But with higher costs they probably just stand still.

Yes, I thought that they were being broadcast first on BBC2, but
it seems that they are repeats from Dave.

Yep. It's called 'second-run rights'. Happens all the time.
