UKTV, the joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Flextech Television, closed PLAY uk, its music and comedy channel, at midnight on Monday 30th September 2002. PLAY uk was one of the channels that make up the UKTV Network. The decision to close the channel came in response to the demise of ITV Digital.
Many of PLAY’s popular comedy programmes such as The Office, The Fast Show and Shooting Stars, now appear on UKTV’s flagship channel UK Gold.

All other UKTV channels, which include UK Style, UK Horizons, UK Drama and UK Food, will remain unaffected.

Cheers Dunk, of all the UK chanels it was the best IMHO :(
