, owning half of UKTV and therefore half the channel). The channel aired as a part-time service, airing from 3:00pm every day.
However, following disappointing ratings, the channel's focus was broadened to include all drama series, and as a result was renamed UK Drama on 31 March 2000. However, the channel remained a part-time service, starting at 7:00pm.
On 5 November 2001, UK Drama began timesharing with a new sister channel, UK Food, which aired in UK Drama's daytime slot.
On 10 January 2003, UK Food extended its broadcast hours while UK Drama reduced its broadcast hours to 9:00pm–5:00am.
On 8 March 2004, the channel, alongside all other UKTV channels, was renamed UKTV Drama to increase awareness of the UKTV brand. On 1 July 2004, UKTV Food extended its broadcast hours, leading to UKTV Drama moving to UKTV Food +1's slot (which had been vacated by
UKTV People), although still broadcasting the same hours as before.
On 9 April 2005, UKTV announced that UKTV Drama would expand to a full 24-hour schedule on 30 May. In order to prepare for the transition, the channel moved out of UKTV Food +1's downtime slot to a newly purchased space and started broadcasting from 1:00pm at the end of April, before the full transition to a 24-hour network.
On 2 May 2006, a one-hour timeshift service - UKTV Drama +1, launched on Sky in the vacated broadcast space formerly home to UKTV People +1. It broadcast from 3:00pm–2:00am every day. Corresponding to the name on the main channel shows all programming from the channel one hour later, with no special idents or continuity used.
On 23 October 2007, UKTV Drama +1 was added to

Following the successful relaunch and rebranding of the channel UKTV G2 as
Dave on 15 October 2007, the remaining UKTV channels underwent the same changes.
