Dave orders a fourth series

Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled is to return for a fourth series.

The Dave channel has ordered another ten hour-long episodes of the round-table talk show, to air next year.

The news comes as the third series began last night (Episode guide).

Guests for the new series will be confirmed in the new year when it starts filming. The series will again be produced by Phil McIntyre Productions and was commissioned by UKTV's Iain Coyle.

Series one, which was stripped across weekdays at 10pm, averaged 355,000 viewers; while the second started in October last year with 412,000, decent figures for the digital channel.

When the series launched in June last year, it faced criticism for plagiarising ideas from the US show The Green Room with Paul Provenza, although the public spat was subsequently settled.

As Yet Untitled is one of several returning comedy shows for Dave, including Dave Gorman Modern Life is Goodish and Taskmaster with Greg Davies and Alex Horne.
