U&Drama

U&Drama is a British free-to-air television channel broadcasting drama (and, to a lesser extent, comedy, sci-fi) programming in the United Kingdom and Ireland as part of the UKTV network of channels.

In September 2014, UKTV blamed the channel for their 7% profits fall.

The channel has featured classic drama series such as Auf Wiedersehen, Pet; The Cinder Path; Cranford; Lark Rise to Candleford; Pride & Prejudice; Sharpe; and Tipping the Velvet.

This period detective television series about a Catholic Nun[15][16] is a co-production between BBC Studios and Britbox in North America,[17] and has debuted as a free-to-air series directly on Drama, without getting an airing first on BBC One.

In addition to drama programmes, the channel shows a number of classic BBC sitcoms in a teatime slot (usually between 5:25 pm and 8 pm) with Last of the Summer Wine, Keeping Up Appearances and Birds of a Feather being repeated in 2024.
