I've managed to deduce that UKTV's free channels don't have HD equivalents except for Dave, but Drama would certainly benefit from HD far more than Gold would.
Yes, and I think the repeating of shows on pay-tv channels to free channels that you describe was one of the issues raised by Virgin Media in their recent carriage dispute with UKTV. It is a bit off, frankly.
