Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled is a British television programme that is broadcast on Dave and hosted by comedian Alan Davies. In each episode Davies holds an unscripted roundtable discussion with four guests. The guests include stand-up comedians, comedy writers and other well-known figures in the entertainment industry. Each episode begins untitled - hence the series name - but a title is chosen at the conclusion of the episode, often a full or paraphrased quote from one of the guest's anecdotes.

As Yet Untitled began airing with a five-episode series in June 2014.[1] On 22 August 2014, Dave announced that the show would return in 2015 for a ten-part second series.[2] In April 2015 it was announced that the show would return for a third series with another ten episodes.[3] The first episode of the third series premiered on the Dave website in advance of its initial air date of 3 November 2015.
