Channel 4

Theres no doubt Channel Four were the Zeitgeist of TV channels in the 1980s and where the kids would weld their TV knobs. In fact when the red triangle appeared in the top corner they would be twidling their knobs all night! The red triangle, if you didn't know, meant fairley uncensored naughty and nudityt and we loved it! Taping Russ Meyer movies shown at 3:30 on Satruday morning (famous for their fabulous big breasted gals) was what it was all about back then if you were a red-blooded young male! C4 was also streets ahead in sitcoms, documentries and news programs in the decadent 1980s, as ... more

Somewhere in the catacombs of the Channel 4 headquarters is a small office full of highly educated and probably very well paid but little known officials called “Programme Schedulers”. These representatives of C4`s backroom staff obviously have an extremely difficult job to do. Their task is to plan the schedules of C4, sometimes months and sometimes years in advance, in order to successfully comply with and fulfil all the competing criteria of a modern TV station. If we consider what some of these criteria might be, a few of them will probably spring to mind to us untrained in ... more

I always think of channel 4 as being the package holiday of the television world. Once there you can watch whatever you likr for free and the entertainment isnt all that bad. Get bored and you can walk to another resort such as the BBC for a little extra in the way of laughs. THE TOP PROGRAMS: Well, I have to say that I am personally a fan of this channel, simply because it has all the shows I like. The main head shows are as follows: * Brookside(Weekdays prime time) * Hollyoaks(Mon, Weds, Thurs prime time) * Frasier (Friday night) * Friends (Weekday evenings/friday night) * 4 Music (Thursday ... more

Apologies for this being about a show on C$, but as that said show has ended, I doubt that CIAO will give me a catagorey so it has to go here. Hence also why all ratings at end are mid-range. The last series finished about 3 years ago. It was the best camera related show that has ever graced our screens? You think Big Brother and it's however many cameras are good, this was amazing with only 6 cameras. The show I am talking about is 'Wanted'. The basic plot was that 3 teams of two had to go across the country for a week. Each day they had to perform a certain task. For example, one team had to ... more

BANZAI- Japanese-style game show. 10.30pm Channel 4 I’ve seen other Chinese and Japanese style game shows, but this one is on channel 4 so if you haven’t got sky/ sky digital you can still watch some crazy entertainment without paying extra cash. Banzai sets up a number of challengers for each show. “Those dick is real” You will see 5 men stood in a line each with very bulging out under pants on. The screen will then flash different colours and then this stupid, but extremely funny Japanese man will shout “betting begin.” Then he will say “betting over ... more
