Newest Review: ... done by mainstream media. Yet, as previously mentioned, the series could be construed as being biased toward Israel. This is very clear in the statement made by Channel 4, which was cited by the article. The article states: A Channel 4 representative said the central characters "consistently and sympathetically present a contemporary Israeli perspective," and the Holocaust was "powerfully evoked" to explain the longing for a Jewish homeland. "To do justice to such a complex and sensitive subject, Mr. Kosminsky and his team spoke to hundreds of people from all sides in the conflict. It is very upsetting to h... more

London - British Jews should specify their position in the Middle East conflict by abstaining at least from fighting in and with the Israeli army in occupied Palestine. TheyBritish Media outlets are busy analyzing "The Promise," which is Peter Kosminsky's new four-part drama about British involvement in Palestine and the establishment of the Israeli state. The serial indeed shapes a new era in British mainstream media and their coverage. To show such drama that stands by justice is a turning point in educating the British public about their history and the great mistake committed by their ancestors. Without a doubt, Channel 4's coverage ...  Read the complete review

Channel 4 in my experience has always had a great mix of programmes which along with the BBC stations makes it one of the best available and I include in this everything available on your various Sky packages. With comedy, drama, documentary, news and quiz shows there really is something on offer for everyone. The network has always had a reputation for being different or experimenting with new shows that others have questioned the merit of who just found completely objectionable. I cannot mention and describe every show that has ever been shown on Four but I will talk about some of my current favourites and some from the past that I can remember. The ...  Read the complete review

Channel 4 is one of the current 5 major terrestrial channels that are broadcasted on UK television screens. The channel first came to UK screens in 1982. The station is funded with adverts which are shown during and in between programmes but it is actually publicly owned by the Channel Four Television Corporation. The channel was initially established to provide a rival to the BBC and ITV stations in order to get new and diverse programmes on UK screens. The channel has a remit and has certain public service obligations it has to fulfil in terms of it's programming. This means it has to broadcast programmes which are diverse in nature and cater to a wide range of tastes .  Read the complete review

Channel 4 is a Terrestial Television Channel that features quite a few good Television programmes. If I didn't have Sky Tv, then it would be 1 of the few channels I would most watch, but I do watch it quite a lot anyway. I think this channel has been out since 1980. Thesedays on SKy and Cable there is a few other Channel 4 Channels as well. You get Channel 4 HD Channel 4 + 1 hour, More 4, More 4 + 1 hour, E4 and E4 + 1 Hour. The E4 channel often shows new shows ahead of them being on Channel 4, and More 4 is often shows that have been on Channel 4 at 1 point. You get programmes like Big Brother, Come Dine With Me, Dispatches, Countdown, some good ...  Read the complete review

Channel 4: By far the best of the big five... (315 words)

Channel 4 is by far my favourite terrestrial TV channel, offering a unique and very eclectic mix of programming that ranges from brainless reality TV to intellectually engaging films. I'm not a fan of everything they do (see: aforementioned brainless reality TV), but there's enough of the good stuff that the bad is mostly cancelled out, all the more important now that C4 have finally cancelled Big Brother! It is easy to trace their mission statement from simply their soap output: they aim at a less middle-class, more open-minded and younger, more daring target audience, with the likes of defunct soap such as Brookside pushing the envelope with regard to ...  Read the complete review
