Channel 4 Reviews

Battleships will not be everybody’s choice of viewing but as a naval history lesson it is unparalleled and a must for anyone with more than a pinch of salt in his or her veins. As an island nation we have relied on our naval forces, to stay independent and unconquered for centuries and done so with a great deal of success as the ...  Read the complete review

Channel 4 tries to be sophisticated and youthful, mixing successful American dramas with new home grown shows. On occasion it can take things too far with cheap tackyness (especially for their late night programmes) which they try to fob off as "different." However, more so than other UK terrestrial channels they have ...  Read the complete review

Aren't they great? And more importantly, isn't channel 4 the only one that can get it right? BBC 2 is renowned for it's huge turnover of shoddy comedies- most of which are simply trying to achieve that which has been consistently achieved by channel 4 since it's creation. Recently, Spaced and Black books have ...  Read the complete review

As the show will only be on a limited amount of time and isn't listed in 'Comedy' had to bung it in here. The show is called 'The Dave Gorman Collection' which has to already win an award for the oddest title. The first show described how the show came about. Basically Dave Gorman (a comedian) was ...  Read the complete review

I couldn't find a category for this one, so it's going here. I'm actually quite enjoying this new attempt at an English Dawson's Creek. I'm sorry to stick that label on it, but it's smart and witty and aimed squarely at a 12 to 25 age group, so comparisons are inevitable. I think one of the first ...  Read the complete review

I rarely watch daytime TV due to work commitments, but when I do, i'm just shocked at what rubbish most of it is. It's just totally mind-numbingly boring. Not until after 11pm, generally, does it pick up. A couple of years ago, 4-later was introduced. Channel 4 have really scored a winner with this, showing some fairly obscure ...  Read the complete review

I have every respect for channel four. They provide us with entertaining, sometimes contraversial programmes that other terrestrial channels wouldnt touch with a barge pole. I am shocked and saddened though, that they have also jumped on the band wagon and come up with E4, putting all their great programmes such as freinds on to ...  Read the complete review

Channel 4 seems to be the only UK terrestrial channel to have tapped into what opened-minded viewers want to watch. The programmes range in depth from quirky titilations such as 'Eurotrash' to informative reports on historical and modern-day areas of interest. Their 'Secrets of the Dead' series has brought ancient ...  Read the complete review

I would say this isn't a good terrestrial channel because it doesn't show much footbaall, but then again, hardly any terrestrial channes show very much football any more. Anyway, as far as comedy is concerned Channel 4 is definitely the best. With the launch of E4, the Channel 4 Company is looking good at the moment. ...  Read the complete review

Bar The News (I still prefer The BBC), Channel 4 is fast becoming the best terrestial viewing there is. Every since the phenomenon that was Big Brother, Channel 4 has just been getting better and better, with their increasing power to attract more popular shows. There is little doubt the station is aimed towards the younger age ...  Read the complete review

Channel 4 has just got better and better as I have got older. This is the perfect channel for teenagers and those who like teenage programmes! First of there is Friday night, where would we be without out episodes of Dawson's Creek, Friends, Trigger Happy TV and Fraiser to name but a few! During the week there are ...  Read the complete review

So it's the end of an era and Johnnie and Denise have gone on to pastures new and who have the powers that be put in their place? Debbie Magee and Paul Daniels!!!!!oh and Richard smarmy faced Bacon to boot. What a disaster. No, I'm sorry to have to say it but Channel 4 have got to change the format of this programme ...  Read the complete review

Last night I sat down to watch "100 greatest No 1's" which started at 8pm on channel four and lasted for four hours. It was presented by Graham Norton, whom I think was the best person for the job as he was very funny. When it started my dad and I decided we would have little competition to see who could guess the ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw this programme I thought of the Simpsons straight away. It has an amazing plot and is extremely funny, but aint a smadge on the simpsons. It is about a man called fry and the adventures of him and his freinds (BENDER the robot who can get hooked on electricity, Layla a one eyed alien and a mad ...  Read the complete review

Futurama is kind of a hip Star Trek. Set in the year 3000 it centres around the life of FRY. Fry was in the 20th century but on new years eve 1999 he fell into a cryogenic freezer which kept him in suspended animation until he was released in the year 3000. Fry got a job with a crazy professor who is a distant relly. Together with his ...  Read the complete review

I've been watching Friends since series 2 started. I missed the first series but I have ow seen every single episode and I luv them all!! Friends is like a series/comedy which has won many awards. There are six main characters in the show called: 1.Joey Tribiani 2.Phoebe Buffet 3.Monica Gellar 4.Ross ...  Read the complete review

I have to say how disappointed I am with channel 4. Although they have some very good programs, they are constantly censoring things, it is like they have gone trigger happy with the censoring. For example, they censor the brands on 'making the band', why? Who cares if it says 'Coca Cola@ on a can? And also Angel, they have ...  Read the complete review

I feel a sense of belonging to the poorer channels. Channel 4 in particular seems to have a wide range of programs that other channels do not have. I have just recently finished watching shooting gallery (on very late so I'd advise to record it). This is a slot in which film makers show some of there short films. These are not always ...  Read the complete review

Throughout the day channel 4 isn't really something to get excited about but then the clock strikes midnight and 4-Later starts. 4-Later has some of the best programs you can ever watch on TV from Late Night Poker to The Fist Of The North Star. I just love lying in my bed watching all my favourite programs with a plate of food ...  Read the complete review

Channel four has always been able to get hold of the american sit coms, dramas, action series before any other tesestrial TV and this is why i believe TV on Channel four has never been any better, i believe with the ...  Read the complete review
