[Parsons]

I would argue that all of those programmes you list, which are current, are hardly cutting edge. In fact, they are all a bit mundane.

I accept that Big Brother, in its early years was groundbreaking, and in the 80s and 90s the comedy and satire were indeed unconventional and experimental. But that’s not the C4 of today.

I also would say that Netflix, the ultimate example of where capitalism gets you in tv entertainment has innovated and taken risks with its content significantly more than C4 has over the last 5 years.
