But they weren’t. If other broadcasters get called out for being lazy when they rehash old shows why shouldn't Ch4? The one that is supposed to be different and innovative.

The C4 shows can be classed as ambitious and quirky in comparison. Compared to the originals, the budget wasn't there and that's another reason they failed.

There's nothing "ambitious" about knocking out watered down versions of shows from 30yrs ago. Late Night Lycett feels like the natural modern day successor to TFI Friday. Maybe we would have gotten it, or something similar, sooner had they not gone for a bit of click bait nostalgia first?. As for The Big Breakfast, CH4 had the perfect opportunity to make an impact in Daytime again but instead we got the distinctly generic Steph's Packed Lunch.
