Maybe this isn’t what channel four want, and maybe would be controversial, but if Channel 4’s remit as the “alternative public service broadcaster” is so important (which it is!) then surely it isn’t mental to suggest some sort of public subsidy. Clearly channel 4 has lost its way in recent years in an attempt to keep itself on the right financial track to make those shows that push the boundaries.

I also think for a fair few of us in our 20s, growing up watching Channel 4’s programmes was something of a staple, I get we’re not really in that linear television age but it feels like the channel has become, to coin a phrase, all together less relevant. I’m not really sure if that’s important, or how you’d get that back, it just feels like for all the individual successes (It’s a sin being the last real major ground breaking show for me with major public impact) there’s not really a coherent structure to get people to watch the channel aside from tuning in for things they like, like Goggle Box or 24 Hours in A&E or Bake-off.
