Oh dear - they're going to have to give the schedules a quick shuffle now!

Perhaps Friends Of The Earth put pressure on Channel 4 because they heard there would be an increase in emissions!

...I'll stop now before I reach the point of no return. Wink

“C4 pulls w*nk week
Quote:
Channel 4 has postponed transmission of its "w*nk week" programming in a bid to avoid further controversy in the aftermath of the Celebrity Big Brother racism row.

The network's short season of three late night documentaries about masturbation was to have been broadcast next month, but has now been taken out of the schedule.

They are expected to be broadcast at a later date, but it is understood they may be broadcast separately and certainly not as part of a branded **** week season.


Yes I could see how documentaries about self-onanism could cause a race-row Rolling Eyes Wink

Okay everyone - the question is - What is Channel 4 for?
On the argument that W*nk Week would never have been shown on BBC, ITV or 5
What should be the remit of Channel 4?
Entertainment? Lifestyle? News? Documentaries?
In what way did W*nk Week meet any of those requirements?
