Let's try turning it
on and off again...

channel4.com will not be available
Saturday 11 March 9am-6pm

Don't worry, it's not broken - we're just having a bit of a spring clean. The boys in the lab are busy dusting down channel4.com, and we won't be able to come out to play until they've finished. We'll be back later today, but in the meantime why don't you click on the link below and see what's on the telly?

Does anyone know exactly what they're doing :

Clearing old url's, deleting old files - just clearing and updating the site a little I guess.

Seeing as I noticed a few weeks back that the RI:SE minisite was still there, it shows why it needs clearing up.

Nice IT Crowd quote there, good to see C4's sense of humour even extends to their web admin people

Exactly what I was about to say.

Off then on would surely serve a better purpose, no?

Lol, cheered me up, and thought it was an odd coincidence since I was on my way to the IT crowd minisite!

is it me or is the whole site a hell of a lot faster today?

Yeah, I guess they've freed up some space now and got rid of dead stuff...
