Channel 4

I'm shocked Channel 4 didnt call themselves "Friends 4ever" when they kept showing friends every single time.

Matron!

Let's just be grateful they haven't decided to dedicate it to Skins repeats

The announcers on E4 made sure of taking the piss out of the Friends repeats.

See 1:00.

They do the same with TBBT repeats!

Channel 4 Christmas idents have launched this afternoon. Same ones as the past few years.

I wonder if there's an addition to the Channel 4 Christmas idents? Saw a teaser short of The Tiger Who Came To Tea appearing behind the blocks of the Channel 4 logo.

Can I just say how much I'm looking forward to The Tiger Who Came to Tea? It's one of my favourite books to read to my children, and it looks from the trailer like they've really done it justice.

Channel 4 always smash it out of the park with their book animations every Christmas.

They got an early showing of The Snowman and a few others in today as well.

Well worth reading this article about how last night's awful Alternative Election programme was stolen away from the production company that created it. There is a wider scandal emerging where the production company Expectation, conveniently run by childhood friends of C4 head Ian Katz, is constantly getting commissioned by C4 to make a number of very poorly produced programmes. The company also happened to lose £6 million last year.

Channel 4's decision to controversially swap producers on its Alternative Election did not go well.

It was watched by 240k last night, that's less than half last 2017's audience of 570k and way down on 2015's 1.2m and 2010's 1.4m.

Ouch. https://t.co/tmovV7VPyT
