funnily enough I was thinkin about that just this morning... happy birthday C4... wonder if they're gonna do anything special for Brookside & Countdown tonite, seeing as they were on day one and all... or maybe they'd save that up for the big 2-0 next year...

The big celebrations will occur next year for the big 20. A number of independant companies are currently pitching to C4 for programmes surrounding the anniversairy.

Problem is, we'll have to wait another year to see those...
