Fine. Channel 4's imports are better then the crap they make themselves anyway. Imports are about the only things I watch these day's. Neither were on Ch4 but the 2 best shows on TV this year have been Mad Men and the final series of The Wire. Sadly though both were watched by few because people would rather watch formulaic crap like The Bill & Coronation Street. As the above poster said, while people continue to watch trash in droves over 'The Wire' they'll continue to make it. Good TV is out there (if you look hard enough) - people just don't watch it.

But having said that without Big Brother, Channel 4 would have even more imports and repeats
