Just watched this programme on 4 Learning, it's narrated by that continuity announcer with the name that's impossible to spell so I won't even try. Anyway it followed a day in production at Big Brother, Time Team Big Dig, Channel 4 News and RI:SE, and has a fascinating support website at http://www.channel4.com/learning/microsites/W/wtc4/

Apparently an announcer once said:
"Next on Channel 4 there's 'Room for Improvement'"

So true, Laughing

That's the one.

Never seen it before though. The programme can't be that old, it was made on the day Alistair Campbell did that unscheduled interview on the news.

It's been shown at least once before this year and twice before christmas. 4Learning seem to be repeating things all the time lately, they've shown Teen Big Brother about several times already too.

I guess it shows who's around to watch 4Learning in the morning, and who's usually off doing something else Razz Laughing

I was actually quite surprised how much I must watch it to know that as I'm usually asleep at that time of day. Laughing

I taped the show when it was on before Christmas last year and I have to say it was very good. The thing is that they only made three episodes! I thought that there was an episode about Channel 4's History, but it appears that it doesn't exsist. It is very good and there's tons you learn about the channel.

For the behind the scenes of Channel 4 News, they couldn't have selected a better day for it, as it was the day when Alistair Campbell came on the show, very good indeed.

Plus they admitted in a nice way that RI:SE was doing crap in the ratings.

Though the CEO (Can't remember his name) was slightly patronising.
