You are entitled to your own views, but why should you have the right to inflict them on other people?

Err... This is a Discussion Forum... I've put forward my point and i don't expect people to agree or disagree with it.

As you say i am entitled to my own views, as is everyone else, cause if we didn't put forward our OWN views, then this forum would be Pretty EMPTY!!!!!

i know season 4 of without a trace started on more 4 the other day but when is the new season due to air on C4?

thanks

xpect it back on mondays after er ends its run in early june

ch4-what was the reason why you have change Sunday repeats of Desperate Housewives to tuesday morning?

also i notice u fitted 2 episode of lost this coming sunday but following sunday there 1 episode so why can't fit Desperate housewive episode repeat in that slot?

Lost is the big thing for 4 for the next few months, everything must be arranged around that schedule

Ch4 whats the craic with the oc on channel 4? its already one week behind and now its not back until 14th May so that makes it 3 episodes behind e4? are you ever gonna show double bills or it it just gonna be behind for the rest of the series and be treated like crap unlike lost which you show adverts for all bloody day.

Shameless- The number of episodes in any series is a matter for consideration and negotiation between ourselves and the other parties involved.

Without A Trace- As previously stated, this is due to come to Channel 4 in the summer. June is probably a little early as a guess, though.

The O.C.- There aren't any plans for double bills to "catch up" with E4.

Editing- I can't comment on regulations elsewhere in Europe, but our programmes are edited by experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of Ofcom regulations. Channel 4 absolutely do not censor programmes beyond this legal obligation. In fact, I went to those responsible for this for clarification. This is a verbatim account of the exchange: C4VE- "Can you confirm that it's our policy only to edit to ensure we're within Ofcom guidelines, rather than that we've somehow come over all Mary Whitehouse?", Acquisitions Editor- "Yes, absolutely." I think this is as clear as we can make this issue, and I'm afraid there isn't likely to be anything further we can add.

Hi C4,

Can you tell me why other shows, such as Lost, Desperate Housewives, Invasion, ER, etc are aired on C4 & E4 at the same time (with E4 being a week ahead) , but you aren't doing the same with Without a Trace?

Cheers.

Ethan.

oc screenings on c4 will fall behind e4 by 3 wks due 2 alt scheduling on sunday.

Scheduling decisions are taken on a case by case basis. There's no set formula, and some shows are on other channels before coming to Channel 4.

A few Big Brother related questions, with it just around the corner.

What's happening with BBLB this year? Any news on the scheduling? Will it be exclusive to E4?

Also, most of us were expecting a glimpse of the eye during last night's Lost. Any idea when to expect a wee teaser?

Thanks for the info.

Also, with no 24 hour BB coverage (no red button) will there be more live coverage on E4 than usual? Will there still be a live stream online?

Dear C4VE,

Any chance you could cut down on the Lost ads in every fricking break. I have Lost fatigue already. So much so that I didn't watch it last night.

Love,

Verno.

Has anyone bought the rights to 'The Unit'?

Big Brother- Nothing confirmed at present, though it's unlikely BBLB will be restricted to E4. Expect a launch campaign shortly, when some more details will be available.

Lost commercial breaks- Placement and duration of breaks is constantly monitored. If you have a view on this you'd like to be seen by those responsible, contact Viewer Enquiries (click on Contact Us link at the bottom of the page).

The Unit- We don't have the rights to that.

Grandslam- If you could re-post that and make your meaning clear I'll try to answer it.

I read that Lost drew in 3.8 Million Viwers, with even less watching the second Ep. I wonder how many of these people also got cheesed off with the ads and thought to heck with this and switched off.. .

you are only hurting yourself C4!!!

Yes. Every item of feedback made through the appropriate channels (via Viewer Enquiries) is officially registered for the attention of those directly responsible.

Dear All,

I'm off to New York for a bit, so won't be around until the 17th. If you've got any urgent enquiries, please call Viewer Enquiries directly. Everything else I'll deal with when I return.

As usual, I make my plea that you confine this thread to questions only so that I can get to them that much quicker when I get back. If you want to discuss something or offer an opinion based on someone's post, please start another thread. Thank you for your cooperation.

Take care, everyone. I shall be back before you know it.

Oooo get you C4 off to New York! We will as always, enjoy your time away

Strange coincidence that you won't be back until just before BB starts?

Have a good time in New York, C4.

OK C4VE, her's one for ya, pon your return from Noo Yoik; what is/was the music for the recent C4/More4 trailer for Dispatches. It was subtitled the Women of Iraq, or something similar. If you can help me, thanks.

Do you sleep??

Hi

I'd like to ask about the music in two programmes: I loved what I heard in last night's (11th May) 'All in the Game', also much longer ago, the music on 'Illustrated Mum' was so great I've had it in my head on and off ever since. Would love to buy either if available.
