Of all the programmes that make people get in touch with C4, these were most loved/unloved in March.

Unloved:
1. C4 News again topped viewer complaints in March, and for the same programme as last month (though with slightly less complaints this time round): the coverage of the Prince Harry blackout story;
2. Deal or No Deal (episodes March 19, 20 March);
3. Dispatches: Undercover Tibet.

Loved:
1. Cutting Edge: Sex Change Soldier;
2. Willie’s Wonky Chocolate Factory;
3. C4 News… eh… for the same broadcast.

Cheers and Grumbles for the top 10 programmes that make people contact Channel 4.

Any thoughts?

Forum buzz picks up the forum discussions we’ve spotted on these and other programmes.

The TV Show this Saturday, 5 April, 4.05pm
Main debate: Boom & Bust, should TV property shows take some of the blame for the housing boom?
Second debate focuses on the killing of a pig, pre watershed, in A Cook's Tour of Spain, a programme which also appeared on both Cheers and Grumbles lists.

From reading the 'grumblers' comments I can only say I am amazed people even bother to complain at things that are so minor, i.e. The Simpsons probably said 'crap' at 6 'o' clock. I know completely realise why Socrates questioned democracy.

And as far as 'The elephant man' advert is concerned, please don't worry about being sensitive about reality - if you would have had to have blacked out his face to advertise the programme no-one would have watch it, secondly this is not Stalin's Russia.

I too enjoyed the cellphone rip off programme.

I have a question too.

When, if ever, does Channel 4 propose to bring back the ace Mark Thomas? It's been too long and there is a wealth of stuff for him to gnaw at.

If it's a matter of money I'll send a quid.

Yes, bring back Mark Thomes, his country needs him

I'll send a couple of quid

i cant believe some of the complaints have peps nothing better to lol.

the mobile phone episode of dispatches was good however as somebody who works in the industry i would like to say we have a 3 to 4 month period where we will try to collect outstanding debt and resolve any issues we certainly do not get 3rd party debt collectors involved straight away also debt agency's are only uses as a last resort .people do need to take ownership of mobile phone bills and treat them as any other utility bill.i know if i have a monthly mobile bill i make sure its paid and if i cant afford it then i would stop using it lol
i am not saying i agree at all with the money these company's make from the consumer i just thought the debt collection process of the company's was not highlighted

but hey its just my opinion lol

Mark Thomas is a brilliant broadcaster, and i cannot understand why he is not on the tv.

CHANNEL 4 News; stop knocking it, it is without ANY doubt the best, most informative, thought provoking and unbiased news service in the uk..
ITV/GMTV for the legions that cant understand more than single sillable words.simple.
BBC become too policticaly biased.
SKY Mr Murdochs mouth pieace, nothing more !

- How do you provoke discussion without educated insight, like it or not,, that is UnBiased democratic debate!
