So Film 4 and Channel 4 launched at the same time or year as Film 4 is also 40 interesting 🤨

Thanks for sharing this - can it really be 40 years...? IMHO still the best 'news' on the TV and C4 thru' the years has broadcast some great programmes, not least the magnificent and memorable Twin Peaks that was recently discussed on the forum.

There have been reports that the government is now reviewing the decision to sell off C4.

Talking of Channel 4 they are planning to rebrand All 4 to Channel 4 in 2023. To be this is just daft and confusing! All 4 is well established as a streaming catch up service.

Yes the first film shown by Channel 4 was the Stephen Frear film Walter which premiered on the channel in 1982. The first film funded by Film4 Productions was 1982s Angel.
