Other broadcasters have turned away from documentary, but in 2002 Channel 4 will commit to a range of longitudinal series that illuminate some of the key institutions of British life including the NHS, Oxford University and the House of Lords. 

We will focus on authorship, working with some of the most talented contemporary film makers, including Paul Watson, Molly Dineen, Nick Broomfield and Errol Morris.

We will make room for personal view programmes in peak time.

We will continue to prioritise modern documentary and documentary formats that appeal to a younger audience, with Undercover Cops, Teenage Kicks and Steaming In, and a successor to Faking it.  We aim to combine ambition, intelligence and energy with a popular sensibility.

AltTV will continue to give young talent their first break into peak time television, providing their first foothold on the Documentaries talent ladder.
