Innovation and New Talent
The Channel will encourage new talent and new companies in all genres. The Comedy Lab strand will offer slots for new onscreen talent as well as new comedy writers and companies. The Channel has committed to new writers with major comedy series including Garth Marenghi´s Darkplace and The Last Chancers, and dramas including Shameless, No Angels and NyLon. The Channel will take risks with new events and formats including Shattered. Experimental formats in history will include The Princes in the Tower and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Other new formats in 2004/5 include the comedy animation Streatham Hill.
Current affairs will experiment with a new strand on Friday evenings, and there will be a new late night current affairs talkshow. The Art Show will encourage new directors and showcase the work of new artists. Channel 4 will ringfence slots and funding for new talent including Alt TV, The Other Side and The Slot, and will encourage new multicultural presenters for the Made in Britain series and current affairs programmes. FilmFour will continue to work with new talent and support groundbreaking work through the FilmFour Lab. The Channel will also build on new partnerships outside television in 2004/5. These include the Castleford project, a major civic transformation in Yorkshire, and Ideasfactory, an innovative online careers and learning service.
