In Summer 2007 we are premiering our exciting new series, Cape Wrath. Early 2008 will also see the return of Shameless for a sixteen part run.

We aim to make drama series with a strong sense of authorship, and are constantly looking for the best of new British writing, directing and producing talent. We are seeking standout series ideas that are fresh, audacious and entertaining, with an emphasis on subversive fun. We aim to be innovative and original within the series format, and to give viewers an alternative spin on life, within a world they want to return to.

In the last year, our events have included Low Winter Sun, The Mark of Cain and Secret Life. We are committed to developing and commissioning a number of high-profile one or two parters that are genuine must-see television - stories which pack a punch and which couldn’t be found on any other channel. Each needs to have one bold, clear, definitive idea at its heart which resonates with the lives of our viewers. Ambition and authorship are crucial, and we need these events to take risks and ask questions of the audience, whether they are light or serious in tone.

Channel 4 drama aims to be cutting edge, contemporary and unafraid to push boundaries. Our drama can punch above its weight and have a big impact in its creativity, originality and distinction.
