This book traces how the channel came about, and provides an account of its eventful history through a focus on key figures including Jeremy Isaacs, Liz Forgan, Phil Redmond, Michael Grade, Andrea Wonfor and Michael Jackson. It covers signature and stand-out (for good and bad reasons) C4 programs such as "Right To Reply," "The Tube," "The Comic Strip Presents," "The Big Breakfast," "The Word," "Brookside," "Wife Swap" and "Faking it"; the channel's success with American imports such as "Hill Street Blues," "Friends" and "Sex and the City," and the rise and fall of Film Four. Luke Johnson, Chairman of C4, has contributed a foreword for this book.
