“I can’t discuss details, but we have a series coming up using immersive factual journeys as the backdrop for a primetime studio chat show. We’re never looking for ‘the next’ anything: ideas and approaches should be genuinely fresh.

Talent is the core of everything we do, and we’re constantly on the lookout for exciting, passionate individuals. A distinctively C4 features programme – like Embarrassing Illnesses or Supersize vs. Superskinny – isn’t afraid to tackle complex or difficult issues, generate debate and challenge viewers to re-assess their take on modern life.”

“Big Chef Saves Little Chef is a new doc series in which Heston Blumenthal aims to turn around a much-loved but somewhat derided national institution. It’s a great experiment, a brilliant clash of cultures, and it’s real.

I like ideas that have purpose, but are also provocative, entertaining, audacious and subversive. I’m always on the look out for new off-camera talent, and there’s also a great need for new on-screen talent at 9pm.”
