Description

In 1982, Channel 4 burst onto British television screens. Charged by Parliament to appeal to tastes and interests not generally catered for by ITV, to be innovative, experimental, and educational, the new channel had to attract audiences and make a space for new voices.  Did it fulfill its brief?  Published on the 25th Anniversary of Channel 4, this book tells the story of its early years under Jeremy Isaacs, its inspirational--and fundamental--first Chief Executive. It also assesses the legacy of the channel and asks:  has it changed the nature of British television, and has the enfant terrible grown up, or is it still a youthful rebel?
