LONDON: There are a wealth of new shows coming to Channel 4, including the French supernatural crime thriller Rebound <\/em>(Les Revenants<\/em>). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jay Hunt, the chief creative officer at the channel, announced a number of new programs coming to Channel 4. Among them, The Murder Trail <\/em>features the first-ever use of remotely-operated cameras being placed inside a British criminal court to capture a murder trial in its entirety. In another first for the network, Channel 4 is marking the month of Ramadan with a special season of programming dedicated to British Muslims. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Human Swarm<\/em> uses cutting-edge science to explore changes in weather and how it leads to differences in human behavior. Do You Speak English<\/em>? <\/em>looks at the 1 million immigrants who are living in Britain and are on the edge of communities because they cannot speak English. The show will watch as four first-generation immigrants try to learn the language for the first time. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Skint <\/em>(working title) follows the lives of a group of people who are either on long-term unemployment, have never worked or are growing up without any expectation of working. Channel 4 has recommissioned Utopia <\/em>and My Mad Fat Diary <\/em>for 2014, while acquiring Rebound<\/em>, an eight-part series that was a big hit in its native France. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David Mitchell hosts the new entertainment series Was It Something I Said?<\/em>, which sees two teams taking part in a battle of word play. Peter Kay returns to Channel 4 with a brand-new one-hour special, Malachy’s Millions<\/em>, in which he plays a self-made millionaire who trades in his luxury lifestyle to live undercover in a destitute former mining town. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Grand National will be broadcast for the first time on Channel 4 this April, with a range of programming building up to the horse race as well. This includes What It Takes to Win the Grand National<\/em>, which draws on the testimony of jockeys. On the eve of the event will be the celebrity-filled special Alan Carr Specstacular <\/em>and on the day of the race Sunday Brunch<\/em>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hunt said: “After a dramatic end to 2012 with award winning Paralympic coverage, live drugs tests and crashed planes, we have started 2013 at the same pace—finding a King in a car park, building our own bionic man and exposing a major political scandal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span><\/span>We are continuing to take risks and innovate in the months ahead with experimental factual like Easter Egg Live<\/em>, channel defining new comedy like Man Down <\/em>and London Irish<\/em>, and powerful documentary like Educating Yorkshire<\/em> and Skint<\/em>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“In the same vein, we’re also commissioning the sorts of shows only four would make—exploring multiculturalism in Do They Speak English<\/em>, using cutting-edge science to understand how weather affects human behavior, and by delivering TV firsts like Murder Trial <\/em>and daily morning prayers as part of the Ramadan season.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m also delighted that channel defining pieces like Dennis Kelly’s Utopia<\/em> and Rae Earl’s Mad Fat Diary <\/em>will be returning to the channel, alongside the acquisition of an exceptional new French sci-fi crime thriller, Rebound<\/em>.”
