Don’t get me wrong, the illusion is so blatantly obvious…but I love how Channel 4 are returning to this kind of experimental, one-off TV. It’s not Derren Brown levels of excitement, but I’m glad they’re doing it again. #millionpoundshot
I support Channel 4 with their anti-gambling campaign but it’s very ironic they still show gambling ads themselves. They should really stop showing them for the reasons they discuss in their campaign.
The irony of Channel 4's Million Pound Shot being an elaborate anti-gambling stunt.
This is the same channel that signed a 14 month sponsorship deal with Paddy Power for First Dates.
Perhaps the biggest gamble is trying to explain that one. 🤣

What a clever way to highlight the devastating effects of gambling addiction. Presenting it in such a relatable way really brings home how quickly gambling can spiral out of control and the impact it can have, on the individual,and the people around them too. 👏👏 #Channel4

Only the BBC could devise a funding model where the solution to people not watching your programmes is to charge them for watching somebody else's.
Under this logic, every time I order a Domino's, I should send Pizza Hut £2.50 to support the future of British pizza.

Removing comedy sketches because the iPlayer curators assume the public can’t handle intent or context isn’t protecting anyone - it’s just lowering the bar until nobody’s allowed to be funny without a signed risk assessment.

Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade lead an all-star line-up of celebrities in HOT OR COLD, a new unscripted series set inside mysterious rooms with challenges that appear to make no sense. Their only guide is the room itself, which glows red when they’re getting warmer and blue when they’re getting colder.
