I'm way too young to remember that, but the presentation is interesting -- found some good videos <a href="http://www2.tv-ark.org.uk/channel4/1982.html">over at TV ARK</a>. It all reminds me of the Crystal Maze for some reason. Probably the arrows and crosshairs that seem to have been in vogue back in the late 1980s / early 1990s. That’s cool!

Pfft... you need to go back far earlier than that. 4Later, while entertaining, was a rehash of the truly fine <i>Nightime</i> slot in 1987, which kept broadcasting until 3am on some nights. No announcers, and plenty of strange animation, European film, and artistic goodies... there's been nothing like it since. The music on this clip will instantly bring back strong memories for some of us: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yR2Eh5W3ME 4Later?

E4 is responsible for most of that. :D They say that every minute of every day, Friends is on somewhere in the world. E4 is responsible for most of that. :D

"When you think of C4 and American imports, it’s more common to think of, among others, Friends, Hill Street Blues, Friends, Roseanne, Friends, Cheers, Friends, Frasier, Friends, The Sopranos, Friends, The West Wing, Friends, Ugly Betty and, of course, Friends. But C4 also unearthed gems like “Liberty!” as well, and it’s doubtful that any other terrestrial broadcaster would have bothered to do so." I have never watched Friends. Any time I caught it while channel hopping it seemed spectacularly unfunny. They do flog it to death though. “Well, the one I saw was called “Liberty! The American War of Independence”,”

Well, the one I saw was called "Liberty! The American War of Independence", so they must have shown two separate series. :D And yes, PBS it may be, it still deserves a mention.

I was being a bit facetious with Albion Market - it was a disastrous attempt at a serial to rival Coronation Street and Eastenders, but ended up being sub-Eldorado, if I recall correctly!...

It was actually The American Civil War and it was brilliant - especially the wry historian Shelby Foote and the music they played behind it.
