Frequently Asked Questions

How can I obtain a copy of a Channel 4 programme?

As you can imagine, we receive hundreds of calls and e-mails requesting copies of programmes and our policy is that we do not provide these as, among other reasons, it would seriously impact on the ability of Channel 4 or its production company partners to sell programmes, for example on DVDs, after they have been broadcast on Channel 4.

However, All 4 offers an extensive On Demand service, with most programmes being available in Catch Up for a period of up to 30 days after they have been aired on television. Many of these programmes then move seamlessly into All 4’s huge free library of shows, which includes complete box sets of some of our most popular series.

Some programmes are available to purchase on DVD. For more information about obtaining a copy of a Channel 4 programme, including for educational purposes, please contact our Viewer Enquiries team.
