New Commissions - May 2011

Channel 4's Chief Creative Officer, Jay Hunt, today announced new commissions across factual, drama, and comedy signalling her ambition to make Channel 4 the home of creative risk by backing new talent, distinctive authored voices and programming that asks urgent questions about how we live today.  

Speaking at the presentation of Channel 4's Annual Report, Hunt said, ‘I believe Channel 4's future lies in pieces that take risks. Risks on new talent, risks on difficult subject areas, risks with style and execution. It's more important than ever that Channel 4 is prepared to challenge the status quo, to provoke debate and, above all, to be brave.'
