Listen to this article

Speaking at Channel 4 Sales 2014 Upfront event, Chief Creative Officer Jay Hunt announced major new programme commissions including the return of Drugs Live – with new ground-breaking scientific trials looking at the effects on the brain of high strength ‘Skunk’ cannabis.

Following the tremendous success of the critically-adored ratings hit Educating Yorkshire, Channel 4 will revisit Thornhill Community Academy in a special one-off documentary produced by TwoFour to catch up with some of the best loved characters from the series. Airing as a Christmas special, the film will see how they are getting on in the new school year and celebrate some of the highlights of the series.

Also at the 2014 Upfront event, Jay announced a brand new series, Guy Martin: Speed – in which the renowned motorcycle racer, engineer and presenter takes on four speed based challenges to explore the boundaries of physics and learn about the science of speed. The challenges include an attempt to break the British record for outright speed on a bicycle – at 110mph; riding a motorbike across a lake; and flying using muscle power alone.

Channel 4’s historical drama, The Mill – which averaged 3.2 million viewers across its run this summer, will also return for a second series. The second season will follow life at Quarry Bank Mill between 1838 and 1842; a time of great political change following the Poor Act Amendment of 1834 which put the blame of poverty on the poor themselves – making the distinction between ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ poor.
