In 1982, Channel 4 burst onto British television screens. Charged by Parliament to appeal to tastes and interests not generally catered for by ITV, to be innovative, experimental, and educational, the new channel had to attract audiences and make a space for new voices. Did it fulfill its brief? Published on the 25th Anniversary of Channel 4, this book tells the story of its early years under Jeremy Isaacs, its inspirational--and fundamental--first Chief Executive. It also assesses the legacy of the channel and asks: has it changed the nature of British television, and has the enfant terrible grown up, or is it still a youthful rebel?

Dorothy Hobson is Senior Lecturer in Media & Cultural Studies, University of Wolverhampton. She is a Fellow of the Royal Television Society & her publications include Crossroads: The Drama of a Soap Opera' (1982), and 'Soap Opera' (2003).
